Fahrenheit 32

The Dior Fahrenheit 32 Review

When a fragrance achieves the kind of ubiquity that Fahrenheit 32 has, cynicism is the easy response. The harder — and more honest — question is: why? What is it about this EDT from Dior that has made it a fixture in so many wardrobes across continents? Released in 2007, Fahrenheit 32 built its following on Vanilla, White Floral, Woody, Sweet, Citrus, and years on, it has not lost a step.

A masterfully strange, 'frozen vanilla' combined with prominent, clean orange blossom and earthy vetiver.

Fahrenheit 32 Notes Breakdown

Fahrenheit 32 opens with Orange Blossom — an assertive first impression that carries across a room. Once that burns off, usually inside the first half hour, the heart turns to Vetiver. What lingers on skin and clothing hours later is the base: Vanilla.

Strip it back to the bones and the profile reads Vanilla, White Floral, Woody, Sweet, Citrus — easy to place and easy to wear.
