Dior 1988 EDT
Fahrenheit
by Jean-Louis Sieuzac , Michel Almairac , Maurice Roger
Dior Fahrenheit is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1988, created by Jean-Louis Sieuzac, Michel Almairac, and Maurice Roger. Fahrenheit opens with Hawthorn, Bergamot, Lemon, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Sandalwood, Jasmine, Violet Leaf, and Lily of the Valley, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, Amber, and Vetiver. Dior's Fahrenheit carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.
A striking masculine icon, Fahrenheit fuses gasoline-and-violet freshness with bold, leathery warmth for an unforgettable signature. It is complex, enigmatic, and eternally modern-one of perfumery’s great statements.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
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.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
Fahrenheit's leathery warmth and aromatic-woody backbone excel in crisp air, making it ideal for fall and spring, while its intensity can cut through cool winter days. Its bold and spicy facets can feel heavy in summer, but work in the evening or milder climates.
Best Occasions
Its bold and assertive leather-ozonic character makes Fahrenheit too commanding for the gym or very close quarters but perfect for formal events, stylish evenings, or making an impression on dates. Not the safest for offices, but it works for confident casual wear.
