The original Fahrenheit is a revolutionary modern fragrance with top notes of Mandarin, a highly original violet accord & a warm Cedar, Patchouli & Leather drydown. A virile, delicate & rounded fragrance. All Mediterranean countries grow mandarin trees, but the best Mandarins are produced in Sicily. The different colors of Mandarin, yellow, green & red, correspond to the different stages of ripeness. Essence of mandarin is a citrus note, offering fragrances a fresh & fruity accent. Mandarin is the exotic top note of Fahrenheit. The leaves of the violet produce a unique & powerful fragrance with green, vegetable & ever so slightly flowery notes. The sensual violet is a surprising heart note in Fahrenheit. The Leather note was originally created to imitate the smell of the Russian Leather used to make hussars' boots. Their soft Leather was tanned using Birch Bark. Perfumers recreated these burnt, smoky, Birch, Styrax & Cade notes delivering an exotic, enchanting effect. It features as a base note in Fahrenheit.
