Dior Fahrenheit, launched in 1988, broke the rules of men’s perfumery with an audacious blend of luminous violet leaf and a distinctive leather accord. Guided by Parfums Christian Dior president Maurice Roger and composed by Jean Louis Sieuzac and Michel Almairac, it moved beyond the era’s predictable woody classics to create a modern contrast of strength and tenderness. Dior presents Fahrenheit Eau de Toilette as a timeless house icon that opens with bright citrus, unfolds into violet and leather, and settles over elegant woods for a powerful, lingering trail. Made for the man who charts his own course, it remains a revolutionary and enduring signature.
