Dior Addict Eau de Toilette

Voluptuous Jasmine... To start, this doesn't smell anything like the EDP to me, and really shines in warm weather. Powdery, velvety jasmine-sambac accented by Tunisian neroli get top billing in this beauty. Opens with a fruity burst of mandarin that segues into the jasmine-sambac & tunisian neroli heart with floral, near-violet, clean, citrus & warm-spicy nuances, all resting on a floral support base of vanilla-sandalwood. Jasmine-sambac is the star of the show here with its velvety, marshmallow-y, near-violet & warm-spicy nuances that are cut by the fresh, clean & citrus aspects of the Tunisian Neroli. On the skin I'm getting musk & pencil shavings and a later shampoo vibe, and in the air once the jasmine-sambac starts to heat up it takes on a room-filling velvety, fluffy, near-marshmallow smoothness. Seekers & collectors of jasmine scents won't be disappointed. Contrast to Daisy Marc Jacobs: These are different, but there are some similarities with musky jasmine. Daisy is more aquatic & ozonic, while Dior Addict EDT is more about powdery, velvety jasmine. Dior Addict EDT outperforms. Overall: Well above average performance, and a beautiful jasmine-sambac scent profile, but not what I was expecting for the Dior Addict name. This wasn't a love at first sniff for me, but once the vanilla aged in the bottle it's now blowing me away. it's a love for me. Enjoy! Update 07/06/24: Really enjoying this one today. The vanilla has come even more forward than initially. Smells fantastic in the air; sweet yet fresh, fluffy & full, creamy, powdery & clean. Up close on the skin there is a pleasant but sharp cleanness from the neroli. It's definitely not a dupe, but becomes more and more similar to the family of scents like J'Adore Dior, Daisy Marc Jacobs - I would say I find it more similar to J'Adore Dior than Dior Addict EDP. Performs great in warm weather, and with aging the vanilla this becomes a 10/10.

I have both the Dior addict EDP and the EDT, and I like both, even thought they are from different planets. The edp is feminine in a dark, heavy and intimidating way, meanwhile the edt is a bright, sparkly and a very likeable feminine. I often shy away from wearing the edp because it's so strong and intense, but the edt I reach for almost every day. It's so easy to wear (in a good type of way)! Somehow I feel like it smells like a summer party, with good friends and colorful drinks and a low, red sun. If you like bright, girly parfumes this is a safe blind buy. But you might be dissapointed if you expect a lighter match to the edp. Rating this 9/10 in total. My favorite perfumes is guerlain meteorites and miss dior blooming bouquet, so maybe that will give an insight in what type of feminine this perfume is and who will like it. Smells somewhat like marc jacobs daisy, but better, in my opinion. very sad this is discontinued.

I bought it first time in 2014 at airport on a work trip to Amsterdam. At that time I was sure that all fragrances turned bad on my skin and that I was never going to find any fragrance that would be beautiful from start to finish, but this gem totally changed my view. I fell in love completely. This is just so beautiful and emotional. I started to get more into fragrances in 2019 and after testing lots of fragrances I have realized that I'm usually not a fan of white flower dominant scents; except for this one. This is just perfect, suitable for both day and night. I see lot of people say that this is not long lasting, but on my skin, I get at least 8 h longevity. More suitable for cold weather, but you can definitely wear it all year round. Suits every occasion, it's fresh and deep at the same time. My Addiction, my Signature. Dior please never discontinue!

I went to a talk on a cruise ship about combining perfumes to make your own signature scent. The two perfumes featured were Dior Addict & Yves St Laurent Libre. Both are beautiful on their own but do also work really well together. The salesperson sprayed both of my arms with the perfumes. I originally bought Libre because I thought initially that the Addict smelled too strong. It is 15 hours later & I can still smell the Addict on my wrist. It is absolutely beautiful. It dries down to a lovely fragrance that must go really well with my body chemistry because I have never had any fragrance last this long on my skin. I thought I would just buy it when I get home but I’ve looked on every department store website and no one sells it in the states apparently so I’ll buy it on ship before I leave.

This scent is a great all-rounder for those who live in warmer climates. The opening is clean and dewy, a refreshing and irresistibly pretty citric-white floral. The drydown gets abit warmer and powdery, taking me by surprise, vanilla and sandalwood emerges to sweeten and add some weight to the composition, yet inspite of that, it never gets cloying in the heat and remains clean. Addict edt is basically a bright citrus-jasmine-vanilla scent. It does have that high-end, classy feel to it despite being simplistic. Practically the total opposite of the edp, this one is sunny, optimistic and demure. I can understand how some would find it boring, but I can see myself easily reaching for a scent like this, it would get used up quick.
