I loved this gentleman perfume; extraordinary longevity (I clarify that perfumes usually don’t last long on my skin), it feels like it lasts up to 24 hours. The top notes are quite bitter, but as they fade, the scent softens and you feel the vanilla; it’s warm and extremely attractive to any man I’ve crossed paths with. The problem is it gives me a headache, and it’s not because it’s ‘strong’ but due to one of its ingredients (I’ve detected it before with others), I think it’s Tonka Bean. If it didn’t cause that issue, it would be my personal perfume without a doubt; it’s also very exclusive and uncommon. Update: with the latest reformulation, it no longer gives me a headache, but the sillage has decreased noticeably; barely noticeable close to the skin (previously it was felt at personal distance, approx. 60 cm/1 meter). So while I still fall for it, the value of buying a Dior just to barely smell it myself isn’t justified.
I’m in love!!!! This is the perfume I was looking for; I can’t stop smelling it and it works great with my skin. It’s different from everything I’ve tried, yet it feels familiar.
When I’d already resigned myself to never finding it again, it appeared in a Facebook swap group ad offering perfumes for anything… when I saw the gold tip, I thought: no way! The worst part is that my rivals to get it offered used sneakers and sandals, and the seller paid more attention to them than to me. I asked for the price, she said she didn’t know and preferred swapping it for jeans or something, haha. I had to set the price myself… I offered $35 and she said yes… 100 ml, intact, beautiful, the exact same scent I remembered… life’s twists are strange.
Finally, I got it! After smelling it several times in perfume shops and falling in love, it’s exquisite—a sweet scent with so much elegance it’s not for any occasion: winter without time limits, autumn for afternoons and nights, spring only for nights, and summer, nothing. That’s my take.
I completely agree with Jessyibarra’s comment. I didn’t like it at all.
A perfume custom-made for the nighttime public square, for those electric bacchanals called nightclubs, for the hustle of lust and the vertigo of trance. In spirit, similar to Gucci Rush: plastic milky florals in a stupefying synthetic haze with patchouli or vanilla, smoky bourbon vanilla that reminds me of my beloved Caron Tabac Blond, metamorphosed into a ‘speed-chic’ sirena version with a long cigarette holder and silver-screen makeup, a Veronica Lake with orange bronzer and botoxed brows, photographed stumbling through L.A. Few people mention the fruity touch of Addict; my nose picks up quite a bit of juicy blackberry joined by the supersonic purple of methyl anthranilate typical of white florals, plus a cinnamon vapor that adds to that exaggerated, déclassé, hedonistic runaway-on-amphetamines aesthetic inside Lady Dior handbags. We live in a Vulgaris Era, and Dior knows it in 2002: money and status are proudly displayed with Nouveau Riche acrylic, even the buckets and rosaries have logos, which is what matters. This is the Valley of the Dolls perfume, sin mixed with strawberry pop, Galliano’s ‘Film Noir’ collection with its comic-book trench coat version covered in shiny plastic lamé and mouths painted like red-lipped batfishes. Despised by critics as a mercenary floral, I’d trade several from my collection for a gold-tip Addict because I’m blown away by that vanilla-tinted white flower explosion; compared to it, the reformulated versions are like seeing Warhol’s Marilyn Diptych but in a single color. It’s not the same; where’s the contrast, where’s the ‘pop’. I’ll keep using Addict and its three generations of re-reformulations for my Mariah Carey mood days when all I want is pink lipstick, dark glasses, a scowl, and to smell like silicon Venus in Neon Eden.
Perfection bottled as perfume. The two versions that preceded it have nothing to do with this piece of jewelry in the perfume world. What a pity they didn’t keep the original formula. My all-time favorite.
Hello everyone on Fragrantica, I’m asking those who’ve tried it: I’ve read the reviews and it’s great to know it has good longevity and lasting sillage, but what impression does it give you during the day? Thanks.
One of my favorite perfumes of all time.
It was the first Dior women’s perfume I tried and it was amazing—something queens and royalty should wear because nothing compares. It smells like summer streets but with a lovely sweetness, like a girl with long hair and rosy cheeks leaving a wave of that wonderful scent, and I fell in love. I found it long-lasting, though I know the current version doesn’t last as long, which is a shame. White flowers, jasmine, and soft vanilla, very creamy; ideal for cool and mild weather. It’s the opposite of Sauvage; Dior does wonders, this one and also the one that smells like ass. When they want to, they can. Cheers, friends.
A marvel, there’s no other way to describe it. I have the newer version and I love it, but having had the fortune to find this one, I feel the other lacks too much. This is one of the most delicious and exquisite vanillas in my collection. The opening feels very ‘green,’ meaning it doesn’t smell like a specific white flower, but a collection of them, as if walking through a garden full of flowers and freshly watered plants, with a vanilla base (very pleasant, I love that composition). Once it dries down, it’s a super sweet and woody vanilla, due to the sandalwood and tonka bean, though it’s not gourmand or childish at all; it’s a perfume that smells like sophistication to me. Eternal longevity and beastly projection, a true beast of a fragrance.
Spiced nocturnal neroli, fresh and green, with tobacco. It’s an exquisite aroma, but I’m not sure I want to wear it. I remember it and miss it, but it’s hard to use, maybe too intense. The scent is sexy, delicate, yet also persistent and sharp at the same time. That ambivalence maybe makes it sexy. It’s delicate but sharp as a knife blade. No doubt in my mind that when used well, it’s a weapon; I just didn’t know how to wield it yet.
A gorgeous vanilla, an ambered oriental flower that set a trend in perfumery. A super sexy fragrance, perfect for night, not really suitable for day. Why is it for me? Because it’s super warm. I consider it won’t please every woman, but I love feeling its scent in the air. It’s the sweetest association between sandalwood and vanilla, perfectly dosed. An iconic fragrance in modern perfumery. Projection 10/10, trail 10/10. Scent: super feminine and sexy.
I can say it’s one of the few that gathers all the ingredients to be my perfect perfume. Unique.
I always thought perfumes are for personal enjoyment and expanding your authentic personality—nothing beats one that resonates with you or matches your mood. Usually, I get cringe from all that fluff about compliments, fragrances to attract, and so on. Sure, it’s great when people say you smell good, but that mindset in men’s reviews about ‘conquering’ or ‘dropping panties’ gives me secondhand embarrassment. It’s true a great perfume amplifies your charm if you’re already charming, but it only works as the cherry on top of an already delicious cake, as the saying goes: you can’t polish turd. All this is fine until you discover this perfume. Lately, I’ve been going full feminine since I already have the designer men’s version in hand. Walking down the shelf looking for something to catch my eye, my eyes landed on this. I knew it was a classic, so I didn’t hesitate. I grabbed a tissue, sprayed it, and brought it close to my nose… holy shit, I don’t know what this perfume did to my body, but I instantly got the urge to fuck. I was alone, on a quiet, boring morning, but there it was, feeling myself getting hard as I smelled this damn scented tissue. And despite not being an aromatic delight to me, it simply makes me want to smash whoever smells it against the wall. Impressive. I’m just speaking from my experience, but if magic exists, it’s in this bottle.
A slightly nutty aura with a soft citrus touch. Even without actual nuts, it has an enveloping dry fruit scent thanks to the tonka bean, which adds a dry, warm sweetness to everything. It has so many nuances shifting between softened citrus and sweetness, creating a perfect harmony. One of those perfumes where people ask, ‘Excuse me, what are you wearing?’.
Very disappointed. Smells very vintage, doesn’t last or project at all.
On my skin, it smells super spicy with a vanilla base. It feels like a mature fragrance, something for someone dressed up. It’s not for everyone. Test before buying.
I was gifted this and at first, it felt heavy, cloying, and very dated. The first few hours were awful. By four hours, it was more bearable, but just as I started to like it, I had to shower or go to sleep. It’s not my fragrance, though people have asked for the name several times because they like it. It varies a lot on my skin; I think it works better in cold weather. Definitely not for me. I recommend testing before buying.
Looking to turn heads? This is the perfume. It has attitude, it’s a brutal classic, super potent, and you’ll never go unnoticed.
A sweet floral perfume, quite soft, it even faded off blotting paper in five minutes. It seemed promising with so many reviews, unfortunately the house Dior spends its time reformulating perfumes… they destroy them.
I ended up with three bottles I bought almost 20 years ago, back in 2005, and let me tell you it was a magnificent evocative perfume of the most brazen sensuality with an air of absolute elegance. There are no adjectives to do it justice to that version from back then: it was luxurious, splendid, magnificent, and conceived with a tough character that left a radioactive trail filling rooms. It knew how to make itself noticed and a lot. It had a smoky vanilla scent with a touch of silky rose, a boozy sandalwood that gave it that blessed orange blossom so delicious with a touch of exotic mandarin and a very oriental tonka bean. Everything was conceived for the most exquisite lust and bare passion. Let’s talk now about the current version… It’s a damn shame, a real insult, and an offense for sure. To this Dior glory they gave a good beating with their malicious reforms that only worsen the perfume’s image. It’s sad that a perfume we love, venerate, and adore is discontinued and won’t be available again, but it’s a thousand times better that they die with honor and class than to revive them with painful reformulations that alter their original DNA to offer us with terrible quality and prices not worth paying. Almost six months ago at a family party, a cousin brought said aroma and believe me, truly neither on her side, hugging her, nor even being very close to her, did a trace of this fragrance reach me. It was then, with sadness, that I understood it had become another dead perfume in life that Dior destroyed completely in the most unforgivable way.
What a wonderful perfume! The evolution of its notes is marvelous. From the first spray begins the magic: the bittersweet of the blackberry with the mandarin leaves pulls the flowers that have a predominant presence for hours, until the dry down gives that delicious peace of a sweet, slightly aldehydic vanilla, nothing cloying or harsh, a vanilla sweetened by sandalwood and tonka bean. This perfume is a true jewel, its trail is moderate and the longevity is at least 8 hours. A marvel of perfumery that earns its iconic place with every drop.
SUBlime, I LOVE IT!
I bought it on recommendation and wow, what a pleasant surprise! I never thought I’d like a women’s perfume as much as to dare to use it, especially since I usually use citrus, green, and aromatic scents, and rarely venture into woods and vanilla. How does Dior Addict smell? Imagine mixing vanilla, wood, talc, and white flowers. The result is an extremely elegant essence, be careful with sprays because it can get intoxicating. The trail and longevity exceeded my expectations. I’ve read reviews about its reformulation, but in my case, the one I bought in 2024 was a marvel.
It’s a delight, extremely sensual, the sillage is the best. Perfectly suitable for a romantic dinner night and to see what happens after.
Wow, unbeatable, I loved it. It feels like a delight from a distance, one of those powerful and overwhelming aromas. Sexy, its evolution is a spectacle. I adored this big perfume.
I wanted to like it at all costs, but it’s impossible… I love strong and striking perfumes, but there’s something in you that is too heavy… definitely and against my will, NO…
Beautiful perfume, a vanilla that envelops an aldehydic rose, soft and silky, where the night queen makes her appearance leaving that creamy, sweet note without being cloying. It’s a beauty. It’s one of those perfumes to use only on romantic occasions in cold times, or at home with the cold weighing on you and that warm, sweet sensation on the skin. A wonderful aroma that, at least on me, continues to have great longevity.
What a shame it’s so expensive, because I truly love it. Although I can’t quite distinguish the notes, as a whole it smells of almond, thanks to that fabulous vanilla that reminds me of my Gloria by Cacharel and brings back memories. My husband didn’t like it; he said it smells like rich but generic deodorant, but tastes are like colors. At 34, the perfume has to please me, not others, hehehe. I think it’s worth it; it’s a very wearable Gouardam aroma. The only thing that doesn’t work for me is that it dries down too much like sandalwood, but whatever, it’s definitely going on my wishlist.
I have this gold-capped version almost full, but it hasn’t been used in about 15 years and has lost some potency, though it’s still good. It lasts on clothes but not on skin; I have a 2017 version and this one lasts more on skin, without big differences; both liquids are red. To me, it’s floral; the flowers are very well mixed so they aren’t distinguished; the vanilla is bourbon and more sandalwood than tonka bean. To make it more floral, I layer it with Mugler’s Aura Flora Futura to highlight the night-blooming jasmine and make it a unique floral. Honestly, any version is magnificent. I use many sprays of the 2017 version, but the 2002 has a mysterious touch and higher-quality vanilla; all the notes of the 2002 are finer and more natural, carefully chosen, while the 2017 has something generic and artificial. Both last 24 hours on clothes, 6 on skin, and trail about 1 meter for about 2 hours. The old ones are worth it if they are closed in the box, because once opened, they lose notes and the aroma softens. Although I have vintage Poison bought used, three bottles, and it’s a nuclear bomb that smells up the whole house. Every time I see a vintage Christian Dior on eBay at a good price, I don’t hesitate to buy it because they are special perfumes for me.
I clearly smell the jasmine, but it’s overshadowed by something dark I can’t distinguish, leaving a scent like cologne with dried fruit. It reminds me of the pistachio yum gelato by Kayali in part; it stays creamy. It doesn’t seem annoying to me, but it’s a scent that doesn’t quite convince me. It seems like a winter perfume, or at most autumn; I wouldn’t use it in summer or spring; I think it wouldn’t feel its full potential.
When I wear it, it conveys strength, elegance, and maturity; it gives me security. It’s not for summer or winter, nor day or night; it’s for remembering a special occasion. It says: ‘here I am, take me or leave me, do what you want, but I lead, I have the last word, I am the leader, and I have the power’. It has great class; it’s not for girls or young women without personality, because they won’t like it and won’t understand it. It’s only for women who want to be remembered, with courage, strength, distinction, elegance, and that touch of sensuality.
It smells excessive, dense, and very sweet, synthetic, and even disrespectful; it crushes those near me. Every time I notice it, I run away because it gives me a brutal headache and sticks to my nose for hours without letting go. I don’t like it on myself or anyone else; it’s like stepping into a tub of thick custard. I don’t see flowers, barely fruits, just an avalanche of tetric and sticky vanilla. It sounds pretentious and overwhelming, without class. Ugh, I can’t handle it; clearly, it’s not for me.
Wow, what vanilla. It opens with a bitter touch of mandarin leaf and something fruity, but little by little, a dark and deep vanilla comes out, almost gothic (nothing of incense, but gothic in time, mystery, sepia photos with people in suits and lost gazes). Something sweet that transcends, an ancient sweet that I imagine was once. It gives me a knot in my stomach and I can’t stop smelling my hand. I smell vanilla and blackberry; it’s not a pastry or gourmand; it has something very addictive. I think it’s the night-blooming jasmine; someone said it makes you want to make love (though they said it in another way 😅). To me, it makes me want to hug my partner in a dark room and not let go; then we’ll see 😄.
I find it very heavy. At first, I thought it was masculine due to the trail, but to my surprise, it turned out to be feminine. It smells a lot of tonka bean and sandalwood; I don’t know if I tried an old bottle, because I barely smelled the vanilla; it was buried by the others. I couldn’t smell it much because I already felt it was going to give me a headache.
I see so many 2024 comments about this discontinued 2002 masterpiece that it gives the impression some confuse the fragrance with the 2014 version (the one sold now). Regarding this version, I just say it’s a delicious white floral vanilla, a unique jewel if you can find it. I like the 2014 version much, which is the modern and updated version. In my experience (I have both), the cold swallows the Addict 2014, but this 2002 version warms and accompanies; it’s very well done (I wore it at night at 0 degrees and it was noticeable).
If I had to define Dior Addict in one word, it’s ‘seductive’. It’s elegant and forces you to wear it with class; it’s not for everything, but for magical moments. It’s robust, complex, and sensual, intense and enveloping, truly intoxicating. It combines a beautiful jasmine with creamy vanilla, tonka bean, and sandalwood. Upon application, there are waves of blackberry with citrus touches, then the jasmine, orange blossom, and night-blooming jasmine (the stars of the formula) blend together, and as it settles, that glorious vanilla with its unmistakable sandalwood and hints of tonka bean. On skin, it lasts over 12 hours; on clothes, it’s infinite. The trail is high and announces its presence with force. I’m talking about the 2002 formula, a classic with many loyal fans; I’m one of them. If you want to feel unique and devour the world, this is your perfume. Wish it would never die. The difference with the new versions is the strength and that in the current ones, that intense sandalwood is lost.
I adore it, though it can be a bit strong or heavy in humid and hot climates. I wear it at night to go out or in the afternoon when it’s cold. It feels serious and sophisticated, with a balance between masculine and feminine. When I go out, jasmine and wood dominate, along with the orange blossom that gives it that feminine touch, a bit fresh that I love. There’s also something very sparkly I feel like pepper. It lasts forever on skin and clothes. I’ve received many compliments every time I wear it; it doesn’t go unnoticed and is a scent very few have felt. A few sprays work very well; it’s one of those where you don’t need to overdo it because it overwhelms. I don’t think it’s something to buy blindly.
I was left wanting to use it again because my last bottle ran out, marking the end of my era with Addict. While I’ve never been its biggest fan (I have other Dior scents I love more), I admit, as others say, it was a king of the night: imposing and demanding a special suit. Both the 2002 and 2012 versions were sweet, complex, and heavy. Don’t buy it without trying it first (if you can still find a vintage bottle). It’s bourbon vanilla, white flowers, and sandalwood to give it body… and what a body! I’m not going to try replacing it with the 2014 version, which feels flat and sharp to me; I barely remember it in the bottle because I have a thing for blue bottles.
