I’m so happy listening to you talk about vintage perfumes. I’ve not bought too many vintage bottles on line but have come across many in second hand stores, estate sales, and even came across a hair salon that had just reopened after 25 years when the owner, an avid perfume collector and someone who sold perfumes in his salon had locked his shop up and left town. He recently passed away and his daughter inherit d the shop. She opened it up and put a picture of the perfumes for sale on one of those websites for used goods. I went immediately and bought about 7 bottles and had plans to return. Upon return, a week later, she had sold almost everything. I wish you were here then…if I encounter this again, I’ll reach out to you. Happy New Year to you!!
Nice! I have a vintage bottle of Crabtree & Evelyn Extract Of Mysore which is my benchmark Mysore sandalwood fragrance that I compare others to. To my nose, The sandalwood in Sandalo smells extremely authentic and behaves similar to the sandalwood in Crabtree. Awesome score on that vintage Fahrenheit too mate! I have a few 1997 bottles. Within a year of owning, I went from being confused and slightly repulsed by it to thinking it’s possibly one of the 10 greatest men’s fragrances ever made. Truly niche and unique. My only contention is the name, color of the bottle and branding. After getting to know it, i find it to be an overwhelmingly green fragrance, nothing red or fiery about it. I did landscaping when I was younger and to my nose this smells Like fresh, wet cut grass stuck to a lawnmower that smells of oil and gasoline. It’s a magnificent work of art.
Rich, just subscribed. Love the channel. I live in the great Keystone State of Pennsylvania. Lovely winter we’re having. Thanks for the wonderful fragrance content!
Welcome friend! I hope you enjoy my videos. Pennsylvania is an interesting place, I happen to know the first piano in America was built in pennsylvania in 1775! I have no idea how or why I know that but I thought I'd say 😂
Indeed! Funny you know that. Lots of rich history in PA. The cradle of independence! I enjoy your videos immensely. Looking forward to the next stream with you and Eugene!
So excited to see you with a vintage formulation of Fahrenheit. I wore this alot when it was first released in 1989. It was my equivalent to a young man's Sauvage today. That may be blasphemous to say but it was the case 30 plus years ago. Congrats and enjoy.
I'm very happy to have it. I'm enjoying it greatly so far. I understand totally what you mean with the sauvage comparison, not the scent but the effect it had on you
Same here, got it on release and yes it was the 'Sauvage' of it's day. When it came out it was so different it was like going in to hyperdrive away from all the Paco Rabanne and Armani PH wearers. Great scent.
@@LEgoiste Yes indeed. It was such a departure from what was being released at that time or even a little bit before. Will it be crazy or possible that Sauvage in 30 plus years may have someone saying "they don't make em like this"?
hello there i did find a fahrenheit sample in a street market in Paris with serial nr 5F324 and i think its from 1995 based on my research ...but the smell its strong in the bottle but on the skin opens a bit vinegary and becomes bitter and woody it goes away in 30 40 min i think its do to ageing...the only way to find out how this realy smelled in that days its to go to the Osmotheque de Versailles they keep everything there in good conditions
It is a 1995 mini you have. Sounds like your Mini was badly stored. I have hundreds of vintage fragrances that are smelling in perfect condition, it depends how they are stored. I have heard of osmotheque and it sounds interesting but it is not the only way 🙏
hi I'm crazy about Fahrenheit it's one of my top 2 favorite perfumes this model that you present must be great it must provide a feeling of memories it's really an incredible perfume
@@RichMitch hi and thank you for your answer yes two of the best perfumes in the world but I told you that I have a Balenciaga model for men from the laboratory which dates from 2023 it was Gérard Anthony who made it himself and the gave it as a gift and I think it smells better than the different vintage models it is fresh folds more natural
@@abdoumhp7728 you did say that, i saw it in your video! Are you going to make more videos? I can't comment on your video as you have set it as "made for kids" but I have subscribed! Why did Gerard Anthony make a new batch? Is he going to release it again soon?
New subscriber, I really enjoy your videos as I have similar tastes and own many of your collection vintage and new. I recently picked up two vintage Fahrenheit's a 200 ml classic from the 1990's and a 100 ml Fahrenheit absolute.
Welcome Mr. Schmidt! Thank you for subbing, I hope you will enjoy my videos going forwards too. Have you read the Raiders Of The Lost Scent article on how to date the bottles? They've got other articles on how to date Chanel perfumes etc, brilliant resource for people who collect vintages like us 🙏🏻
I have an early 2000's bottle of Fahrenheit and a newer version. I know I'm in the minority but I prefer the new one a bit more. Two great pick ups you have there for sure.
I've got the latest one and it's not bad, you can tell there's some exquisite material in the vintage that makes it smell like straight up gasoline! Some were not a fan of that. Cheers man
I wouldn't worry about anything I'd say your correct with your research. Who knows with the sprayer it could have just been discolored over time or the plastics just weren't 100% color match when they bottled it 🤷♂️ That sandalo was a good pick up for the price for sure.
@@RichMitch one thing I don't know is when they started producing 200ml bottles of it, that would be interesting to know my vintage 200ml is from like 03 or 04 and I love it.
hi I don't know if you are an expert in Fahrenheit models but I have just found a 10ml Fahrenheit model at home and I realize that the batch code tells me that it is from 1987 whereas this perfume is released in 1988 and even better the address on the packaging is 33 avenue Hoche, while normally this address is the one written on the packaging after 1991 in any case the smell of the juice is incredible and it is perhaps 10ml of 'a very first vintage of this model
Rich, I got what I think is a vintage Fahrenheit (batch 4A01 with the curvy cap) so it should be a 2004 bottle.. im not certain of the autenticity of it due the the performance of it.. bottle is 200ml 85-90% FULL, but the longevity and projection are super weak... what is your performance experience on you Fahrenheit?
It shouldn't be super weak regardless of age. There was a reformulation around that time and it was a very poor one compared to what went before. You can get 5 digit batch code versions at relatively good prices still so I'd be looking to get one of those versions if at all possible
@@RichMitch your answer is what I was feeling, its damn flat going to a soap smell within 5 minutes.. as you've said of an Ebay purchase "if it's got to go back, so be it" I've started the return process...judging your response when you 1st sprayed yours, I felt I got bunked, my response was" where the fuck is all the punch and power everyone speaks of?"
Vintage F. This stuff is a masterpiece. The lavender tonka note is very underrated in the vintage. Smells like a violet lavender milkshake. Its not as 'parking garage' as everyone makes it out to be.
It's true. When I was a martial arts instructor, boob kicking was a legitimate concern. Apparently it hurts more than people think. May a non-denominational diety of your choice bless vintage Fahrenheit.🔥

Vintage Fahrenheit 🤤 My vintage is also a 5 digit batch code and also 33 avenue Hoche...
One of the greatest fragrances of all time 🐏🦆🥂
Absolutely, it's certainly got age. I'd like to know if anyone knows for certain what age it is though
Do they go bad?? I want to buy one and is sealed 600

I'm very interested to get some opinions on it from other people with vintages. How do you know they're 97 bottles?
Congrats Rich! So lucky u did find 200 ml ,its so hard to find and the bottle looks legit to me as seller of vintage.
Thanks Imad. I am very lucky to have it
Absolutely correct. That is a 1992 bottle. I have a 88 bottle and a 96 and you are spot on 👍

Are you in Britain? I'll send you some if you are
I would love to see a farenheit comparison ritch. I have a early 2000s bottle but I'm interested in picking up a 90s if it's worth it
I'm interested in doing the comparison, it will be there in time
Enjoyed the unboxing, excellent information on how to date the Diors. I don't have much business in vintage, but I love to support you 💛
Thank you lilah, I appreciate it ❤

Good taste, I bet he had the vintage too 🕺

Absolutely amazing
