Fahrenheit 32, from Dior was released in 2007. The perfumer behind this creation is François Demachy and Louise Turner. It has the top notes of Orange Blossom, middle notes of Vetiver, and base notes of Vanilla.
Of all the various Fahrenheit incarnations I kind of had it in my head I wouldn't like this one Because the bottle is white? Nah... not really. Maybe it's because I felt Dior had gone a little far in stretching the fahrenheit brand. It was too much of a departure or dumbing down of what is a powerful and provocative fragrance which you either love or hate and shouldn't be tweaked to appeal to the masses. However, just as with the aqua version it retains enough of the characteristics of the glorious original and puts a nice new spin on it. It's very nice, floral quite vanilla but still has those violet and vetiver notes in there and is arguably more wearable than the original. Not for me personally though...I find the vanilla a touch too feminine. Despite this positive review I'm not rushing out to get myself a bottle either, just glad they didn't ruin an iconic scent. I'm excepting of the fact that Fahrenheit needs alternate versions as it does get a bit much after a while.
In hindsight in my review below I went far too easy on this fragrance first time around. This is my third wear and I've formed an opinion which is...Fahrenheit 32 is not to my taste at all. I still get the tiniest hint of powdery violet (am I going mad/wishful thinking this IS a Fahrenheit flanker?) at the back of this but 32 is mainly a cheap smelling vanilla and white blossom fragrance. It's not that particular combination of notes because at times it smells okay but more about the poor quality which lets it down. The apple has fallen far from the tree.
