Customer Reviews of Fahrenheit Absolute by Christian Dior Intense Eau-de-toilette Spray for Men, 3.40-Ounce
Customer Review: Intense but not lasting.
Summary: 3 Stars
The good:
1) It has loud first notes & initial impression mildly resembles the original Christian Dior (CD) Fahrenheit. Fortunately it's not as loud as EDTs used in the Middle East though. Lol.
2) Heart notes are sophisticated. It's an elegant mix of leather, oud, wood & smoke. It's very dark & intense. Very masculine, very bully. Lol.
3) The base notes are very sweet & woody. It's in these notes that they are so different in presentation from the original CD Fahrenheit. Smells very church like with myrrh and frankincense elements being so obvious.
4) Sillage is consistent for the first few hrs.
5) Ideal for evening wear.
The bad:
1) Expensive. Almost costs half more than CD Fahrenheit EDT.
2) Does not even last more than 8 hrs. The original CD Fahrenheit lasts much longer than this. Hence lacks value for money.
3) Can be very loud if used in summer.
Conclusion:
I keep changing EDTs every now & then. I've tried Jaipur by Boucheron, L'eau D'issey by Issey Miyake, Obsession by Calvin Klein etc to name a few. The one brand of EDT that I keep coming back to, every time, is Lapidus by Ted Lapidus. It's timeless, enigmatic & sophisticated. It's my all time favorite EDT & the most value for money EDT I've ever used. It's unbelievably priced at USD20 on Amazon. Yes, U read that right. Lol.
This year I wanted to try something new. I never really liked the original CD Fahrenheit. When I first saw the CD Fahrenheit Absolute (FA), I assumed it will be a more stronger / intense version of the original. I was so wrong, I really liked the Fahrenheit Absolute when I tried it at a super mall.
After using CD FA for a couple of weeks, I must admit that I regret spending close to USD90 on this EDT. It barely lasts 8 hrs. For the money paid, I'd expect it to at least last a lil' more longer than this. Even the original CD Fahrenheit lasts much longer than this. I have tried / used them both, side by side, to test this. Lapidus by Ted Lapidus which costs barely USD20, lasts more than 24 hrs. U can smell Lapidus on U'r clothes even after a month. Lol. I do not think I'd buy this EDT ever again. It's a great EDT but it's just not even worth half the listed price. Yawn!
EDTs are a matter of personal choice & taste. One man's good is another man's bad. Buy'em only after U try'em.
Just my $0.02.
Brgds.
