I adored this gentleman fragrance – extraordinary longevity (I should clarify that perfumes usually don’t last long on my skin); it lasts up to 24 hours on my skin. The top notes are quite bitter, but as they fade, the perfume softens and you detect the vanilla; it’s warm and extremely attractive to any man I’ve encountered. The problem is that it gives me a headache, not because it’s ‘strong’ but due to one of its ingredients (I’ve already detected it as it happened with others); I believe it’s Tonka Bean. If it didn’t cause this issue, it would undoubtedly be my personal fragrance; besides, it’s very exclusive and uncommon. Update: with the latest reformulation, it no longer gives me a headache, but the sillage has decreased noticeably – barely detectable close to the skin (previously it was felt at personal distance, approx. 60cm/1m). So while I still fall in love with it, the value of buying a Dior just so I can barely smell it isn’t justified.
I’m in love!!!! It’s the fragrance I was searching for; I can’t stop smelling it and it suits my skin perfectly. It’s different from everything I’ve tried, yet feels familiar.
When I had already resigned myself to never finding it again, an ad appeared on a Facebook swap group offering perfumes in exchange for anything… when I saw the gold tip I said: ‘It can’t be!’ The worst part is that my rivals for getting it offered used trainers and sandals, and the seller paid more attention to them than to me. I asked for the price; she said she didn’t know and preferred to swap it for some jeans or something similar, haha. I had to set the price myself… I offered $35 and she said yes… 100ml intact, beautiful, exactly the same scent I remembered… life’s twists are strange.
Finally I have it! After smelling it several times in perfumeries and falling in love, it’s an absolute delicacy – a sweet scent with such elegance that it’s not for any occasion: winter without time restrictions, autumn for afternoons and evenings, spring only for nights, and nothing in summer. That’s my opinion.
I entirely agree with Jessyibarra’s comment. I didn’t like it at all.
A fragrance custom-made for the night public square, for those bacchanalian electronic gatherings known as nightclubs, for the hustle of lust and the vertigo of trance. In spirit, it resembles Gucci Rush – plastic milky florals in a stupefying synthetic haze with patchouli or vanilla, specifically smoky bourbon vanilla reminiscent of my beloved Caron Tabac Blond, metamorphosed into a ‘chic racer’ sirena version with a long silver-screen cigarette holder, a Veronica Lake with orange bronzer and botoxed brows, photographed stumbling through L.A. Few people mention the fruity touch of Addict; my nose detects quite a bit of juicy blackberry joined to the supersonic purple of methyl anthranilate typical of white florals, plus a hint of cinnamon that adds to that exaggerated, déclassé, hedonistic runaway-on-amphetamines aesthetic within Lady Dior handbags. We live in an Era Vulgaris and Dior knows this in 2002: money and status are displayed proudly with Nouveau Riche acrylic, even the tubs and rosaries bear the logo, which is what matters. This is the Valley of the Dolls perfume, sin mixed with strawberry pop, Galliano’s ‘Film Noir’ collection with its comic-book take on the trench-coat dress covered in shiny plastic lamé and lips painted like a red-lipped bat. Despised by critics as a mercenary floral oriental, I’d trade several items from my collection for a gold-tip Addict because I’m utterly captivated by that vanilla-scented white flower explosion; compared to it, the reformulated versions are like seeing Warhol’s Marilyn Diptych in a single colour. It’s not the same – where is the contrast, where is the ‘pop’? I’ll keep using Addict and its three generations of reformulations and counter-reformulations for my Mariah Carey mood days when all I want is pink lipstick, dark glasses, a sulky expression, and to smell like siliconed Venus in Neon Eden.
Hello everyone on Fragrantica – I’m asking those who have tried it: I’ve read the reviews and it’s excellent to know it has good longevity and lasting sillage, but what impression does the perfume give you during the day? Thanks.
Perfection bottled as perfume. The two versions that preceded it have nothing to do with this piece of jewellery. What a pity the original formula hasn’t been preserved. My all-time favourite.
One of my favourite fragrances of all time.
It was the first Dior women’s fragrance I ever tried and it was simply brilliant – something queens and royalty should wear, for there is nothing quite like it. It smells like summer streets but with a lovely sweetness, like a girl with long hair and rosy cheeks radiating that wonderful scent; I fell in love instantly. It felt long-lasting, although I know the current version doesn’t last as long, which is a shame. White flowers, jasmine, and soft vanilla, very creamy – ideal for fresh and mild weather. It’s the opposite of Sauvage; Dior truly does wonders with this one, and also with the one that smells of… well, you know. When they want to, they can. Best wishes, friends.
A marvel, there’s no other way to describe it. I have the newer version and I love it, but having had the fortune to find this one, I feel the other lacks too much. This is one of the most delicious and exquisite vanillas in my collection. The opening feels very ‘green’; that is, it doesn’t smell like any particular white flower, but rather a collection of them, as if walking through a garden full of flowers and freshly watered plants, with a vanilla base (very pleasant, I love that composition). Once dried, it’s a supremely sweet and woody vanilla, due to the sandalwood and tonka bean, although it’s in no way gourmand or childish; it’s a perfume that smells of sophistication to me. Eternal longevity and beastly projection, a true perfumazo.
Spiced night nardos, fresh and green, with tobacco. It’s an exquisite aroma but I’m not sure I want to wear it. I remember it and miss it, but it’s difficult to use; perhaps it’s too intense. The scent is sexy, delicate yet also persistent at the same time, somewhat sharp. That ambivalence perhaps makes it sexy. It’s delicate but sharp as the edge of a knife. I have no doubt that when used well it’s a weapon; I still didn’t know how to wield it.
A beautiful vanilla, an oriental ambered flower that set a benchmark in perfumery. A very sexy fragrance, for the night; I don’t think it’s suitable for the day. Why is it for me? Because it’s a super warm fragrance. I consider it won’t suit all women, but I love feeling its scent in the air. It’s the loveliest association between sandalwood and vanilla, superbly dosed. An iconic fragrance in modern perfumery. Projection 10/10, trail 10/10. Scent: super feminine and sexy.
I can say it’s one of the few that brings together all the ingredients to be my perfect perfume. Unique.
A slightly nutty aura with a soft citrus touch. Although it contains no nuts, it has an enveloping aroma of dried fruit and sweetness from the tonka bean, which gives everything a dry, warm sweetness. It has many nuances oscillating between softened citrus and sweetness, creating a perfect harmony. One of those perfumes where people ask: ‘Excuse me, what are you wearing?’
I always thought perfumes were for personal enjoyment and to expand your authentic personality; nothing beats one you identify with or that suits your mood. Normally, all this ‘compliment’ talk, fragrances to attract people and so on, gives me the creeps. Sure, it’s great when people say you smell good, but that mindset in male reviews about ‘conquering’ or ‘dropping trousers’ makes me feel genuinely embarrassed. It’s true a good perfume amplifies your attractiveness if you’re already attractive, but it only works as the cherry on top of a cake that’s already appetising, as the saying goes: you can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear. All this is fine until you discover this perfume. Lately, I’ve been going all out for feminine scents since I already have the designer men’s one in hand. Walking along the shelf looking for something to catch my eye, my eyes landed on this. I knew it was a classic so I didn’t give it another thought. I took a tissue, sprayed it and held it to my nose… holy shit, I don’t know what this perfume did to my body but I suddenly felt the urge to fuck. I was alone, on a quiet, boring morning, but there it was, feeling myself getting hard as I smelled this damn perfumed tissue. And that’s not even a perfume I’d consider a delight aromatically; it simply makes me want to ram whoever smells it against the wall, impressive. I’m only speaking from my experience, but if magic exists, it’s in this bottle.
On my skin it smells super spiced with a vanilla base. I feel it’s a mature fragrance, one that dresses you up. It’s not for everyone. Try before you buy.
Very disappointed. Smells very vintage, lasts nothing and projects nothing.
I was gifted this and at first I found it heavy, cloying and very dated. The first few hours were awful. After four hours it became more bearable, but just as I was starting to like it, I had to shower or go to bed. It’s not my fragrance, although people have asked me about it several times because they like it. It varies greatly on my skin; I think it works better in very cold weather. Definitely not for me. I advise trying before buying.
A sweet floral perfume, quite soft, it even faded from blotting paper in five minutes. It seemed promising with so many reviews, unfortunately the house Dior spends its time reformulating perfumes… they destroy them.
Looking to make a statement? This is the perfume. It has attitude, it’s a brutal classic, super potent and impossible to ignore.
I kept three bottles I bought almost 20 years ago, back in 2005, and let me tell you, it was a magnificent evocative perfume of the most brazen sensuality with an air of absolute elegance. There are no adjectives to do it justice to that version from then: it was luxurious, splendid, magnificent and conceived with a rough character that left a radioactive trail filling rooms. It knew how to make itself noticed and much. It had a smoky vanilla scent with a touch of silky rose, a liquorous sandalwood that gave it that blessed orange blossom so delicious with a touch of exotic mandarin and a very oriental tonka bean. Everything was conceived for the most exquisite lust and bare passion. Let’s talk now about the current version… It’s a proper mess, a damn shame and a real offence. To this Dior glory they gave a good kicking with their malicious reforms that only worsen the image of the perfume. It’s a tragedy that a perfume we love, venerate and adore is discontinued and no longer available, but it’s a thousand times preferable that they die with honour and class than to revive them with painful reformulations that alter their original DNA to offer us with terrible quality and prices not worth paying. Almost six months ago at a family party, a cousin brought said scent and believe me, truly neither on her side, hugging her, nor even very close, did a trace of this fragrance reach me. It was then with sadness that I understood it had become another dead perfume in life that Dior destroyed completely in the most unforgivable way.
What a wonderful perfume! The evolution of its notes is marvellous. From the first spray begins the magic: the sweet-and-sour of the blackberry with the mandarin leaves pulls at the flowers that have a preponderant presence for hours, until the dry-down gives that delicious peace of a sweet, slightly aldehydic vanilla, nothing cloying or strident, a vanilla sweetened by sandalwood and tonka bean. This perfume is a true jewel, its trail is moderate and the longevity is at least 8 hours. A marvel of perfumery that earns with every drop the iconic place it holds.
SUBLIME, I LOVE IT!
I bought it on recommendation and wow, what a pleasant surprise! I never thought I would like a women’s perfume as much as to dare to wear it, especially because I usually use citrus, green, and aromatic scents, and rarely venture into woods and vanilla. How does Dior Addict smell? Imagine mixing vanilla, wood, talc, and white flowers. The result is an extremely elegant essence, be careful with the sprays because it can become intoxicating. The trail and longevity exceeded my expectations. I’ve read reviews about its reformulation, but in my case, the one I bought in 2024 has been a marvel.
It’s a delight, extremely sensual, the fixative is the best. Perfectly suitable for a romantic dinner night and to see what happens afterwards.
Wow, unbeatable, I loved it. It feels like a delight from a distance, one of those powerful and overwhelming scents. Sexy, its evolution is a spectacle. I adored this big perfume.
I wanted to like it at all costs, but it’s impossible… I love strong and striking perfumes, but there’s something about you that’s too heavy… definitely and against my will, NO…
A beautiful perfume, a vanilla that envelops an aldehydic rose, soft and silky, where the night-blooming flower makes its appearance leaving that creamy, sweet note without being cloying. It’s a beauty. It’s one of those perfumes to wear only on romantic occasions in cold weather, or at home with the chill on your shoulders and that warm, sweet sensation on the skin. A wonderful scent that, at least on me, continues to have great longevity.
What a pity it’s so expensive, because I truly love it. Although I can’t quite distinguish the individual notes, as a whole it smells of almond, thanks to that fabulous vanilla which reminds me of my Gloria by Cacharel and brings back memories. My husband didn’t like it; he said it smelled like a rich but generic deodorant, but tastes are like colours. At 34, the perfume has to please me, not others, hehe. I think it’s worth it; it’s a very wearable Gouardam scent. The only thing that doesn’t work for me is that it dries down too much towards sandalwood, but never mind, it definitely goes on my wishlist.
I have this gold-capped version almost full, but it hasn’t been used for about 15 years and has lost some potency, although it’s still good. It lasts on clothes but not on skin; I have a 2017 version and this one lasts more on skin, without great differences; both liquids are red. For me, it’s floral; the flowers are very well mixed so they aren’t distinguished; the vanilla is bourbon and more sandalwood than tonka bean. To make it more floral, I layer it with Mugler Aura Flora Futura to highlight the night-blooming cereus and make it a unique floral. Sincerely, any version is magnificent. I use many sprays of the 2017 version, but the 2002 has a mysterious touch and higher-quality vanilla; all the notes of the 2002 are finer and more natural, chosen with detail, while the 2017 has something generic and artificial. Both last 24 hours on clothes, 6 on skin, and trail about 1 metre for around 2 hours. The old ones are worth it if they are sealed in a box, because once opened, they lose notes and the aroma softens. Although I have vintage Poison bought second-hand, three bottles, and it’s a nuclear bomb that smells the whole house. Every time I see a vintage Christian Dior on eBay at a good price, I don’t hesitate to buy it because they are special perfumes for me.
I clearly feel the jasmine, but it’s overshadowed by something dark that I can’t distinguish, leaving a scent like cologne with a nutty fruit. It reminds me of the Kayali Pistachio Yum Gelato in one part; it stays creamy. It doesn’t seem annoying to me, but it’s a scent that doesn’t quite convince me. It seems like a winter perfume, or at most autumn; I wouldn’t use it in summer or spring; I think it wouldn’t feel its full potential.
It smells of excess; it’s dense, very sweet, synthetic, and even disrespectful; it crushes those near me. Every time I notice it, I run away because it gives me a brutal headache and sticks to my nose for hours without letting go. I don’t like it on myself or on anyone else; it’s like getting into a bathtub of thick custard. I don’t see flowers, barely fruits, just an avalanche of tetchy and sticky vanilla. It sounds pretentious and overwhelming, without class. Ugh, I can’t handle it; clearly, it’s not for me.
When I wear it, it conveys strength, elegance, and maturity; it gives me security. It’s not for summer or winter, nor day or night; it’s for remembering a special occasion. It says: ‘Here I am, take me or leave me, do what you want, but I command, I have the last word, I am the leader, and I have the power’. It has great class; it’s not for girls or young women without personality, because they won’t like it and won’t understand it. It’s only for women who want to be remembered, with courage, strength, distinction, elegance, and that touch of sensuality.
Wow, what vanilla. It opens with a bitter touch of mandarin leaf and something fruity, but little by little, a dark and deep vanilla emerges, almost gothic (nothing of incense, but gothic in time, mystery, sepia photos with people in suits and lost gazes). Something sweet that transcends, an ancient sweet that I imagine was once. It gives me a knot in my stomach and I can’t stop smelling my hand. I smell vanilla with blackberry; it’s not a cake or gourmand; it has something very addictive. I think it’s the night-blooming cereus; someone said it makes you want to make love (though they said it in another way 😅). To me, it makes me want to hug my partner in a dark room and not let go; then we’ll see 😄.
I find it very heavy. At first, I thought it was masculine due to the trail, but to my surprise, it turned out to be feminine. It smells very much of tonka bean and sandalwood; I don’t know if I tried an old bottle, because I barely sensed the vanilla scent, it was buried by the others. I couldn’t smell it much because I already felt it was going to give me a headache.
I see so many 2024 comments about this discontinued 2002 masterpiece that it gives the impression that some confuse the fragrance with the 2014 version (the one sold now). For this version, I’ll just say it’s a delicious white floral vanilla, a unique gem if you can find it. I like the 2014 version much, which is the modern and updated version. In my experience (I have both), the cold swallows the Addict 2014, but this 2002 version warms and accompanies, very well achieved (I used it at night at 0 degrees and it was very noticeable).
If I had to define Dior Addict in one word, it’s ‘seductive’. It’s elegant and forces you to wear it with class; it’s not for everything, but for magical moments. It’s robust, complex, and sensual, intense and enveloping, truly intoxicating. It combines a beautiful jasmine with creamy vanilla, tonka bean, and sandalwood. Upon application, there are waves of blackberry with citrus touches, then the jasmine, orange blossom, and night-blooming cereus (the stars of the formula) blend together, and finally, that glorious vanilla with its unmistakable sandalwood and hints of tonka bean. On skin, it lasts more than 12 hours; on clothes, it’s infinite. The trail is high and announces its presence with force. I’m talking about the 2002 formula, a classic with many loyal followers, and I am one of them. If you want to feel unique and devour the world, this is your perfume. Wish it would never die. The difference with the new versions is the strength, and in the current ones, that intense sandalwood is lost.
I adore it, although it can be a bit strong or heavy in humid and hot climates. I wear it at night to go out or in the afternoon when it’s cold. It feels serious, sophisticated, with a balance between masculine and feminine. When I go out, jasmine and wood predominate, along with the orange blossom that gives it that feminine touch, a bit fresh that I love. There’s also something quite sparkly that I feel like pepper. It lasts a long time on skin and clothes. I’ve received many compliments every time I wear it; it doesn’t go unnoticed and is a scent very few have experienced. It works very well with just a few sprays; it’s one of those where you can’t overdo it because it becomes overwhelming. I don’t think it’s something to buy blindly.
I was left wanting to use it again because my last bottle ran out, effectively closing my chapter with Addict. Although I’ve never been its biggest fan (I have other Dior scents I adore more), I admit that, as others say, it was a king of the night: imposing and demanding a special suit. Both the 2002 and 2012 versions were sweet, complex, and heavy. Do not buy it without trying it first (if you can still find a vintage bottle). It’s bourbon vanilla, white flowers, and sandalwood to give it body… and what a body! I’m not going to try to replace it with the 2014 version, which I find dull and sharp; I barely remember keeping the bottle because I have a habit of hoarding blue bottles.
