Dior
Fahrenheit EDT
“Vintage muscle car with leather seats — irreplaceable, slightly terrifying, deeply cool.”
The 1988 launch that broke the leather-violet category open — Jean-Louis Sieuzac's gasoline-petrol-tinged composition for Dior, a definitive 80s masculine. Lavender at the top, a violet heart, settling on a leather-vetiver drydown. A fall and winter evening fragrance.
