What does Fahrenheit Parfum smell like?

It opens fresh with Sicilian mandarin orange, lemon and lavender, while pink pepper adds a light spice. In the heart, violet leaf and leather come forward. The base builds a woody, smoky foundation of gaiac wood, birch, vetiver and cedarwood, which amber, benzoin and vanilla sweeten and soften.

Both longevity and sillage are rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with evening and night out leading the occasions, and summer rarely chosen. Most see it as masculine and classic. Nerosa and Esteban Cuir have a close profile.
