Addict To Life

So pretty and so refreshing. It reminds me of walking in the Persian Garden I went to in Yonkers, NY a few years go with its gurgling fountains, fruit trees and flowers blooming everywhere. The scent in the air was similar to this. The Rose is most prominent from the start and it is a lighter Rose. I think perhaps yellow. I also detect some rather astringent Lily of the Valley which adds zest to the bouquet. It calms down after a few minutes and is stunning. Then there is some Jasmine that is rich but still airy. The fruits are noticeable too. The Peach is wonderful and not at all murky like it can tend to be. The Raspberry is mildly sweet but not too much. The delicious Pomegranate note is what makes this unique. I personally love it in fragrances. Here it is not the star but it gives that modern vibe to an otherwise vintage feeling fragrance. Then there is some Musk which is just enough to balance the other notes. Addict to Life's sillage is moderate at first than in half an hour it is light. It also has moderate staying power. I agree that this probably is best as a morning scent to brighten up your mood. It reminds me of Guerlain's Aqua Allegoria line. 9/10

It's funny how so many rose-dominated perfumes can smell so different from each other. There's Vera Wang's Truly Pink and L'eau D'Issey Florale, which both smell like burying your nose in a bouquet of roses. Then there's David Yurman Delicate Essence and Bvlgari Rose Essentielle, which are both light, watery roses. There's Givenchy Very Irreseistible, which starts out as a soapy rose and then settles down into a creamy, musky rose and then there is this, which reminds me of roses mixed with tea leaves. Interesting to me that there is no tea note. This is a lovely springtime scent, and the projection and longevity are both great. I just have a mini bottle that I got in a sampler kit and there is no sprayer attached, so I have to dab this one, and with 6 dabs I felt like it was filling up the whole room :)

I sampled this yesterday and instantly liked it a lot. After drydown I frankly started to love it. The musk is a white musk and it is soft and gentle. the fruits to my nose arent burstingly ripe and sweet more just there, like the taste of a peach rather than the smell.. The florals are gentle and clean.Also the fragrance reminded me of high end cosmetics, a bit like Dior mascaras, I really liked it, maybe it is the sandalwood. I found this to be a masterful balance or beautiful delicate components and the fragrance lasted very well on my wrist from 3pm till 10 when I showered.

White floral dominant, underlying fruity notes, I also get a very dominant powdery note with it, but not in a baby powder way, it's way more sophisticated than that. Feminine but with a girlish flair, as soft as a whisper right from the first spray. As it dries down, I begin to get more sweet, fruity notes. This is just so wonderful! My mother, who is not very fond of perfumes as most scents seem to give her a headache, has complimented this one! I'm thinking about getting a 100ml bottle but this I think is a bit too soft to go with my personality lol

I love this scent. It's fresh flowers cut right from the garden. There may be just the slightest hint of fruit, but this is predominately a floral scent filled with rich rose, and lily of the valley, and sweet jasmine. The mixture is exquisite! This is one of those perfumes that you will either love or hate. It is very unique, and the sillage is quite strong, especially for an EDT. You will definately make a statement when you enter a room, as well as be remembered when you leave that room.

I'm surprised with the comments below, I disagree completely. Dior addict to life is unique and unforgettable in my opinion, and i'm totally in love with its clean, fresh and fruity notes. After a while its a little soapy, like just-out-of-bath, but with an elegant tone!! One of my favorites now!

This perfume has a lovely floral scent. I absolutely love it. My favorite perfume, ever! Perfect choice for when you're going out with your friends! I got it for Christmas and I can tell you its very expensive but worth it! The campaign pictures are lovely. Purple suits Karlie well. 10/10.

Love Dior and this is my 2nd favourite! It is really nice can be strong to start out but it has so many different tones as it settles it is a real sophisticated smell I think I cant see a youngin choosing this. love it

Dior Addict to Life is a young, light, feminine rose scent. Beautiful blooming rose, sweet jasmine, and soft lilac with a dry down to a soft white musk. Addict to Life is a bouquet of fresh roses. Gorgeous fragrance!

If you want something refreshing for spring, than this might be a good option. This rose fruity fragrance is refreshing, great great rose aroma

I adore rose fragrances , this one has an interesting scent. This rose floral combination is great.

I really think the most apparent note is Lilac...? I like it!

Absolutely a keeper for me. Yummy

Dior Addict to Life is a pretty, feminine fragance. I have to admit that at first it was SUPER strong, but it really toned down nicely within minutes. While the rose is prominent, it isn't heavy or powdery. I can also detect a tiny bit of lilac, even though it isn't listed as one of the notes on this site. Honestly, I don't know if I would have recognized the note as lilac without the help of the reviews below, but since it was pointed out, yes, I can definitely get a hint of it (which I really like). Definitely musky. Overall, Addict to Life retains a lightness that is impressive since the lasting power is good (so far-4 hr and going strong!). So far I find it an enjoyable, spring-appropriate scent that will be good for day wear.

I was very curious to sample this because notes sounded so fabulous(especially top notes). As soon as I sprayed it however, I immediately thought"I've smelled it before" and it didn't take me long to figure this out. It smells VERY simular to Omnia Amethyste which I tried before. Just to make sure I wasn't losing my mind, I tried Omnia Amethyste on my other hand-while its not identical, its very close. I don't get any top fruity notes at all-its light delicate floral, all about rose and lily of the valley, and just like Omnia Amethyste, it doesn't project well, has no silliage and no lasting power(within 40 min I couldn't even smell it). Its a nice scent but not anything different from many other fragrances.

This wasn't at all what I expected but looking at the description "a fragrance that focuses on sparkling and intense rose" - that's exactly what it is. I think rose lovers will love this. An elegant, bright, sparkling rose. I don't get any fruity notes and if they are there they are so fleeting they're undetectable to my nose. Quite linear for about 4 hours then a soft musk joins the rose. It has all the expected quality of a Dior perfume and reminds me of Dior Forever and Ever, not the same but in style. Not for me - too pure maybe - but beautiful all the same. Longevity and sillage are quite amazing for an EDT!

This isn't something that I love. I like this perfume. However, nothing stands out about it. On me, the scent is clean, light, fresh, and a little sweet. It doesn't last long and is a great scent to wear if you work in an office environment and don't want to offend others. A few of the girls at work really love this fragrance on me. While it's not my favorite, it's my go-to perfume for work or just a lazy Sunday at home. I find myself reaching for this on the mornings I just don't know what to wear. It doesn't evoke a mood or attitude. This is definitely a spring/summer, day time scent.

YES, as most people mention in here, I think it is easily forgettable, but I still like it, why? it is a fragrance that you can use it daily- starts with intensely floral then - at least on my skin- it becomes soapy and powdery- a clean and sweet smell, which I like for my every day- daily wear. The bottle with its purple color is attractive and the department store had a special sale with dior brand and I said ' why not go with it? ' If you like little bit sweet, soapy and powdery smells, go with it, you ll like it.

This is a very nice, pretty, fresh scent...definitely no similarities to the original Addict fragrance (which I would describe as intensely dark, spicy and rich). Addict to Life is crisp and not overly sweet. Mostly floral but I do get the sense of some crisp fruits in there as well. I would say it's along the same lines as the DKNY Be Delicious series, particularly the Fresh Blossom edition. It's nice, but not anything terribly different that I would feel the need to add to my collection.

Addict To Life is a lovely, fresh, grown up summer fragrance. I'm really loving the rose and lily of the valley combo that dominate here. Although this is clearly an Addict flanker, I can find no similarity between the original and this floral beauty. I actually prefer AtL to Addict. Its much more wearable and less in your face. Perfect for summer. I'm going to a garden party next weekend and Addict To Life will be my +1.

This perfume should called a garden perfume cuz its like a morning garden , a rose garden very fresh rose in the morning , very clean and lovely , gives you a positive energy to start the day , the middle notes give the perfume this clear and rosy smell with jasmine , lily of the valley and rose (my favorite flowers mix together)...absolutely love it and cant wait to get my hand on it .

From Dior's website: An encounter between sparkling rose, vibrant jasmine, lilac and white musk. I have a sample of this and I'm wearing it today layered over BB&W Paris Amour lotion. This fragrance is definitely sparkling! I think it is a must for springtime with the sweet rose, powdery lilac, and heady jasmine notes. This is a fresh, soft, and feminine daytime scent. Nice job Dior!

This smells very similar to Dior Addict Eau Sensuelle. It's like a bunch of roses with a few amount of musk. I like it, however it fades away super fast and has no trail... I feel I am wearing no perfume after 15 min...Overpriced, as I don't expect a Dior to disappear of the skin almost instantly. The question is...Why bother with this kind of fragrances?....

This Addict is undeniably chic. The first few tries I wasn't particularly blown away; as time has passed, I've reached for Dior Addict often on mornings and in warm weather. The expertly blended fresh rose with Lily of the valley is ELEGANT and not overwhelming. Sometimes quiet expertise is exactly what's needed!

I have been graciously gifted a mini by Cakes and Cuddles: it is sublime! I find the fresh floral spiciness and light fruit notes to be intoxicating. A lovely fruity-floral to add to my collection.. This addict and I need to be further acquainted though: shall edit! thanx Cakes, little sis, luv ya!

Excellent Dior's creation, nice for wonderful women, perfect for the chosen one...it ́s really floral with sweet notes (not like a sweet girl fragance),it's feel fresh and youngfull,I really love when smell on a nice woman, it's a good remembrance... Addict to life, Addict to her,Addict to love...

This perfume smells like rose mostly, but natural fresh rose. I like it, even when I don't care much for perfumes that smell rosy. It is well balanced. I like it during spring time. Update: I actually got into rose perfumes now, I love them.

all i smell is rose, rose, and rose. The rose notes is pretty dominant to me. This is not a bad fragrance, but I expected something more unique and special from Dior, not just a classic bouquet of roses

Very fresh scent. Young and inoffensive rose. Forgettable. Lasts on my skin for quite a long time (considering it's EDT). Overall, a nice fragrance but nothing special.

Addict to Life smells like Forever & Ever but F&E is less sharp. It's soft floral with no fruits. A drydown is soft musk. This is pretty but I prefer F&E.

fresh,cool, floral ,lovely smell the cap is bad easily broken and waste perfume longetivity is bad , but perfume is good ,like it

I smell only lily of the valley. It's similar to Diorissimo, but better fragrance for me, although there is almost no sillage.

Also want to add that when I finish off this bottle, I likely won't purchase it again. A pretty scent, but very forgettable.

I see the description from Dior.com. Its compositions are jasmine in the top note then rose and musk. No fruits at all.

Wow this is soft as a whisper from the moment I spray it on, but is so beautiful

Muy lindo! pero a los 10 minutos ya no siento que lo llevo puesto.

God the name is so tacky. Addict to life. Very barney and friends

I smell mostly rose in this one. It's very fresh and cool, which might be because of the lily-of-the-valley. I actually quite like the smell, despite it being very linear - it's just so fresh! At the same time, this is quite strong - if I spray more than 2 sprays on me, I feel like a perfume factory. The longevity is actually very good - much better than many people here say. I got this on my jacket once and it smelt for about 3 days. I could easily detect a rosy-freshness as I was passing by my jacket in the hallway. Even though YOU might not smell this on yourself, others will do. The problem with this perfume is... it gives me a really bad head ache, which is common for perfumes with synthetic musk. Because of this, I like Miss Dior Cherie Blooming Bouquet much better. I actually really like the smell of this when it is mixed with Chanel no5 Eau Premiere, or the original Chanel no5.

This is a pretty scent, but it's also so cold and lifeless to me that it turned me off of rose fragrances for years after wearing it.

"Shimmering, vibrant, indefinable, unique and unforgettable?" Oh brother. To me, Dior ADDICT TO LIFE smells nothing like its namesake and a lot like other Dior flankers such as MISS DIOR CHERIE L'EAU. Why do I get the feeling that these CLEANish fruity-floral frags are all being sourced from the very same vat, with maybe a few tweaks here and there? The opening is somewhat appealing, but from there everything goes downhill to that ever-expanding "indefinable" juice which becomes louder and more "hygienic", for lack of a better term, over time. I hold LVMH ultimately responsible, but it's obvious that they are being guided by marketing data, and apparently a lot of people out there really are looking to smell like my kitchen upon opening the dishwasher mid-cycle. Not for me.

I'm not a fan of this one, possibly because fruity notes don't sit well with me. This is a very strong fragrance that doesn't come off on me it really amplified to a nauseating smell, like one you get from walking into a bath and body retailer where there is just too much. HOWEVER, if you're a fan of Nina Ricci or DKNY be delicious I can imagine you'd like this one.

Addict To Life is a regular rosy-fruity scent, so easily forgettable ... A discreet office-scent. I'd rather wear nothing than this. There is absolutely nothing interesting about this fragrance. Plus for staying power, but the sillage is weak. I wouldn't be so disappointed if it was launched by a different house. But Dior? Come on!

According to the notes, I SHOULD like it.. But actually, I do not so much. It reminds me a lot of my friends mom's in elementary school for some reason. Maybe because they probably all wore CK's Eternity..? I don't know, it gives me a bit of a cold atmosfere. Not head over heels, sorry :(

I don't like this, N.V Green described it correctly. It's really really light, I don't smell ANY of the notes mentioned except for musk, I love love love musk but in this perfume it's so bad. I can't smell ANYTHING!

This is a big NO for me. Too much lily of the valley here. My skin is not a fan of that note and I just cannot tolerate this one at all. I will stick to my good friend Addict!

I get sweet fruity,soft lily of the valley,and a powdery rose impression. It can be addictive.

sorry guys, but i really don't like it!!!

It will be a tragedy if Dior does in fact discontinue the original Dior Addict to replace it with this fragrance. While Dior Addict To Life is not a bad scent, it certainly doesn't have the sensuality and the allure that Dior Addict has. It's quite a fruity fragrance, being rather heavy on the pomegranate and raspberry accords. At times it smells sweet, slightly girlish too. It's not a sexy scent, instead portraying itself as innocent and reserved. The pomegranate note is so dominant throughout the composition that even the white floral heart of jasmine, rose and lily of the valley has a rich and tarty finish. I don't know whether I like this or not. It smells a little nauseating on my skin. The drydown is rather clean-smelling, soapy almost with only the subtlest hint of powdery vanilla and musk. Dior Addict To Life is pretty, but for me personally, it's a little boring. The strong berries and pomegranate notes annoy me after awhile, and I keep shaking my head thinking how Dior could replace one of the best sensual vanillas I've tried with something like this. The lasting power I must admit is impressive, lasting almost a whole day. I think if anything, Dior Addict To Life is closer in composition to Dior Addict 2, which was a fruity fragrance I couldn't quite stomach. NB. It has since been confirmed that Dior Addict will remain on the shelves, only undergoing some minor packaging alterations. The jury is still out on whether or not the formulation has been changed.

:: update :: Just had the chance to try this and after 2 days of trial ( on skin and tester card of course!) I can say that I was not really impressed of Addict To Life Dior (ATL). This is totally different than original Addict, it's a fresh - floral musky fragrance for your information. The introduction from peach, raspberry and pomegranate are really nice. On my skin the floral notes quickly took over the intro part and they lingered for 4-5 hours before the base notes appear. Thank God I didn't get sickeningly sweet notes like other fruity floral fragrances. Don't expect u will get sweet candy/caramel or huge blast of fruit cocktail in your face. Longevity: Good, I could still smell it on my arms ( it's almost 10 hours now ). Sillage: Pretty nice, especially during first 4-5 hours before it silenced down a bit. Best for: Casual, Office, Everyday. Summer & spring. I really recommended this to anyone out there who prefer fresh-floral-musky fragrance in elegant or sophisticated way. To me ATL is nice but that's it. Not my cup of tea really. In fact nothing's so special about ATL that can make me wanting it so badly, this kind of smell is too common for my nose (which I can smell it anywhere). But the again, everyone's taste and skin is different. For a fresh-floral musky fragrance lover,you must try this! As for me, I will stick to my Bvlgari Au The Blanc ;-)

Addict to Life was a gifted to me about 8 years ago, and it took me that much time to finally test it. After the first couple of sprays came something rather generic that reminded me a bit of Miss Dior Cherie. The first 4 hours were tough because the rose seemed to be overpowered by something really dusty, not powdery, and had a drill-like annoying intensity. Probably after 5 hours I finally started to smell, much to Addict to Life's credit, a very noble rose that finally got rid of that horrible dustiness. Through that rose aura also peeked a lovely watery raspberry that added the much needed freshness to this composition. After this transition I could finally be ok with the scent and it became wearable. Silage: a pretty strong aura around you. You won't go unnoticed. Longevity: 8+ hours which was unexpected. Honestly, I'd never buy this for myself had it not been already gifted to me. Addict to Life has got some good things about it which I can live with but it's certainly not for me, and also not worth the price because of how generic it smelled for the first 4 hours. I also can't say that it smells similar to Forever and Ever. The latter is much more balanced and sophisticated. EDIT: I ended up selling it. It's just not worth it. I hope its new owner will be luckier than me.
