Fahrenheit Summer (2001)
by Christian Dior

This would be a tumbs up for me if it wasn`t so light. I got very disappointed with the lack of sillage and longevity. It`s Fahrenheit less complex and intense. Take out most of the oily aspects of the violet, leave just something of the green leafy aroma of it, fade the leather base to something very close to skin, and put a bright citrus opening. It works out, you can still recognize the leather and violet signature of fahrenheit, and it`s sound fresher and pleasant on hot days. But it doesn`t last more than three hours, so if you want to wear it all day, you better take the bottle with you every place you go...

This is good stuff. No wonder all the positive reviews. A relative of Fahrenheit for sure, but so much brighter. No longer the dark, man-in-a-leather-jacket carrying a gasoline (petrol) canister vibe, but still strong and lovely. I like it!

I wear this one year round. Its sharp citrus with pepper, pepper and more constant pepper. I like how it picks up in winter and still has power, even though it is a summer named fragrance. The motor oil note from the original Fahrenheit is gone, and leaves the bright fruity notes with pepper sprinkled across the board. Its a simple yet amazing fragrance.

A citrusy violet that's sharp and boisterous. If Fahrenheit is too potent but you still like it, the summer version would be a good alternative.

The previous excellent reviews cover it well.... take the original Fahrenheit and give it some citrusy floral topnotes. Once the topnotes fade the heart is still all Fahrenheit = but toned down by about 50%. On top of the fantastic original there's a little bit of citrus that adds 'twang' well into the base. Not nearly as much of a sillage monster as the original, but it can definitely announce presence, especially with a moderate application.

If you are going to wear Fahrenheit in the summer, then this has to be the one you wear on the hottest days. It's everything there is to like about the original - it just takes away the mechanical scent (so I call it) and replaces it with crisp citrus and florals, yet still lets everything come through in the end. Brilliant.
