Dior Addict Eau Sensuelle

Dior Addict was one of my very favourite scents by Dior for a great while, until I started using some of their more mature scents. Now, as I revert back to their more youthful or, shall we say 'less serious scents', I find myself enjoying this playful favourite for the Spring & Summer. I accepted this rather blindly in a trade from a good friend of mine and while it is definitely not in the same space as the original Dior Addict, it is definitely a 'sensual water' Sensuality in this case should be taken in a non-sexy way. More in the way of a spa, a spa where massages are given and face masks are applied. The type of sensuality where the infusion of sexuality would not only be taboo, but will get you in a lot of trouble, also. It's innocent, joyful and beautiful. It arouses the senses, but isn't a 'in bed with your lover' fragrance. Not quite boring, but I suppose it's not quite interesting either. Still, a strong love. The spa aspects come across as soon as the fragrance is applied. Like fresh jasmine water laced with delicate rose petals that would be used on your face as a toner. Or infused into a light oil that would be used to massage. The jasmine is mildly indolic, so some people may smell a bit urinous if wearing this ... but I suspect many will enjoy it. To say that this is identical to Forever & Ever vintage and Les Creations is abysmal. The two are very different to my nose. I think it's another case of 'well, there's the same notes so I guess they're similar' The musk in this is also quite far from clean and could actually be quite sweaty. Hence why one should wear with caution Longevity & sillage are above average, really. 6+ hours for longevity and about 5-6 feet of sillage imo

I just recently got into perfumes (late in the game - 29!) and this was my first official "real" perfume purchase. I walked in intending to get Dior Addict, but something in it really threw me off. I could tell it would give me a headache over time. After trying several different scents, the SA at Sephora (who was wonderful) suggested this as an alternative. As soon as I smelled it on the paper I knew it was for me. It opens with a bright sharp note that quickly fades into a powdery scent. After about half an hour, it is equal parts light rose and jasmine. One spritz lasts forever on me, without becoming cloying or overwhelming, Now, I am new to all this, so maybe this is a common combination, or something you can find in a drugstore. But I went in intending to get something with spice and vanilla and walked out with a powdery floral. That's how much this scent swept me off my feet. It's been a couple of days now and it continues to grow on me.

Since diorissimo (reformulated) is no longer available at my country this is the closest scent I'm able to get. I like it because it's not as strong as diorissimo,, and doesn't smell dated at all, also the rose is really really good, except for the Og Addict, what really got me into the Addict flankers is the quality of their rose note, it's fresh, stays.fresh and clean and never gets powdery, its like a weird creamy rose which I havent found in any other frags. Haters gon' hate. Like I care. ETA: 8hrs and going strong, not complaining at all about this reformulation, it's less tacky than addict to life IMO. Reminds me of Miracle by Lancôme. ETA N°2: two days have passed and it still lingers on my sheets and my cardigan. I'm blown away since I didn't spray my sheets with this, guess It transferred while I slept? Amazeballs longevity for an EDT

I just tried this and I absolutely love this scent! To me this is very clean & sensual... yes, it is possible to have best of both worlds :) It strongly reminded me of another scent I tried several years ago which gave me the exact same feeling... I was in the car driving home and kept thinking what it was that it reminded me off, then it hit me: Dior Forever and Ever. And now I see that I'm not the only one. The only reason why would not buy either of these is the price/longevity ratio. They just don't last on my skin, therefore I'm not willing to pay such a high price for it. But the scent is absolutely gorgeous to me!

I never thought that a perfume this uninteresting would grow on me. This smells like very, very expensive shampoo. I can’t detect any individual note, the clean scent of newly washed linen or hair is all I can smell and I love it. Even though they’re nothing alike, I’d say the vibe is quite close to Maison Margiela Replica Lazy Sunday Morning. It’s a bit more powdery than I expected and powdery scents aren’t exactly what I’d call “sensual” but overall it’s such a good perfume.
