Dior Addict Eau de Parfum (2014) is a rich, characterful vanilla floral with a distinct green-herbal opening. It features a powerful, smooth vanilla base that is deeply ripe and not overly sweet, balanced by a vibrant jasmine sambac and energizing citrus notes from mandarin leaf. The perfume transforms into a sophisticated, slightly spicier, and warmly seductive scent on the skin, with a notable depth and tenacity. It functions as a confident, intimate fragrance with bold projection, particularly strong during colder months and evening wear. It appeals to those who enjoy powerful, luxurious perfumes with a mature, passionate character, and it's considered a standout choice for date nights or special occasions. While some find its green notes prominent and challenging, the overall effect is one of elegant indulgence and magnetic force, leaving a lasting impression on those who feel it resonates with their style. The scent is particularly notable for how it develops with time, becoming deeply primal and appealing to those seeking a deeply sensual, modern flower vaneille experience. It's not for the faint of heart or those seeking a light, subtle, or universally approved scent. The performance is exceptional, leaving a lingering, prominent hallway on the skin and clothes yet never feeling inert. The bottle is minimalistic, adding to its contemporary, grounded elegance.
