Dior Addict Eau Fraiche (for women)

I always have it in my closet ! It is a fresher and lighter version of the Edp which I love, but more wearable. Also, I can notice a very natural and pleasant "Night Blooming Cereus
" note though it isn't listed in the eau fraiche version. Lovely !

Love Eau Fraiche, have used several bottles of it, but disappointed it is eau de toilette as the fragrance really does not last long unlike the original Addict

A really good job of Dior, absolutley wonderful, worth every penny! Light, seductive and uplifting too.

I encouraged myself to test this fragrance after I completed an internet quiz on 'what fragrance is best suited to you?' Dior Addict Eau Fraiche and Chanel No.19 were the recommendations.

I managed to find this fragrance during my trip into the city where I promptly applied a few sprays to my wrist. My first impressions were, "this is not my type of perfume". The top notes were really heavy with the citruses and didn't appeal to my flowery and sweet tastes at all.

I continued on with my shopping and it wasn't until I was travelling home that I smelt my wrist and the look of surprise and amazement crossed my face. My nose was met with a deliciously pretty floral heart of jasmine, tuberose, gardenia and freesia.

Never in my life had I come across a fragrance with such definitive differences between the top and middle notes. I was somewhat happy and disappointed that this fragrance had transformed itself from being something that I disliked to something I thoroughly enjoyed in a matter of hours.

I have considered purchasing this fragrance, but for the price I can't imagine myself doing so. If it wasn't for the fruity top notes, I would have gladly handed over the cash.

I must add that the lasting power is excellent for this fragrance and that the bottle, in my opinion, is much more attractive than the original Dior Addict.

For people that don't mind fruity florals, or refreshing citrus scents, I highly recommend you try Dior Addict Eau Fraiche as it would make a fantastic Summer fragrance to add to your wardrobe.

I delayed trying this fragrance out as I thought it would be another "copy" like Dior Addict Shine was to Dior Addict II.

Walking past it today, I thought I would give it a sniff.

WOW! what a fresh and enticing fragrance! It's extremely citrusy at first spray, and settles down into a creamy citrus floral that is reminicent of the original Dior Addict (it has similar vanilla & sandalwood notes) but not a copy. Very nice! Not sure if I want to buy it, but it was great to try!

PS: Being a very sweet fresh fragrance it's bordering on sickly sweet - be careful how much you spray.

UPDATE: April '09 - I finally bought Eau Fraiche. I've had my eye on it, and kept the spray card from when I originally wrote this review - the spray card STILL has the scent on it, months later! I really love this scent now. It's so fresh, luring & feminine at the same time. :)

It lasts all day on me, and has a great sillage. I smell whiffs of Dior Addict Eau Fraiche throughout the day which acts like aromatherapy, making me happy. It's just gorgeous.

Highly recommended!

Don't know if I would wear it in summer, but now it is rainy and cold in Holland (no suprise there) and I just purchased a bottle of eau fraiche and love it, especially in this weather. The original is a little too much for my taste.
