The story behind the bottle.
In 2009, Dior introduced Fahrenheit Absolute as the bold successor to its original Fahrenheit fragrance. Created by François Demachy, this woody floral musk composition is darker and more intense than its predecessor, with a pronounced emphasis on violet intertwined with rich notes of myrrh, incense, and oud. The smoky and balsamic accords create an enveloping warmth that feels like stepping into a luxurious, smoldering fire. Its strong presence evokes the thrill of exploring distant lands where adventure is just around every corner.
Apply Fahrenheit Absolute sparingly to allow its rich layers to unfold. The violet and oud notes are particularly long-lasting, so you may find that it evolves throughout the day. It’s best suited for evenings or cooler weather when its warmth can be fully appreciated.

François Demachy
Dior's guardian of dreamsFrançois Demachy is the in-house perfumer-creator at Christian Dior, a title that places him among the most influential noses in the world. Born in Cannes and raised in Grasse — the historic capital of perfumery — he carries the craft in his blood.
“Early on, I memorised a whole host of notes without even realising it. I could recognise moss and flowers. My nose educated itself.”
