Hammerhead

I had only ever tried it "in passing" when I "met" it in a perfume store. I applied it and then tested it for the rest of the day. Since my wrist had to go to my nose every 10 minutes and I thought each time that it was really good, I bought it - even though my girlfriend kept reminding me of Tuscan Leather and asked why I wanted another Golf when I already had a Porsche in the garage.

When I finally had the Leather Blend at home and sprayed four spritzes on my neck and nape, I nearly fell over. Three times stronger than "in passing," I was enveloped for the rest of the day in a cloud where you could still smell the leather but unfortunately wrapped in a piercing aluminum cloud that gave me physical headaches. A week later, I tried it again with just one spritz on my neck, but by now I am so overwhelmed that I can't wear it anymore.
Like back in the day when, as a little boy, I had to vomit at weddings from cake (Black Forest, to be precise) and couldn't eat Black Forest for years afterwards - now I can, delicious :-)
Good scent, but way too intense.
Sold or traded.
Still, thank you for the experience.

The first time I smelled the fragrance, I was 16, in 1995. I was visiting a friend, and her father had a bottle of it in the bathroom. When I curiously sprayed a bit on my arm, I felt instantly 10 years older. Back then, I only used Axe as my "fragrance".
Fahrenheit was so full of different scents and impressions that I felt dazed.
The next day, when I went searching for the fragrance in a perfume store - back then there was no www - I was, of course, disappointed, as the price would cost me a whole month’s allowance.
From 1997 onwards - I remember this well because that was when I got my driver's license - I finally received a 100 ml Eau de Toilette bottle from my parents, and from then until today, the fragrance has been a loyal companion.
Fahrenheit has always had an indulgent undertone for me, a drunkenness of passion, sex, and long evenings. At the same time, it also carries a certain strictness that can express itself during the day at work and, fortunately, lasts all day. I even think that the fragrance only develops into what it is supposed to be after an hour.
I also discovered the band The Afghan Whigs back then. Their singer, who mixed 90s indie rock with old blues, always had a strong connection to Fahrenheit for me.
Perhaps it was the way Greg Dulli sang about sex and relationships, the way he never made a secret of wanting to sleep with a woman and interrupted it in a song. He managed to package ordinary things, latent sexist things, into a song without reducing or humiliating his partner. He sang about her butt and wrapped it up as if he were singing about a warm summer evening.
And so, I always associate Fahrenheit with the bluesy, passionate sound of the Afghan Whigs.
