Dior Fahrenheit 0 Degree is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2003, created by Bertrand Duchaufour. Fahrenheit 0 Degree opens with Musk, Grapefruit, Patchouli, and Violet, settles into a heart of Leather, Mandarin, Sandalwood, and Freesia, and dries down to a base of Caraway, Amber, and Cedar. Dior's Fahrenheit 0 Degree carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

A truly divisive flanker of a classic; some hail it as a cleaner, brighter take on Fahrenheit, others dismiss it as a watered-down disappointment. It's either a revelation or a let-down, depending on what you're hoping for.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Summer

Brand and retailer listings place this in summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its initial citrus freshness makes it suitable for casual and even office wear, while the underlying leather and woody accords give it enough depth for dates, though without the strong sillage many associate with formal settings. Reviews indicating it's less intense than the original also suggest it's more versatile for everyday use.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Fahrenheit 0 Degree opens with a bright, zesty burst of grapefruit and mandarin, softened by the powdery caress of violet and a hint of spicy nutmeg. This fresh, citrusy introduction quickly mellows, giving way to the signature warmth of leather and sandalwood, grounding the fragrance with a sophisticated woodiness. The base unfolds with a subtle amber and cedar, offering a clean, understated finish that nods to its heritage.
