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 - Addicted EDP
Addicted matches Dior Addict's minimalist jasmine-vanilla structure closely at the opening, but the sambac reads thinner and less narcotic once the mandarin leaf top burns off, and the vanilla settles faster than the designer's dense bourbon base.

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.

Addicted

Seasons

Also Works:
Autumn Winter

The dense jasmine-vanilla warmth suits cooler months where it doesn't compete with heat and humidity.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

The sensual jasmine heart reads best on dates and evenings out; it's too warm and narcotic for the office or sport.
