What it smells like
The story
Charm by Verset Parfums is a highly regarded dupe for Dior Addict, with a rich, sweet, and slightly floral vanilla base that closely mirrors the classic Dior fragrance. It opens with a bright blackberry note, leading into a soft jasmine sambac heart, before settling into a warm, creamy vanilla with subtle dry sandalwood and hay-like undertones. The perfume projects strongly and leaves a vibrant, orange-red appearance on the skin, making it essential to avoid light clothing. While longevity is considered moderate—lasting around 3 to 4 hours on most skin types—the intensity and quality justify reapplication, especially for those seeking a budget-friendly alternative to the original Dior Addict.

What We Love
- Excellent price-to-quality ratio, making it one of the most accessible dupe options
- Strong sillage and projection, especially in the first hour
- Easily identifiable as a close match to vintage Dior Addict with a refined, soft sweetness
Worth Knowing
- Can stain light-colored fabrics due to the bright red liquid
- Longevity is moderate, falling short of the original Dior Addict's endurance
- Develops a noticeable hay note in dry-down, which some find unnecessary
