Dior Addict Eau Fraiche 2012

Second Review - Ahhh I get it now.... lets do away with Addict 2, create a slightly reformulated version and call it eau fraiche so it captures the attention of avid Addict collectors who long for the old version.... which was a true lighter addict, this is nothing like that one from 2004.. I cant help feel that Dior are preying on people like me who are suckers for the flankers and just HAVE to have them ALL! This new revamped juice is beautiful of course and has that gorgeous signature sweet after tone all the Addicts have which lingers in the air and in my nose, the note you keep getting a whiff of and then realise the amazing scent you keep smelling is you!. Its sad Addict 2 is on the way out, stock up while you can! However, naturally I`l be getting this version ASAP to add to my other 8 versions (Addict sparkle in pink, logomania and the "collect it" editions are IMPOSSIBLE to find) Guess its my own fault for being Sooo Addicted ;D

This has been getting a few negative, or neutral comments, and I can see why some people may not be too impressed with it. However, I beg to differ. Firstly, I think this is a wonderful fragrance. It's so well balanced, it's got the right amount of sweet to the right amount of citrus. I can smell each and every one of the different notes unfolding on my skin. At first, once sprayed, it almost smells like sweet sparkling lemonade with a hint of raspberry, but as the drydown occurs, I get a fresh, sweet smell of raspberry and some fresh florals coming through. I tried Versace Bright Crystal to compare, as I've read they smell similar somewhat, but I feel the Dior is so much more sophisticated and a lot more balanced with the notes. The Versace left me with a headache from the moment I sprayed it, I found it very cloying and it smelt like a household cleaner. The Dior does not have that affect on me. Perfect summer fragrance.

I was always a big fan of Dior Addict 2, but it was very hard for me to find it in perfumeries. So, I decided to give Eau Fraiche a try and... I have to say, I barely see the difference between those two scents. While the bottle is a bit different, despite the pink color, the scent is the same. I might just be worried about longevity of Eau Fraiche, because it stays on skin for about 3 hours, but for EDT it's quite reasonable. I don't find it a big problem, because I don't like heavy scents. Eau Fraiche is bright, sparkling fruity-floral, that is very captivating. It's also very warm and cozy, perfect both for summer and late autumn, for me also winter. I bought myself a bottle, as I couldn't find previous version od Dior Addict 2, and I am in love with Eau Fraiche. I find it perfect for a wedding day - definitely will be wearing this on my big day :)

I just received this in the mail,. I ordered this online because I read somewhere that it's the rebranding of Dior addict 2. Well, this smells exactly like Dior addict 2. I have 2 tester bottles of Dior addict 2, one is the old packaging with the notes written on the bottle as grapefruit, freesia and musks and the new packing with the notes bergamot, freesia and musks. The new bottle of addict 2 has an extra square ring just below the cap (just like the cap of eau fraiche) My bottle of Addict Eau Fraiche has exactly the same notes as the new bottle of Addict 2 - bergamot, freesia and white musks. So I guess Dior must have changed the name but retain the same formulation. I just love it for its freshness and clean smell, just what I need in this hot and humid weather. When I put this on, one of my friend asked if I wear miracle???

Beautiful blind buy. I got this on overstock and I am so pleased with the scent. Although this is the light version it's perfect for summer and initially has a nice kick to it. My entire living room smells lovely from where I sprayed it. Non offensive, light, sexy and ideal for the summer months. This light sexy scent will draw compliments. I was concerned reading the below review about lemons and expected mine to smell like lemon pledge but to my surprise it did not. I sprayed this on at night and smelled it in the morning also I could smell it on a sweater I wore the day before. I have not smelled the original Addict so I don't know how this compares but I absolutely love this one.
