Charm

So the story goes as such. When I was a kid in the early 2000, my relative wore Dior Addict 2002. Clearly as a child, I only remembered the sweetness of the smell of that perfume and had no recollection of the name of what the bottle looked like. As the years have passed, I was never able to find what perfume that was (Mind you I've sampled today's Dior Addict, and I didn't like it at all.). Till 3 days ago where on my way home, I got a waft of THAT scent while I was waiting for the metro to arrive. I had to figure out, where it was coming from, and who was wearing it. Like a hound sniffing the fox out, I started sniffing the air around me, pinpointing where that sultry, sweet mysteriously sexy aroma was coming from. I laid my eyes on the potential wearers. a group of women to the right of me around 2 meters away, or a single woman to my right around the same distance away. I closed my eyes and waited for the next draft of air to tell me where I should go. It was the woman to my left. I strategically followed her into the metro cart and waited patiently as a seat freed up next to her. Two stops later while my anxiety was getting the better of me, hoping/praying she wouldn't get off before I had the chance to ask her, a seat was vacant next to her. I grabbed my chance. While sitting right next to this woman, realizing finally this is the moment I've been longing for the past 24 years, I turned around and asked her. "Please you have to let me know, what the name of the perfume is. It's gorgeous" to which she replied "Oh why thank you so much," my eyes grew wide with anticipation she continued, "It's a spot-on reformulation of a cologne I wore in my teens named Dior Addict. The new one does not smell like the old one. This is called Charm by a perfume company named Verset. It's a bargain, you can find it at most drugstores.." She got off two stops later after I thanked her immensely. I went home and ordered it in a heartbeat. I just received my parcel and I've happily sprayed myself all over. I've already received a HECK ton compliments. Longevity I'll say is ginormous. On my skin, I can get an 8-hour wear easily. On clothes, the scent lasts well into the next day. Value for price I would say 10/10 Performance - A BEAST Just be careful as with most vanilla based fragrances (dupes or originals) DO NOT spray on white or light color clothing as it can stain red/purple/burgundy (depending on how much vanilla is in it)

I would like to add my bit of a thrill! Although I've never believed these copy-cat companies, after stumbling on Verset I was pulled here to find out if it's even listed here. And when I read all, I ordered those small versions of Charm (I had a sample of Addict long time ago and love it, but not so much to spend such money for it and also my nose was not so experienced that time) and Preziose, which should be the YSL Libre copy and that I tried and like. Right after unpacking it (the packaging and bottles are soo nice for cheapies!!!) I sprayed Charm on my arm and OH MY GOD! It is soo good! For all Dior lovers (and I am) who don't have/want to spend such money I say GO FOR IT! Regarding the Libre, it comes on me a bit sharper, louder, not so round as Libre did, but as time goes on, it actually has some progress. It's probably not going to be my cup of coffee. But I will try other Versets for sure, it's georgeous! edit: although mine juice is already turning darker, I tried on white scarf and it's not stained it.

Stupendously good. I had an original release Dior Addict I sold reluctantly as I was hardly wearing it. Then I had a craving to smell it again and so I did some research and came across Verset, which I previously noticed was sold at a local chemist. I can confirm that this smells exactly like the vintage formula. What a hidden gem. Another one to try from Verset is Rouge (hypnotic poison dupe). I managed to find a small bottle of Dana which smells like Teint de Neige (so really good), but I believe it’s been discontinued. My next on the list to try is Vivian, which is a dupe of Narciso by Narciso Rodriguez (square/cube bottle). Really enjoying Verset and I’m definitely going to get a larger bottle of Charm and Rouge.

Absolutely agree with @elledeelee and the reviews below. Hey, I got a hay note as well but it fades away thankfully. And the juice was not purely yellow when I got it, in fact, my bottle starts to get more orange/red as I realized - I think it's because of the vanilla (I have some old fragrances in my collection that are still wonderful but 'developed' a deep color over time). This is an absolutely amazing fragrance, I'm stunned because I've never smelt a fragrance so similar to Dior Addict (I'm wearing the latest version of DA edp, 2014, most days though). If you love any version of DA, you will love this fragrance and the price is thrillingly sensational.

Oooh, Dior Addict vintage. That's what this is!! I'm so thrilled with it and the price is a steal! I adore Dior addict (OG) it was on heavy rotation for me back in the day. I'm not a big fan of classic-green frags, but its green in the BEST possible way. It gives me fern, kind of pine tree green, oh I can't explain, it's just divine! Charm has delivered an excellent dupe of the original and best Dior Addict, but it isn't the powerhouse that Addict used to be, nor does it last half as long. But for the price.... Who cares! Love it!

This one must be the best dupe for Dior Addict out there. It stays on my skin and clothes much more than the Dior one does. Which to me is, insane. I love the smell since I love Addict, it's a really great dupe in all aspects but one. After a while, the perfume turns into a red colour and I have done the mistake of putting it on a white blouse which was stained and had to go to the washing machine. Spray it either on your skin or really dark clothes. Definately buy this if you love Dior Addict!!!

Absolute dupe for dior addict, I can’t tell them apart. Very good for the price. Longevity is not that great, 3-4 hours, but I really do not mind reapplying. It projects strongly for the first hour and you can very clearly smell it on you, but after that it just kind of settles down. The perfume itself is very orangey-redish, guess is from the vanilla, so don’t spray it on light clothes, as it may stain them. 10/10 for 7-8 euros for the 50ml, you can’t ask for more. Get it while you can.

Charm is a great clone of Addict, in fact I prefer it cause it's not as cloying. I won't repeat what it smells like since plenty of people have done a good job already. What possessed Verset to make the fragrance red after the reformulation, I'll never understand. It stains and that's annoying and off-putting for me.

Perfect dupe for dior addict, and for a fraction of the price! Just as strong, just as rich, just as long lasting to me. There is not a single difference to my nose whatsoever, not a single thing that smells cheap or dupe-like. Great cheapie!

This is the best dupe of Dior Addict by far for me, long lasting on me and sillage is huge. love that has same notes as Dior Addict vintage no one can tell the difference on me will defo be investing a few bottles.

My favorite cheapy hands down! If you have this you don't need the current version of dior addict because is better and more potent with gr8 development! Love it...

Spot on dupe for Dior Addict 2002! I'll definitely look up other fragrances from this brand

A lovely version of Dior Addict, which I dislike on myself, but adore on other people. A softer, more wearable scent for me. I recommend :)

This smells just like Dior addict perfume, I am very impressed. Sillage is great and price even better

I'm trying - really trying - to understand all the people who claim this to be a "perfect dupe" for Dior Addict 2002. That was my signature scent back then and I held onto my bottles for as long as I possibly could. I have yet to find a dupe that smells like anything other than generic powdery synthetic garbage and this is no exception. Maybe my expectations were too high. In fact, I'd be willing to bet that after reading so many rave reviews, my expectations were *definitely* too high but still, this is nowhere near Addict. Not even in the same ballpark, city, state, country, continent, or planet. People will tell you it's a bargain but save yourself the money and skip this one if you're, like me, on a neverending search to find your next Addict-like signature scent.

It smells milky, sour, bitter lillies. Very unpleasant scent.

I bought a small tester of this based on all the wonderful reviews below, and I must say the little 15ml bottles are super cute and great for carrying with you. Firstly, unlike the picture, this juice is bright red and really stained my skin, so I'd hate to think what it might do to my clothes. Be careful where you spray it!! As for the perfume itself, this is the best clone of Dior Addict I have come across, but as it dries down it develops a strong note of hay, which I actually love in perfumery, but which doesn't belong here. Eventually it settles into vanilla and very dry sandalwood which is pleasant, but lacking in the depth of the original. Longevity is not great but it's so cheap you can spray a lot of it, and top up without hesitation. I went heavy with the sprays on a hot summer day and it wafted quite nicely for a few hours. Either way, I'm verrrrry pleased with it for the price.

I really love this scent. It has such a sweet and spicy smell that isn't overwhelming or sickly. I only wish that the scent lasted longer. As for me it only lasted 1 or 2 hours but for the price you're not always going to get a long lasting product.

Oh WOW. This is heaven in a cheap bottle. If you enjoyed Dior addict 2002, please get this one. Like yesterday. I’m speechless so will just leave it there.

So this smells like cinnamon with a bit of greeness,I like it but have not smelled the original

This is a perfect dupe for Dior Addict, probably better.
