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.

Application Tips
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.

The story behind the bottle.
The heat of an ancient temple in the heart of a dense jungle, where incense and smoldering coals mix with the earthy scent of the forest.
