About this deal
It is a bit harsh in the opening, but it develops gradually over time to become wonderful boozy vanillic leather. Granted, Fahrenheit Parfum is several years old at this point, but still has a mindset from even longer ago.
There is a sharpness if we bury our noses in it, it's there on my skin, and it could be iso e super--it smells similar to my decant of diluted iso e super. Full disclosure, I am very rarely a fan of powdery notes in anything, so you may have a better experience with it if you are. The mandarin is a sweet citrusy touch during the opening, and the vanilla boosts its presence towards the dry down. Even if you can't stand the original, I'd say that this is still worth a go, it's that good, at least to me anyway.Most importantly, I made sure not to smell it too close off the skin directly but try to get a more holistic idea of what is going on in the air.
The now fully develop suede introduces an intense, very aromatic, dry, musky, white leather-like accord. I can say with certainty this is not the OG fahrenheit - it's as if the EdT had a reunion with his father.
While I was hoping to get a little bit of that DNA here, I am still not disappointed with the smell! I blind bought this and didn't like it at 1st smells a lot like Ysl nuit de l'homme edp with a leathery smells.
