Addict Extrait

Which Should You Buy?
A legendary, dark, and sensual vanilla that's been tragically reformulated over the years. The original 2002 version is a confidence-boosting beast, revered by many, but its intensity means it’s definitely not for everyone.
Pearl Fragrances' Addict follows Dior's orange-blossom-and-vanilla original closely in concept, pushing the sweet vanilla base louder and earlier than Dior's more gradual reveal. The jasmine heart is thinner, reading simpler and candy-sweet rather than rich and sensuous.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its exceptional longevity and strong sillage, often described as 'beast mode', make it too overpowering for the office but perfect for dates and evening events where you want to make a statement. The opulent, dark vanilla and white floral accords lend themselves well to formal occasions and cooler weather casual wear.
Seasons
A warm vanilla-floral composition suits cooler months, where its sweetness reads cosy rather than cloying.
Occasions
Warm and inviting, it suits dates and casual wear more than the office or a formal statement.
