Dior Addict
Eau de Toilette, Christian Dior (2014)

EDP

She wearing a velvet gown in the moonlight on a cliff with the wind blowing flowers&vanilla off her dress flowing, with a glass of wine, in the arms of a handsome man. Her skin milky white and soft her scent addictive, alluring, but never in him face. She doesn't need to command people come to her. If you havent tried the origial addict 2002 go straight to this one. It is better than the 2012 version but overall less depth, dark and sexy than the original. This one is definitely very feminine assertive yet sweet at the same time. Yes, it is heavy on the vanilla, but it mixed with fresh floral notes so it is not overwhelmingly sweet.

There is a freshness from the mandarin which awakens you and prepares you for what is to come. As it settles the richness from the florals blended with the pure burborn vanilla screams class! Then the seduction begins to take over, before you know it you are captivated and drawn in by the deep sensual aroma of the subtle yet prominent sweet notes.it makes a sexy in a mature way, not the young-playful kind of way, but something more like "I am a woman with a strong personality and I am not here to play childish games". Addict is reserved for evenings spent out, partying backstage with the band. It is completely different to all the fresh, sweet florals so many people wear these days. Perfect for an oriental girl who does not want to suffocate the others with too much sandalwood or arabic notes or cinnamon etc. Totally i advice not to wear this with your sneakers and a sweater, it works at it's best when the clothes are also serious maybe a pencil skirt with stilettos or a little black dress.

Weak, boring, generic, very short-lived, no depth or character. Very much like Chanel Chance Eau Tendre / Marc Jacobs Daisy and the rest of the herd of inoffensive white florals that are popular with perfumeaphobics these days.

Enjoyed this perfume. After application the dry down scent is mandarin with a little vanilla. I can't really tell sandalwood is present. Fairly good longevity for an Eau De Toilette scent. Will probably try the full strength perfume next time.
