Dior Addict Eau de Parfum by Dior

Captivating aroma, an olfactory jewel, it’s in my top 3. I used it a lot; it’s powerful and overwhelming, for people with character. As you walk, you exude that exotic, narcotic vanilla. A unique, sexy, and bewitching perfume. Everyone asked what it was and asked me to repeat, but I only bought the small bottle; with a little, you last a long time.

I have to admit I only tried it once. On my skin, it opens citrusy and fresh, but after 30 seconds, the tonka bean rises up and usually kills any other note. This scent dominates everything, although a very weak floral base is noticeable. I’ve heard it on others and it works better, but it’s not for my skin, where the tonka smells like dirty socks, quite unappealing. It feels like a feminine battle perfume for cold nights: you put it on and know exactly what you’re getting. Pleasant: 4/10 Interesting: 2/10 Versatile: 5/10 Original: 5/10

In my case, it’s nothing of the sort; a heap of indistinct white florals with a few green stems. It’s a very ‘eh’ scent; sometimes it gave me a funereal sensation… It’s a definite no, plus it lasts only 1-2 hours on very soft skin.

Horrible, I bought it with great hope. Brutal trail, brutal longevity. The initial scent is super spiced, like a closed spice cupboard 400 years old. After a while, it smells like a lady’s wrist with a cloth of spices.

I love Christian Dior and all their perfumes, but I can’t say the same about this one; I was greatly disappointed. Disgusting aroma, it reminds me of cemetery flowers. It’s unbearable; I simply won’t tolerate it.

What a sad story with this perfume. I first smelled it about 10 or 12 years ago and fell in love at first sight. Back then, as a student, freshly graduated, with my first job and dreaming of a house and a car, it was expensive and headed my wishlist for years, waiting to buy it without failing at something more important first. Now I have it, the reformulated version; what have they done with my old love? It’s sad I never got the original; what I have now isn’t the same, it’s more diluted and bland. It smells nice, but it’s so fleeting, almost skin-scent only. I keep it and wear it often, about 8 sprays to feel it, just to console my conscience; waiting didn’t work, so it serves as a lesson for many other cases. It’s a white floral, vanillaised, with a citrus touch, drying sweet and soft, and it’s not worth the price anymore. What a pity.

I didn’t like it; it has a vintage aroma that doesn’t suit me, like the first Opium or Shalimar by Guerlain. I also didn’t find it very heavy or long-lasting, so I wouldn’t buy it.

Incredible scent. Dior rarely disappoints me. To me, it smells very much of jasmine, repeat, the scent is irrepeatable, very majestic. Beautiful bottle, simple but with personality. A scent I believe won’t go out of fashion for many years. Thank you, Dior.

The blend of tonka and vanilla is delicious. If you add the quality reflected in the longevity and the trail… ❤️

It’s a very rich perfume, I like to wear it from time to time but it’s not my personal scent. The good thing is that it fixes a lot; the scent lasts hours and hours and even on clothes after washing.

Intoxikatingly toxic, addictive and sensual. An exquisite smoky vanilla wraps everything in a beastly longevity that transports you to a mystical orient. One of my absolute favourites, super unisex. It evokes a distant temple with thousands of sweet and spiced incense sticks. It had to be from Dior, with all its weight and legacy.

Excellent perfume; the vanilla is very noticeable and it lasts for ages, sticking to the skin and clothes for hours. I smelled the original Addict and honestly prefer this one; it’s super rich and worth the price. Mine has finished and I’ll buy another as soon as I can.

A proper perfume; I love it. The night-blooming cereus and vanilla make a sublime combination. It lasts for hours and hours, it’s sensual and addictive. For women with personality and self-confidence.

Night-blooming cereus and vanilla wonderfully cushioned in tonka bean. Absolutely unisex in my opinion. On me, the longevity and projection are beastly. I understand they have reformulated it; I hope it maintains these qualities. I haven’t smelled a night-blooming cereus as prominent in any other perfume as in this one. Every time I use it, I close my eyes and immerse myself in a warm summer night in the park at my home when I had that plant and its flowers were intoxicating every night… a pleasure of memories. Luckily I still have my bottle almost full from the 2012 version.
