Dior Addict (for women)

TURQUOISE

DIOR ADDICT.. Hmmmm Be careful of it, it can be a real addiction!!!
This magic juice put a spell on me and now I can't live without it! I detect lots of cinnamon-jasmine notes and I can only compare it to an other unique masterpiece..and this would be ORGANZA Indecence! Only this one is a warm oriental floral that makes you feel so sexy and mysterious in a cozy way..
A must try!

This is sexiness at its best. I love this stuff. I love it! I love it! I love it! I knew I had to have it when I first smelled it years ago. Spray this on sparingly, because it’s packs a whale of a wollop. It’s bold and daring and will knock you back with its intenseness. A good douse of it usually lasts throughout the day. If you want to produce that WOW factor when entering a room or impressing someone, this is definitely your fragrance. It’s sensual, sexy, erotic, exotic and beautiful all at the same time. It grabs you whenever you smell it, very alluring. This will definitely get you noticed. People stop me all the time and ask me what I’m wearing when I’m wearing Dior Addict. The opening burst of fruit has just the right amount of fruitiness. The jasmine, rose and other florals add the perfect amount of flowery goodness, and the dry down is the best part. Mmm, the Tonka bean, vanilla and sandalwood harmonizes beautifully on your skin. Dior Addict is without a doubt a very romantic and intimate fragrance and should only be worn during the nights, very passionate nights. Ideal for the 20 + and over crowd.

I have smelled this on others & enjoyed the heavy waft they left behind, so I bravely tried it out on myself. It is not a 'me' scent, but it is a well thought out heavy oriental fruity/floral - not quite as assaulting as most & the dry-down is really lovely.

At first sniff it wasn't pleasant, almost clinical - I was swiftly transported to the surgery! In a few seconds I was dragged out for a night on the town, drinking a Blackberry Cooler cocktail, wearing high heels, short dress & smoky eyes. Then salsa time, getting spicy-hot on the dance floor....warming up, feeling the glow (the juicy berries are still there, so I must've spilled some cocktail on my purple, satin dress)....I dance for AGES downing spicy vanilla cream drinks....then finally, after hours & hours, I collapse into bed, warm, musky, dizzy, smoky & sugarcoated.

& all that from one, tiny squirt! Powerful stuff, use with care :)

i m in love with this fragrance for quite a while but it is an expensive perfume and i ve waited to get a discount.i finally got it and of course i was very happy.it s a great perfume,deep,sensual,long lasting.but i am very disapointed about the bottle,it s very good looking but it can very easily break:( and i ve wasted some precious perfume coz of that.this thing spoiled a bit my hapiness:(.but i got over it....and now i can focus only on perfume.i love the opening,it s a very interesting combination of notes and a bit heavy,as i like .then it settles to a warm flowery vanilla base.i can detect night queen in this perfume,it s one of my favourite flowers since i was a child,my grandfather loved this flower very much and every night i remember that i was waiting for the amazing smell.addict is my favourite perfume from dior and i find some similarities with midnight poison which is a dear perfume for me too but its bottle didn t cause me too much trouble as this one from addict.it s a very individual perfume,it can t be mistaken or ignored,although my friend who prefers fruity floral fragrances says that most of my fragrances smell very alike which i disagree .also very popular here in my country and i don t think only coz it s dior but coz it has a high quality.lasts over 6 hours on my skin.bourbon vanilla is so sensual on skin along with base notes,almost sexual,a true addict.i would rate it 5 stars and i can say that i m very hard to please.

I have to say some women just happen to wear this fragrance quite nicely. I however are not one of these women. My love for this fragrance first started when my coworker wore this to work. The smell was lovely I would walk behind her just to get a whiff and asked her what perfume she was wearing. Dior Addict she said and it was her boyfriends favorite fragrance.
I had to try it and so I tested twice the first time I liked it and loved it on the drydown. The second time not at all. The smell too strong.... my nose was being assaulted by spices and sweet vanilla. Like a huge cinnamon roll loaded (overwhelmingly) with cinnamon and spices topped with vanilla frosting. I only sprayed it once on my hand and i would smell it from every angle i turned my nose. The lasting power is incredible. It made my head hurt. And sadly I removed it from my want list beingone of the few that can't wear it.

My feelings towards Dior Addict are almost the same as towards Dior Poison - it is too heavy for me, my head starts spinning a little bit. Besides, Addict has some kind of medicine aftertaste, it is not obvious, but a couple minutes after sniffing i'm left with this impression in my senses.

And again, like with ALL heavy orientals - i just love base notes! They are the best - dark and seductive, but they don't intoxicate me.

Unfortunately i want to love the fragrances i purchase from the very beginning to the end...

tommy_girl

my first impression is that it's too much to take!at the first sniff you don't even need to get closer to the paper you've sprayed it on to feel this strong perfume.
my BF believes it smells like dentists' places and he hates it,but I think it's a challenging perfume,as I can't name any other one that smells this way.
I don't get much floral note even at the heart of this perfume.it reminds me somehow "ange ou demon".but it's more likely into demon side.I can't say that it's romantic,nor innocent.it's the scent of a powerful,brutal woman.
it's very different from all of later addict editions and the strongest one among all of them
by the way who can deny that it's very long lasting?
the shape of bottle matches the perfume in it the best way.

tuberose_and _sand

I really like this perfume; it's the first time I'm using it, although I've known about it for a long time. To me, it has a strong smell, very sensual and oriental, deep, dark and rich. It has reasonable staying power and the drydown is powdery, warm and sophisticated.I detect notes of vanilla and spices and, on my skin, it becomes a bit smokey, but in a pleasant way. Great smell altogether!

Elitsa

My sister uses a third bottle of it - she is so in love with it - when she found it she stopped using all others.
For me this is from the perfumes you love or hate. I find it very oriental, very vintage but it's too strong, heavy and smells cheap. i don't smell anything from the top notes, only a very sweet vanilla - it cause me a headache. i hate it.

The first fragrance I was hooked on and that triggered my love a affair with fragrance was Must De Cartier(the 80's version). The perfume came in a little bottle with a leather case. Dior Addict reminds me of a modern less claggy version of this. I used to detest heavy fragrances in my mid twenties such as Angel and Obsession,then my taste completely changed so I began experimenting. I was a little late to the party with Addict and only discovered it a couple of years ago, after testing I fell for the woodsy tobacco-y vanilla. It has a squeeze of freshness which counteracts the heady tonka bean, but its is pure addiction. A little goes a long way and usually I like only enough to hit my own nose, not the whole room as it can be a statement perfume.

Niovi

I finally found my perfume, the one that will take the place of my last bottle of Nu (YSL)! At first I got excited with Hypnotic Poison. I bought it but it was too sweetish-corny I would say. Then I thought I found what I wanted on Midnight Poison. Bought it too but it was too masculine and heavy. They both made me sick.
Then I remembered Dior ADDICT and asked dad to bring it from the airport just in case. And that was it! Less oriental than Nu but still feminine, it is at the same time fresh enough to wear it during the day and for me, even summer. It is exactly on the limit between a heavy and a light perfume. It is intensive but not slightly annoying. I reommend it to almost everybody who are not fun of too light, flowry or fruity perfumes.

This fragrance has so much depth, it wraps you in a sensual feminine aura. I have loved this fragrance since it came out. It is truly a fabulous evening scent you will feel so sexy in this and it is addictive, ask any man and they can't get enough!

ramiske

I have read reviews of this one many times, but I had tried Addict 2, which didn't really impress me--so I stayed away.
Addict couldn't be any more different than Addict 2! I was in a store yesterday, and tested this on a whim. WOW! I was so impressed, and immediately wanted it! It isn't a scent for the quiet, understated woman, however. It is an 'in your face' bold scent. Even 36 hours later, the little tester strip is still going strong.

I usually don't wear orientals, but this will soon be part of my collection!!! I WANT IT!!

Anna_C

When they said this fragrance lasted long... they were NOT kidding!!! I love this fragrance but two words - Head Ache! This stuff is powerful!!! And it lasts forever! Really amazing tho! I really love it- very sensual and warm with sweet vanilla and a nice oriental drydown. Excellent fragance! When I wear it I get a headache but this is one thats WORTH the heaache!!! Im such an Addict!!

frangipani

After reading so many reviews on this perfume I had to try it. I was very lucky to find some samples on ebay. I had already tried the eau fraiche and am still undecided about it but this? I am in love with it. I have been searching for an evening fragrance that isn't too in ya face but has just enough oomph to be sensual and provoke a reaction. I agree it is probably more wintery but could I get away with it in the spring/summer season as well?? We'll see. Maybe that is when the Eau Fraiche should kick in but it doesn't have the same wow for me that this does. Anyway, I bought all 14 samples in a job lot. I'll keep you informed. The search is halted for now.....

guiwings

all the comments on this are so positive, but why can't I just like this perfume. Yes it has a original smell, but it's really strong. at least for my poor nose

Mellushka

I still haven't made my mind up about this perfume..
I haven't made up my mind on wheather it would suit me or not...
I think I may need a tester beforehand.

The opening lures you in, the scent begins to play with your mind, your thoughts dance with the top notes, wanting more.. changing your mindset.. seduction, bedroom eyes and smokey whispers... all in a whirlpool of fragrance presented at once.

drydown then becomes apparent, sensual, warm, inviting, like a blanket with a cup of hot chocolate in front of a fire...
the calm after the storm...
The dry-down really is divine

I will make my decision soon enough..

julianne35

hımmmm..this is really warm, feminine and sexy...Such a good combination of sandalwood, vanilla and tonka bean..Those three I like the most in a perfume! The only thing that distrubed me when I smell was the green notes in the top which fortunately only lasts 5 minutes:)

allexa27

Addict is one of a kind!there is no other perfume with such specific ,super seductive and mistirious smell.i always must have at least one bottle of it !

mellybee

There is something in common with Rochas Absolue, which I prefer to this. Addict becomes too sweet for my taste.

Filiccia

ADDICTed 2 it from the first time I tested it. It differs from other "heavy" winter perfumes,it's quite strange...Unforgettable!

snobuni77

I was so happy to get it & as soon as I opened the package I put it on & had my husband smell it right away.At first(very first) it smelled masculine (he said it reminded him of Old Spice LOL) but it definitely doesn't smell anything like that,but it did kind of at first
I do smell the mandarin & raspberry witch is held up by vanilla & tonka.The sandalwood makes it so its not to sweety.I have to say that I think I smell violet in this but I don't see it in the notes.

This perfume is heavenly.I don't find it to strong or overbearing at all(Unless you douse yourself in it which my mother in law just did =(I'm frowning because she just dumped half my mini in her hands=( DaM it!!!
Well I will be for sure buying a larger bottle.

This is a very sexy sensual perfume,so much so that it actually almost even turns me on "lol"

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Update I bought a 3.4 oz bottle & I'm still loving this.
It is also one of the 4 perfumes by husband actually said he like's YaY!!!!

debbie

It is somewhat mild but all yet sexy. Not overbearing but a sweet mild smell. It is a great at-work fragrance.

Trvevil

For me it's so similar to Flowerbomb Extreme Sparkle, It doesn't leave any trail. It's more oriental/spicy than Flowerbomb. Lasting power is also excellent. One thing, I was so confused. I read all these 'sexy' comments and was expecting something... but not this.
(And 'sexy' I was expecting was like Agent Provocateur)
It's flowery at the beginning and dries down very spicy leaving something a little sweet too.

Ester

I’m reading all of your “sexy” reviews and I’m surprised. I would never call it “sexy’. For me it’s a proper perfume for the proper lady. She always wears the right clothes and says the right things. The only improper thing about her – she’s improperly rich.

Niovi

I decided I like and I will probably buy this pefume, the moment I tried it on my hand chosing it randomly from the stand. However it keeps confusing me because it smells differently every time I try it. At the beginning I concieved it as oriental, but at the end of the day I could smell mainly vanillia. Today all I could smell was flowers in the beginning and after hours it was mainly vanillia again. It also seems strange that everybody describe it as longlasting cause it came up very subtle to me-I can barely smell it right now. However it is a good perfume, one of the best I have tried the last week looking to replace my no longer existing Nu.

honeypoppyseed

Dior Addict is a great perfume for a number of reasons: It smells incredible, it's very long lasting, and it's economical. You will only need one or two spritzes and you're good all night (or day).

When you first apply it it's very strong and intoxicating, but after a few moments the smell soaks in and starts pumping through your body and nose. It toys with your brain. It's very sexy, very seductive (to men and women). It's very sweet and yet it has a real edge and spice. The use of sandalwood is so brilliant... I never could have predicted the way that would play with the vanilla.

Dior Addict is exactly what it claims to be: addictive, sexy, and clearly sensual. Not every woman can get away with wearing it the same way. A lady needs to find her own place for Addict, and make sure she owns the scent, and that it doesn't own her.

Also, bit of a cautionary tail: NEVER buy Addict 2, or any other Dior fragrance and expect it to be at all comparable to Addict original. They aren't. While I LOVE Miss Dior Cherie, there have been some fragrances by Dior which have reeeaaallly rubbed me the wrong way.

Silvery

It was one of my Christmas presents, and I immediately got addicted to this perfume. What a beautiful oriental floral it is, I can't stop sniffing my wrist! Very rich, sensual&seductive! I'm looking forward to show this perfume to my boyfriend ;)
Only bad thing is that the bottle I got is 5 ml :(

pumpkinqueen

You have to own this at some point in life. I wore it solidly when i was 18 and last week my fiance's mum and me decided it was time for a Dior X-mas 08!

Everytime I wear it I get the following 3 questions/approaches,
'Ummmmmm!! You smell amazing!'
'AHH ADDICT!!! I wear it too!'
'Please tell me what that perfume is so i can buy it!'

Its intersting to smell, nothing like the other perfumes on the market. Its not what i would call 'sweet' but its not Fresh or Light.

Very sexy and long lasting!

persefonex

This perfum is absolutely seductor. Many people would use it at evening. Whatever, i use it for working and everyone ask me what am i using. Is for women self secure, feminines, and not shide. I use it when i need to feel my self wonderful and divine. Is for feeling like a queen.

Taliera

This is the first Dior scent I have actually liked!! J'Adore was nothing more than "alright" and the Poisons never attracted me (they were too heavy and made me want to sneeze...), while Miss Dior Cherie (which everyone was raving about) seemed nothing more than a well researched floral-fruity designed for the teen/youth market.
But this one - is not so much punch you in the face - it's strong but subtle at the same time. Like the bottle, the fragrance smells "blue". I love the creamy vanilla and sandalwood base (most bases I love have these two ingredients). The whole composition is mysterious and complex, unfolding deep lustrous notes throughout the drydown... Not for everyone, but definitely for me :)

pimentosugars

Creamy, all that vanilla...it's the sandalwood that stops this queen of the night smelling like a rice pudding bath. Definitely an evening scent and one doesn't need too much of it - it's a moment away from being too sweet. Soft and sultry, a very alluring scent.

Creamy

Shining it's light on an ancient tomb, the moon summons the corpse to awaken from a long slumber. As she slowly moves about, the whistling winds begin to stir the aroma of stale incense and dried roses from the tombs dirty floor.
Upon exiting her chambers the Night Queen turns around and takes one last slow and steady inhale so that she may capture the essence of her own death.

Now for sale at your local department store.

I'm not a fan.

Hattie

Yes, Dior Addict is truly addictive.
It starts out fresh with mandarin leaves, then quickly settles into heady flowers. During the process, it develops into a warm, sensual and: yes, cozy yet softly sensuous velvet blanket. It makes you feel special, because there is no scent like this; it will follow your steps in a soft veil of mellow and somewhat smokey, sultry vanilla.
This scent doesn't need to shout - it whispers, and does just that in a very elegant fashion.

scarlett5stam

very hot !!!!
i like it ;)
It is a fragance very sensual, beautiful and magical scent.... transportation in a dream full of promise ... A long journey that transports me.

PR

I've tried this smell again ,and Kenzo as well and found less similarity between them then previuosly. And sadly liked them much less as well. Though obviously Dior Addict is a good smell, I've found it lacking some depth, perhaps it is the softness of the scent, but there's something artificial in it that I dislike too.

PR

I don't know if I am mistaken, but Dior Addict is quite similar smell to Kenzo Amour. Dior has a little more spiciness, and it is more 'down to earth', while in Kenzo you smell soft air and it is somwhere 'in the air'. At the very least Dior Addict could be the evening or special occasion fragrance developed as a series of Kenzo Amour or contrary Kenzo Amour could be the more everyday scent of Dior addict. The similarity's there. But both scents are soft and innoffensive. Very oriental, I would be glad to have both of them

BelleBeryl

heady intoxicating sweet warm sexy scent
I really like this one lasts for hours

amanda

its warm and sexy, the smell of a superwoman, strong and powerful but full of feminity

girlsrideharleys2

This is a HG of mine. Very sultry and smokey. I LOVE this perfume and will never be without it. I get compliments when I wear this. A must have for those that love vanilla-orientals.

Suseken

Addict is sexy,long lasting,wonderful warm base note with tonka and vanille.
A great oriental perfume.
Its one of my alltime favourites I never want to miss.

Vanessa Olivatti

Dior Addict is a defect of perfume and happiness.
It is a pump and dangerous sexual and sensual at the same time.

beloved boo

definitely my most favorite fragrance. It's warm, sexy, trust-worthy and gives you the feeling of being loved and embraced.

KeLLStar

I'm not quite sure about Dior Addict.

There is a smoky/musky quality (which I think may be the combination of Sandalwood + tonka bean) that makes it smell like incense.

Not for me unforunately.

Edit: Dec 08 - I think I have completely changed my mind about Dior Addict. I thought I would try it on my skin again today and really loved it! The incense was not too bad this time. The drydown reminds me a lot of Hypnotic Poison (with Incense and without the Root Beer). Nice!

guest_Kali

Very sweet. This year I smell it on many women, so Addict has some appeal. Just not a favorite for me. There is some strange note in it that smells a little funky and off to my nose.

Sicily

I don't like it, not at all. I would describe it as very heavy, rich vanilla with citruses and sun oil scent. Causes me a headache, this is the worst scent ever, stale and dirty.

lovelylavender

I'm not a big fans of oriental perfume. But, this one really got me. I like the way it make me beautiful without too much look-at-me note.

elgab89

In the house of Dior tradition, another great oriental. The fragrance is deep, noticeable and has a great base. Long lasting, a very good choice for evening wear.
