Renheit Parfum

Scent Breakdown

Renheit Parfum aims squarely at Dior's Fahrenheit Le Parfum, and it gets respectably close. The opening is a bold blast of suede and licorice, not quite as refined as the Dior – you can detect a slight synthetic sharpness. The mandarin adds a nice sweetness, however. The heart develops with violet leaf and a boozy rum note that's the most convincing part of the fragrance. Coriander is present but subtle. The drydown leans heavily on bourbon vanilla. It lacks the smooth, almost oily leather quality of the original; instead, it's a sweeter, more gourmand take. I'd say it's about 90% similar overall. I get a solid 6-7 hours on skin with moderate projection for the first two hours. It settles into a nice scent bubble thereafter. Considering the price, this is more than acceptable. Don't expect beast mode, but expect to be noticed.

Conclusion

Renheit Parfum is a no-brainer if you like Fahrenheit Le Parfum's DNA. It's not a perfect match – the Dior is smoother, richer, and more nuanced. It's ideal for those who enjoy sweeter, boozier fragrances. If you demand ultra-high quality ingredients, stick to Dior. If you want a great approximation on a budget, look no further.
