Addict to Life is a bright, fresh, and feminine floral fragrance centered around sparkling rose, lily of the valley, and jasmine, with subtle fruity highlights of peach, raspberry, and pomegranate. It opens with a crisp, dewy burst of fruit and floral notes—particularly a clean, radiant rose—and dries down into a soft, airy musk with a gentle, powdery depth. The scent is linear but well-balanced, offering a light, elegant, and youthful aura that feels like a spring garden in bloom. Longevity is moderately strong—lasting well beyond the typical EDT, with some users reporting up to 8 hours. Sillage is distinct but not aggressive, often described as moderate to strong initially, then fading to a faint, lingering presence. The perfume is particularly admired for its ability to feel pure and refined without being overpowering or chemical. It shines best during spring and summer, ideal for daytime wear, and works well in favor of those who appreciate simple, fresh floral compositions. While some find it slightly too soft or forgettable, others praise its sophisticated balance and presence, likening it to a refined version of Dior Forever and Ever. On the other hand, some users report rapid dissipation, strong synthetic notes, or a soapy, ‘dusty’ intensity that fades quickly or becomes irritating over time. “It’s not a red carpet scent,” says one user, “but it’s a lovely confidence booster.”
