Heartbeat

I recently scored a bottle of the old Dior Addict with the gold screw looking thing at the top, no cap. I think it's the 1st formulation? Not sure. But it's one that I do know people are always wanting to get their hands on...anyway...I also have a bottle of this XOXO Heartbeat. I've had it a while and wear it infrequently but I always really like it when I do wear it. I figured I'd test it next to Addict. When I tell you that I really can't tell the difference, I mean it. Either my nose isn't discerning enough or this thing is a spot on dupe for Addict. I see that it's reaching high prices on places like eBay and Amazon and I'm not even sure it's available anywhere else. If you can find this for a cheap price (I paid like $25 including shipping for a 3.4 ounce a couple of years ago), get it. But do not spend the ridiculous prices I'm seeing because if you're going to spend that much for this, you may as well get the real deal Addict. But for real, this is a spot on dupe.

I love Dior Addict, and found a great deal for a 3.4 tester on ebay. I love XOXO perfumes, Mi Amore is a fave since I love the fruity sweeties. So I blind bought this. And-- I love it. Just love it. The same powder, spicy vanilla as Addict, but definitely different enough-- it's sweeter. I'm over the moon with Heartbeat, I will probably need another 3.4 to stock up on. My juice is dark tan/brown, and stained a napkin... :( But seemed to disappear from the napkin as it dried. I worry about staining my clothing. I was also scared that this OOP perfume went "bad" but it's perfect (at least to my blind buy nose). It's not a sillage/longevity bomb like Addict, but hey-- who cares. The first 60 seconds are HORRIFIC with my bottle.... maybe it is a little "sour" as far as the freshness goes.... but then it dies down to perfection.

This is gorgeous! Vanilla, peach, sandalwood. To my nose it resembles the most with Chopard Casmir, the same powdery vanilla with velvet woods and cashmeran nuance. The peach is delish, fruity enough to balance the heavy vanilla. Projection and longevity are superb! I often wonder why some old cheapies like this one perform much better than lots of modern expensive-fancy perfumes in the same category. Any case you find XoXo Heartbeat for a good price, don’t think twice just grab it. It’s worth every penny. ** Don’t be bothered by the dark brown color of the juice, doesn’t mean the smell has turned. Most perfumes with heavy vanilla will have the color get darker overtime.

Wow! This one is SO gorgeous! Red roses, hot vanilla, booze, and cinnamon (I know it's not listed in the notes but I swear I'm smelling it!) I usually don't like boozy scents because on my skin they turn masculine... But you can barely tell the petit grain is there. It's just enough to make it interesting. I picked this up from my local Marshalls store for $12.99. I feel like I'm wearing a super expensive perfume. Sillage, staying power, and projection are perfect. People are stopping me in the hallways or stores, asking me what I'm wearing. This is definitely a "red" perfume. Sizzles!

According to the sample card pack XOXO Heartbeat is .... 'A full rich modern oriental fragrance with shimmering citrus notes of Mandarin and Orange Blossom entwined with Satin Flower. Delicious floral are highlighted with Sandalwood and Bourbon Vanilla to create a lingering, creamy sensuality on the skin." I get a very spicy warm sweet vanilla with some light floral.. I love it. Good projection & lasts at least 7 hours on me (I went to bed so not sure exactly) I will have to see if I can find a bottle on ebay..

I LOVE XOXO HEARTBEAT, it reminds me about EYES FOR YOU, from POLICE. but this is much lovely, y can smell something very nice in it. like cherry, the XOXO HEARTBEAT that i have is RED..... but the bottle is the same, this is my third bottle. just love it. LAST FOR 13 HOURS ON MY SKIN. I LOVE MY XOXO HEARTBEAT

I have to agree with others that this smells a lot like Dior Addict I can say this is definitely a copy of it. This has lots of vanilla, dark, seductive, sexy, intoxicating. Great perfume at an affordable price! I own Dior Addict too, but IMO the Heartbeat has a better staying power.

I slathered myself in this when I spilled an old sample. The longevity is still going on 16 hrs later. The sillage is soft from the start as nobody even noticed I had dumped it on my desk. It is nothing amazing, but it is quite pleasant. I definitely warmed up to it as time went on.

Wow! Amazing! I got this after already having Dior addict 2002 and 2014 but this is perfect for a 2002 replica. So gorgeous and powdery sweet vanilla just like Dior Addict. The juice is thick and dark vanilla from my vintage bottle. Got a great deal on it and will love it forever

Just got a 1.7 bottle 2day at Marshalls for 12.99, smells sensuous and rich... A lil heavy for a summer daytime fragrance but if used sparingly or at night would be perfect...And yes i do agree w/ the Dior Addict similarity... Well worth the price!!!

Very spicy scent! The white pepper is very evident in this and i smells grea as a winter scent. I wold suggest this to anyone to use this as a stocking stuffer!

Is this discontinued?!!!! I bought my bottle years ago and I love how spicy and heavy this is. Wearing it in the winter makes me feel so warm and comforted.

I totally agree with the other reviewers on here. This smells EXACTLY like Dior Addict which I love but this only cost $10 for a 50 ml!! Can't beat that :D

This is beautiful. Imho, it's a 90% match to Shalimar Souffle Intense. IDK which I like better, honestly. They are equally lovely!!

I LOVE this now but didn't love it upon my first test. Not until I decided to keep it and wear it on numerous occasions, did I fully realize just how awesome and damn sexy this fragrance is! LOL! Not sure about the Addict comparisons but if they hold true, as many reviewers have stated, then that would explain the allure of this fragrance. I have worked at my current job for almost a year and NEVER have I received so many compliments and interest in a fragrance than I have with Heartbeat. It isn't loud, excessively strong, over-the-top, or obnoxious but it demands and commands the attention of anyone in the vacinity of the wearer! ;') Overall the fragrance is very well blended and smooth. There isn't a huge trasition from note to note but a subtle and inviting transformation. On my skin it opens up with a seemingly salty and spicy quality. It doesn't strike me as overtly feminine, as I can see a man pulling this off and wearing it very well even though I wouldn't describe it as conventionally masculine. I also sense a soft and beautiful rose that blends effortlessly with the other notes and after some hours the entire compostion winds down to a soft and seductively sweet vanilla. I don't know if XOXO intended to replicate Addict so masterfully but I truly love them for allowing me to experience such a fragrance that is unbelievably affordable for the juice that you get in that bottle. Anyway, it is an A+ in my book and lasts FOREVER on my skin! I can still smell it on after a 10hr work day! I am ordering a larger bottle of this A.S.A.P! ;'D

This beauty is now discontinued, sad to say and I JUST discovered it!! Luckily I was able to score two 3.4oz bottles on Amazon for a REALLY good deal!! That should last me for the remainder of my life :) I had sampled this from a seller on Ebay who is selling vials of this scent. I honestly think his samples must have gone off a bit, as the have that "insecticide" quality about them. But the samples were still okay enough that I got the jist of the fragrance....so, Heartbeat and ORIGINAL Addict, they are cousins but that is where the similarity ends. Now with the NEW Addict, Heartbeat does bear some resemblence..actually, the old Addict was phenomenal, the new Addict..meh..not so much. I actually think that XOXO Heartbeat is richer and better composed than the new Addict and I actually find Heartbeat quite full bodied compared to the new Addict...I am pretty sure that it is the sandalwood, the beautiful woody note that the old Addict had, the new Addict doesn't. Heartbeat has it and it is wonderful :) I cannot WAIT for my two new bottles :D

Very interesting item - rare, but cheap and yet so special! Unexpectedly strong for such a Barbie-doll-like bottle. Heartbeat has its fame for resembling Dior Addict 2002. I don't know if they intended it that way, but those who miss the DA and look for the replacement can give it a fair try - it has the same vanilla and a strong medicinal vibe which is quite unique. I love it!

I bought this unsniffed because of the reviews comparing it to Dior Addict, and I was not disappointed! This smells much more expensive than the price tag suggests. If you like Dior fragrances, this has the same feel and it would be worth your time to check it out!

Mostly vanilla & petitgrain. I got mine at a flea market for $10 and it had been sitting out in the sun for who-knows-how-long, but I fell in love with it. It's pretty strong and lasts a while. Very interesting scent!

Spicy with vanilla. Reminds me of an inexpensive perfume I used to have. It’s ok but I won’t be buying it again.
