Notorious

How We Score

AI Verdict

Notorious by Pendora Scents is a competent interpretation of Fahrenheit's iconic petrol-leather-violet signature. The opening mandarin and violet leaf accord reads similarly, though Notorious skews slightly sweeter and less austere than the original's dry, almost gasoline-like character. The leather-vetiver base is present but softer and less animalic. Being an EDP, projection and longevity often exceed the original EDT, though the drydown lacks Fahrenheit's distinctive cool earthiness. At $15–$40, it delivers roughly 70–75% of the Dior experience at a fraction of the cost, making it an excellent budget alternative for those who admire the DNA without committing to designer pricing.

Fragrance Notes

Notorious vs Fahrenheit: The Notes

Put the two pyramids side by side and Notorious covers roughly 100% of Fahrenheit: 13 of 13 notes match. The common ground is Hawthorn, Mandarin, Violet Leaf and Nutmeg, which carries the recognisable core of the scent.

The pyramids are near-identical on paper. Real-world differences come down to ingredient quality, concentration, and performance rather than composition. Published pyramids are a starting point — the AI verdict below weighs how these translate on skin.
