Reviews of Fahrenheit 32 (2007)
by Christian Dior

Fahrenheit 32 starts out as a shot of good old goofy fun: vanilla mint with coconut cream. Ten minutes later it’s deflated into a plain artificial vanilla that's too thin to disguise what seems to have become the standard issue fougere base of loud, cloying powdery synthetic woods and amber.

Whoever makes this base must be buried in cash right now, because it’s a major challenge to find a modern mass market masculine that doesn’t use it by the gallon. I’d love to know what it is, on the superstitious principle that being able to name an evil will empower me against it. Meanwhile, this nameless horror turns Fahrenheit 32 into utter crap on me.

to me this has a kind of synthetic smell, but i really like it. it stays close to the skin. the longevity is excellent. this has become one of my favourites along with dior homme in the dior line.

Nice and straightforward. Milky, fruity sweetness. It's not very fresh to me, feels a bit on the heavier side.

I bought F32 at an airport in London this March, looking for a fresh but not aquatic summer scent.
As it is 32 Degrees today (thats Celsius ;) ) in Germany, I find it fitting to give it a brief review.
While I love the original Fahrenheit, I must say that I like F32 although it has nothing in common with it.
The opening is fresh and sweet but not too feminin given a hint of citrus. The fresh feeling stays on your skin until about 45 minutes. After the drydown it gets a bit sweeter, loosing the freshness.
I also noticed a somewhat artificial smell lurking around the corner after about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. It smells a bit like freshly washed clothes.
This artificial smell is the only thing I dont like in this fragrance, as it ruins the "sexyness". Which grown up man wants to smell like freshly washed clothes?
Also, being 26 years old, I feel that I shouldnt be much older, as this scent IMO is for the younger guys.
But if your young (or feeling young) and like fresh scents that are a bit sweet (like I do) then give it a try!
Its a great summer scent and makes you feel fresh during a hot summer day.

Ouch! Renperd is right: What a horrible spicy/sharp smell is that at the first hour?! It's nauseating... F32 was one of the few fragrances that made me feel ill after sampling. When it dries down, however, It gets better: turns to a powdery vanilla type of scent.

Big Fan of Fahrenheit. this flanker is a good sequel, it zestier and not as warm as the original. It brings a different theme to Fahrenheit. More Citrusy but definitely maintains all the notes that i fell in love with the Fahrenheit.

To me this seems to be one ofthe best winter frags. It sounds amazing on a sunny winter snowy day.

A complete favourite of mine. Everytime I wear it I get compliments all around. I can not recommend this enough!

It is white, it is flowery, it is a little bit sweet and a little bit feminine. I do not know Fleur Du Male (only from reviews), but if someone would say to me that this scent is it, I would believe it (both white bottles (and white commercials), both flowers, both a little bit feminine) - it fits the image.

I do not really like it that much, but for really warm weather it might work refreshing when you are planning to do nothing besides hanging around the house. Other then that I might use my bottle as a room refresher.

It is not bad at all, but it is too soft/clean and that makes it (to me at least) boring.

This was a blind buy at the mall and I couldn't be happier. Finally, I've found a fresh summer fragrance that isn't overtly synthetic, complicated, or sweet . The neroli (I also get watermelon) opening lasts a good 30 minutes, at which point I experience a nice, warm vetiver balanced with vanilla notes, as well as hints of the light citrus opening throughout. Call me crazy but when I'm outside in the heat I could swear i get subtle notes of mint on my skin.

Overall, F32 gives off the impression of a high-quality fragrance. As with Fahrenheit, there is no synthetic overload - just clear, crisp notes that meld well together. I love its simplicity. There is no mish mash of competing notes, no multiple personality disorder with a fresh fragrance turning super spicy on the skin.

Sillage and longevity are par for the course with Dior, which is far better than the average designer offerings.

What is that sour note that lurks within? Fahrenheit 32 was a disappointment. I was adamant to like it since the original and Dior Homme are great stuff, but 32 didn't make the grade. I hardly detect any orange blossom. Which is the spoil-sport - the vetiver or a sharp, synthetic vanilla? No redeeming notes to be found. What a pity. I haven't smelled it on others. Perhaps it's one of those that should be experienced on another. Thus, neutral.

Oriental woody fragrance for men. The noses behind this fragrance are Francis Demachy and Louise Turner. Good but I prefer Fhrenheit 0 degres.

They’ve screwed over Geir Ness with this one. The power of Norway will soon be no more…

The comparison to Fleur de Male must be made - both are heavy on vanilla and neroli in combination. But where the Gaultier is a balanced, original and cool release - Fahrenheit 32 just seems redundant and frankly, a bit cheap. On my skin I just can´t get by the feeling of a highly artificial product. Something created in a lab between washing powders and stain removing liquids. As for instance Comme Des Garcons has proved time and again, artificiality doesn´t need to be bad per se. But in Fahrenheit 32 there isn´t enough originality or other redeeming stuff going on to justify it. The vanilla and orange blossom smell awfully synthetic and the whole brew has a strength (nuclear!) and offensiveness that´s just a bit too much too handle.

It also shares that sharp "floral aggression" of Geir Ness and Tommy T, giving it a ridiculously clean feeling. The irony is, it´s so strong it comes across more like some kind of industrial strength cleaner for warehouses or something...

Nevertheless it is quite different from most of the stuff coming out today which in itself is worth some praise. But at the end of the day a definite thumbs down. Hardly worthy of sharing shelves with Eau Sauvage or even the original Fahrenheit for that matter.

i realy liked it,fresh and elegant not too feminin,if you get bored of spicy,woody,fruity get it its a new feeling so simple and long lasting

This i can truly call Fahreheit with a human face - a very deifferent scent compared to the initial Fahrenheit. Mostly, updated or lighter or summery versions of a clasic scent - the exceptions onkly confirm the rule- tend to be such a far cry from the original so that one of the few initial notes left are being brutalized and watered down in the worst way. But not in the case of this one. Tough it has a certain Hugo&Ck element of genericness in it, i'd rate it's genericness with style and balance, if it ever exists. All in all the composition is unpredictable and daring, with a note of playfull sensuality. A watermelon note is here provocative and delightfull, unlike the vile use of this note in AdG and Royal Water. Also, it stands out trough a solar, uncommonly beautiful combination of something that suggests both white flowers ( well, at least this is what i can detect ) and a certain clean laundry sort of freshness. And even if a masculine scent is apperantly the last place where to find such fragrance notes, yes it is masculine in a vibrant and constantly surprsing manner.

Inoffensive, but rather too floral and feminine for my liking.
This reminds me of something unremarkable by CK that I didn't buy.

Hmmm. Where do I start? I LOVE the original Fahrenheit, it is simply a classic. So when I saw this 32 version, I couldn't wait to try it. However, I was dissapointed. It immediately reminded me of Aramis Life, albeit much stronger and better formulated, meaning more depth and friendlier to the nose. Being that Christian Dior is a pretty reputable frag house, I thought for sure that this came out before Aramia Life, and Life is just a cheap copy. Wrong again. But at least it was done right, kinda like how Dune is in the spirit of Minotaure by Paloma Picasso. I tihnk I notice a trend here...or not.
I wonder what the other 3(!) versions where like and I hope this is it, 5 versions of a scent is enough, no?
Now Aramis Life is is slightly different shortly after the opening and somewhere in the middle, but other than that it is virtually identical. I am not getting rid of the Aramis for this, but this is well done. Dries down to a spicier/less sweet Baldessarini by Hugo Boss.

At first impression it slightly remainds me the original Fahrenheit, but with a new and more freshly tone.
I don't dislike it for the first 20-30 minutes. But the drydown is way too sweet, at least for my personal taste. I would like vanilla but not so plain.
I prefer "dark" fragrances, so this one is not for me

Not like the rest,its starts very refreshing and after a while a nice combination of a vetiver/vanilla mix appears.The longvity is incredible;its sweet but not feminine;if you dont like vetiver,or vanilla, its not a reason for not buying this one;its the combination thats unique.Whe have a winner here,thats for sure,I never liked the classic fahrenheit because of the fuel notes;like after working on my car.But Fahrenheit 32 makes me feel good;and thats the only reason to me for wearing scents;thats why I bought a big bottle after a period of trying this one.

OMG:wow
yes,floral,yes,vanilla..kind of fresh,but still an oriental fragrance. it's a very weird combination this one..i detect elements fromthe newly released jean paul gaultier fleur du male in the opening. it has a base very similar to gucci pour homme II and to Guerlain l'instant d'ete. good lasting power. a totally new fragrance among other dior masculines. a must have

this is my favorite floral scent
easy to wear and lasts long
not too feminine but also not too overly masculine and heavy
it has a bold and round character without being too complex and overpowering

Eventhough Fahrenheit is an almost legendary fragrance, I have come to think of it as a been-there-done-that kind of scent... But yesterday, a little intrigued by the opaline white Fahrenheit 32 bottle I tried the latest version out... It is light, and my first impression was definitely not WOW...the very delicate orange blossoms almost flies away and not like in many other orange scents such as Hermes Orange Verte knocks you off your feet, and then fades away...this scent sort of regains its strength by developing a very subtle and harmonized and skin close scent... I don't detect much of the vetiver, but the vanilla is intimate without being cloying. This smells much like something to be worn after beach as a refresher or a late afternoon fragrance in a very hot climate. The closest comparison to this scent that I have tried before would be Jill Sander's Sun Men, but in the latter case without Fahrenheit 32 orange tone. Overall a quite pleasant experience, but not entirely swept of my feet...

SIMPLE CLEAN AND NICE!

Southern Spain is one of the places where you have the opportunity to smell Oranges Trees in blossom -Azahar- every spring, as you walk down the street the scent fills the air; it's an awesome smell that I really love. That's why I get excited every time a new perfume containing Orange Blossom comes out... but then I smell it and unfortunately the excitement ends. I've never found a perfume capable of emulate the wonderful scent of 'Azahar'. This one is not different, which makes me kind of sad for I really like the original Fahrenheit.
Besides, I won't say this is a masculine fragance, not at all. The Azahar scent is too feminine for me... there's a hidden dark basenote (maybe vanilla?) that wants to be kind of strong though, but it won't go out...

If you already tried Fleur du male and you got dissapointed beacuse of the powdery drydown, and you´re seeking for a Neroli fragrance, check out this one:
Very balsamic herbal and plenty of petitgrain, but in a medicinal way.
Nice drydown. Complex, obscure, balsamic, excellent sillage. In the same way of L'eau Bleue, odd but very appealing!.
Worth a try :)
