Dior Addict Eau Fraiche Dior for women

Did you know that women who wear grapefruit based fragrances are perceived to be younger and weigh less than their real body weight? Yes, this is what I just heard about the notes of grapefruit in women's fragrances.

I spritzed this with three of the Poison fragrances at the Christian Dior Macy's counter in Carlsbad.

This fragrance was over powered initially by the Poison perfume sprayed on my other arm, that clearly led with more punch and a lot more power the first hours. About 8 hour into this, the dry down is gorgeous smelling and really lasts. This is now about 15 hours into the fragrance and it is still lingering on my arm. I will definitely have to give this another try, but do so where it is not over powered by a scent like Poison.

This is a sparkly and playful fruity floral perfume which i like a lot! I got it as a present and honestly am very pleased. The perfume is fresh and perfect for a summer day. The first notes i could smell were fresh citruses. After about 20 minutes i could smell lotus and freesia with a kick of bergamot. For the base, i smelled sweet raspberry and some woodsy notes. The longevity of this fragrance is pretty long, and the sillage is pretty light. Great for younger audience!! Overall, great perfume!!

Very similar to Versace Bright Crystal. As a big fan of Addict and of the original, first ever Addict Eau Fraiche, I cannot understand how they can call this perfume Addict. It is just irrelevant!

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

i find this 2 be a soft, sweet, girly n long lastin fragrance. great for office wear.
but definitely not good for those who want to gain attention as sillage is bad.

I dont know much about perfumes but have tried quite a bit during my life and I know what I like.
As for this one, I have to admit I fell in love with it from the very first spray. I don't like extreme fragrances that capture too much attention or leave a trail and I also appreciate fragrances that are well rounded and have brilliant notes, more like the citrus family. I consider this Eau Fraiche very much citrus at the beginning and then mellowing down to something creamy. I think it could be worn by different age groups since its not too modern or too traditional.
I personally give it two thumbs up.

Il loooOOOOOOOOOOve him! I search this perfume 1 year maybe more! He's, fresh, soapy, girly, sexy, womenY! Young, and very sensual girl, after 1 hour, like us...
15, 20, 30 40 years and like a butterfly, we are, sensual! :)

I usually wear the original Dior Addict- which for those of you who have smelt it, are aware it is extremely strong and musky. My boyfriend always liked it, but after getting a grapefruity shower gel set for christmas he told me grapefruit/citrusy smells were his favourite. I searched around for perfumes with prominent grapefruit and citrus notes and was pleased to find Eau Fraiche contained them as I'm such a big fan of the original, and so I purchased it.

Very different for me, the initial spritz is almost sharp with citrus, but it dries down to a delicious, fresh smell of floral and grapefruit that my boyfriend loves! So good news for me. Although no where near as strong as the original, however it stays close to the skin, so even when you think the smell has faded I am often reminded by my boyfriend of how nice I smell. Such a lovely, girly and feminine scent (not overly sweet, or floral, or fruity- a perfect balance.) However when I fancy something with a little more oomph, for a night out maybe, I reach for the original Addict. Still, a really classy and feminine scent.

Just tried this @ sephora today - a quick spritz on my chest and another on my wrist.

at first burst its almost slightly overwhelming, but give it a few minutes- it became beautiful, and by the time i got home i was absolutely in LOVE.

even now, i can detect some perfume on my skin- about 9 hours later. keep in mind this is the least potent perfume - eau fraiche has barely any oil in it.

I love how feminine this smells. when i read other reviews with 'feminine' as a characteristic, i immediately think 'not for me. itll be sickening'. but now i understand how "feminine" should really smell - soft, alluring, romantic, sparkling, clean.

if i had to describe this perfume in one word, it would be 'sparkling'.

as for the comparisons - its not cloying and sharp like versace bright crystal - think of versace as a cosmopolitan and dior as a flute of refreshing champagne. However, its not as low-key as brit sheer - again, using the beverage simile, if dior is refreshing champagne, then brit sheer is a light dessert wine.

I wanted to try the lighter version of Dior Addict. So, I went to Sephora and got a nice sample of Addict Fraiche. I really liked it, but I have just one problem. It has no lasting power. I like my perfume to last through an entire day without it being overpowering. Wasting money for an expensive scent that doesn't last is a no no. And I refuse to be a habitual perfume sprayer. I will use the sample until its gone, but I doubt if I will ever purchase.

At first I hate Addict 2 as i'd thought it's too sharp but after a while, the packaging was changed and I only worried about my Addict to Life but I kinda relieved that the Eau Sensuelle remain the same juice and then I also asked for Eau Fraiche and I fell in love with it. It's fresh clean but not too cute or innocent. It's fun bright lively perfume which speaks my happy mood so I bought it and I love love love it. BTW the bottle is even more gorgeous with the shading pink from the bottom and transparent top. My guy friend hug me and said "I luv this smell. You smell sooooo gooood. " :)

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???

There seems to be the idea these days that grapefruit is the freshest scent on Earth. Maybe it is, but it is a scent whose sourness I am not fond of and whose appeal I do not entirely grasp. Plus the fact that it is becoming too repetitive ,now there is grapefruit scent everywhere, and this perfume does strongly smell of grapefruit in the opening, which lasts for quite a while. Slowly, the sourness of grapefruit is replaced by the extreme lemonish acidity of pomegrenade, and that is mostly what I get from this perfume. Very similar to I love love and lots of other scents, and for that reason, I give it zero in creativity. Staying power is, from my viewpoint, quite good though. It is not an unpleasant scent, but with so many previous similar attempts, it would be surprising if its creators did not get some expertise from them.

I really wanted to like this. After seeing the (extremely cool) advert I was so ready to buy what they were selling. However I was disappointed by the perfume itself once I tried it. It's a nice scent, don't get me wrong, but not nearly as punchy and rock and roll as I was expecting. Just smells like a nice fruity shower gel to me, and there was almost no lasting power. Fine if you have that kind of money to throw around on something just "nice", but I'm going to have to continue to hold out for that special "something", because sadly this isn't it.

OK so i am actually really starting to like this fragrance more and more its so delicious and young sexy and girly

Daphne groeneveld is a real life Barbie in the Dior addict ads

I really want to get this perfume, but I'm concerned about it's lasting power!

nice smell but its lasting power is not good and its weak have to spray it like 50 times

very light and sweet and girly the commercial perfectly reflects the fragrance bought a 50ml bottle of it today.

its sexy in a sweet way perfect for young girls

To Radchick. Addict 2 and Addict Eau Fraiche are the same perfume, but different names. At the Dior counter in one of the shops, they told me they had renamed Addict 2 to Addict Eau Fraiche. So don't buy them both, 'cause you'll have 2 of the same.

I've never smelled the version of Eau Fraiche previous to this one, so I have no expectation. I find this to be very similar to Addict 2. I smell mostly grapefruit and bergamot, with a few florals. I find this to be a bit bitter but otherwise smells cool and fresh. I don't think anyone necessarily needs to own both Eau Fraiche and Addict 2.

I just want to comment on the scent here. Candy in a bottle. Some red berries, I believe. Maybe strawberries and raspberries that makes it sweet, mixed with flowers and vanilla to make it creamy. There's citrus in this mix too. I see not all of these mentioned notes are listed, but that's what my brain thinks it smells like. Smells very good. But unfortunately it's a scent I've smelled on 100 others. It's far, far from unique and nothing like Addict at all. You can't smell one ounce of Addict in this one. Like with the Poisons, you can tell with each different Poison, that it is a Poison. If you smell this fragrance, without knowing it's Addict Eau Fraiche, you couldn't tell in a million years that it's related to Addict. So being a scent(although a nice one) that so many other fragrances smells like, I think it's ridiculously overpriced. Please bring back the old Eau Fraiche that was exciting!

I agree with others that it's nothing like the old Eau Fraiche. It's like night and day, completely different. If they're gonna relaunch an old fragrance with new reformulation, why can't they use the SAME "nose" to reformulate so it will smell the same as the old one. It's a rip off. Their best fragrances are reformulated to smell completely different. I wonder how this will affect Dior in the future. I think there are tons of disappointed Dior fans out there, buying their fragrances they've used since the 80s or 90s and then find out they're different. Oh Dior, what are you doing!

Hmmm.. this is nothing like my original Addict eau Fraiche - but it is a dead ringer for Addict Shine!

Instantly reminds me of Baby Doll.

i haven't yet tried this perfume but im so want it in my collection the cool pink bottle and the weird commercial

I did try it and I am totally in love with it. It´s so sensual, uplifting, I would say a little sexy for me. I don´t know why but I smell raspberry. It´s little sweet, but not in a bad way, very citrusy and musky. Nothing extra special but I adore it. Love the bottle. The video belongs to the scent for sure. Bold, interesting girl wants to put the guys on their knees. YESS - great job!! It drives me crazy... :DD

When I went do Diors counter in one of the shops and asked for Addict 2, she gave me this and said this was called Addict 2. What's the truth? Addict 2 and Addict Eau Fraich, are those two the same but with a different name?

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.

Dior Addict "Be iconic" - not so iconic in my opinion.
Fraîche, maybe, but boring. Dior isn't what it used to be.

It's nice, fresh fruity, perfect for hot summer days. Lasting power is not bad for an EDT, (This reminds me of Anna Sui Secret Wish).

I'm in love with the bottle and i really need a light fragrance within my collection.

I bought this one online thinking it was the old one as that's what the picture indicated. Sadly, it's NOTHING like the old one which I only had a tiny decant of and it's all gone now. Anyway, this is fresher and pink and more sparkling but kinda none specific sparkling. It is very pleasant and wearable, especially on a hot sunny day but the longevity is not great, immediate projection is pleasant does not last very long.
It is a nice scent but it's nothing special, unfortunately.

What a dissapointment! Not even a bit similar to previous eau fraiche :(

Ok, I've got it. Unfortunately, it's nothing special,very unlike Dior... Reminds me of Versace Bright Cristal or The Beat Burberry. Will use it though, it's pleasant enough...

Fresh, floral, fruity. Pretty but nothing special!

Great add! Makes me happy :)

boy you should have seen my face, I thought they were relaunching my old beloved!!!!! I wish to smell this one too also, of course but,....*sigh* anyway hope it'll come here ASAP just to quench my curiosity.
