Addict 2002

“This gives strong, feminine, mysterious, indepependent, confident vibes. It's sexy, but not "date night" sexy for me, more boss lady sexy. Like I imagine a female CEO wearing this.The sillage is a 10 and longevity 10, most sillage and lasting power of any perfume I've tried. I get woody, vanilla and a lot of powder. I do get a green smell in the beginning which I don't like but it gets better when it dries down.The dry down reminds me of Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille but TF is way more creamy/ gourmand whereas DA is more powdery/vanilla.”

“My batch code shows me that my bottle is the original formulation, circa 2004 and pre-2007. Over the years I had tested the newer formulations at Sephora and let me just say the original formulation really is a gorgeous, superior version. The newer ones felt so pale and flat in comparison, whereas the original is a very creamy, luscious, narcotic white floral with mysore sandalwood and blackberry and a very smooth and rich vanilla and tonka bean base. I now understand why people say this is a very sexy scent. Absolutely worth the money if you can get a vintage.”

“Simply stunning!The main note is vanilla, but thanks to the perfect mix of florals it's not at all cloying or sweet. Addict is cosy, soft, perfect for winter. The longevity and sillage are both astounding, a real compliment grabber too. I will never be without Dior Addict.”
