Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Addict EDP
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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Flawless EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Christian Dior Addict - a floral fragrance led by Blackberry, with fruity depth. Expect a softer, closer-to-skin take on the original - the signature intact, the projection gentler.

Season and Occasion Fit

Addict

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

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.

Flawless

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

The floral character is happiest in spring and summer - the freshness reads bright and clean in milder weather; the dupe's lighter build means it can struggle to project in the opposite season.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Its floral, fruity signature leans toward casual and daily wear - approachable enough for date use without overwhelming a room.
