Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
I only notice that Levantine citrus opening; otherwise it smells just like the EDT, super manly and lasts 7–9 hours. Recommended for temperate or warm climates, it’s a mature cologne.
I only notice that Levantine citrus touch at first, but afterwards it smells exactly like the EDT: super masculine and lasts a good while (7-9 hours). Ideal for warm or mild days, a mature cologne that delivers.
What a fragrance, it’s citrusy and characterful. I find it very versatile: it has the essence of the original Fahrenheit but with more pronounced citrus notes. Ideal for spring and summer, it goes from informal to semi-formal. The only downside is longevity: it projects well for two hours, then becomes a personal bubble and lasts a maximum of 5 hours on the skin, which I enjoy immensely. I wear it to work, casually, and on holiday; it fits everywhere and no one will smell like you.

It feels like a scam to charge 60 euros or more for an eau de cologne that’s not worth anything.
It feels like a complete rip-off: who pays 60 euros or more for a cologne that’s not worth a thing?
Honestly, I don’t recommend it due to its performance and poor value for money. Better to go for the classic or another perfume from a different house. For example, 100 ml of this costs the same as a Dior Homme and isn’t worth it at all. I hope I haven’t offended anyone.
The Fahrenheit Cologne is perhaps the flanker most similar to the EDT (more so than the Absolute, the 32 or the Parfum), but in one of those dubious reformulations. The scent lacks presence and the performance is mediocre, even though I applied it heavily. At first, you sense the classic DNA but it lasts seconds; afterwards, the classic imprint disappears and it becomes abrupt, extremely citrusy between tangerine, bergamot and lemon. Rarely do the top notes settle (about 40 minutes). Then it transforms into a dark phase that doesn’t know what identity to take, lasting an hour. It’s a perfume that evolves in blocks, making it hard to distinguish the notes except at the end. You notice the citrus at the start, then the characteristic violet, later nutmeg and caraway. The patchouli and vetiver are very discreet in the base. The cedar softens amidst so many oriental notes. It gives the impression of a softened Fahrenheit EDT that doesn’t know what it wants. It’s not for summer: too dark for day and summer, and too short for winter and night. At first I rejected it for that citrus vibe, but when the majesty of the EDT emerged I couldn’t help but surrender, albeit with reservations due to the lack of personality and mediocre performance. Being optimistic, it’s a Fahrenheit to introduce you to the EDT and other flankers (except the 32 which has nothing to do with it); it’s for beginners who fear the EDT. Pass with a scratch. Scent: top and early heart 4/10, late heart and base 6/10. Sillage 5/10. Longevity 5.50. Versatility 4.50.

Good scent; it’s a fragmented Fahrenheit that reminds me a lot of the classic at least in the heart. To clarify: they fragmented the classic by keeping the least attractive and interesting part of the EDT removing the top longevity sillage and making it linear. Thus was born Fahrenheit Cologne a disappointment. It’s not bad at all if you don’t compare it to the original. I don’t know why or who came up with this variant which is a failure at least from my point of view.
Aqua Fahrenheit smells very nice (I love the scent) although the performance is poor lasting at most 4-5 hours. I think the Fahrenheit Cologne is almost the same though even more discreet so you shouldn’t have many expectations with this product.
