...Dior Addict**
Christian Dior launched a new line back in 1998 (Released in the UK 2002); called… you guessed it, "Dior Addict". Obviously being a new line, it consisted of more than a single product, there were lip liners, lip glosses, lip colours, eye-shadow, eye-liner and matching nail varnishes available and then also 2 fragrances were released: "Dior Addict" - their first floral fragrance and "Dior Addict ... ...makes this fragrance unique to Christian Dior.

**Introduction**
A few weeks ago I went into town on a Saturday afternoon with my partner. Of course, we went into the highstreet store - Boots. Like most women are prone to doing… I walked straight off towards the perfume section of the store and started spraying all those lovely scents on display that they have as testers. I have always been an avid lover of 'Christian Dior' products, so when I clapped my eyes on a bottle of perfume that I had yet to come across I was compelled to have a couple of sprays…. Like anyone would do, right?
"I was in love with this scent as soon as it landed on my wrist!"
I didn't have enough spare money to buy myself a bottle; as I was saving for my holiday to Amsterdam. I dropped a very large hint to my partner (As us women do), telling him that for our anniversary I wouldn't mind a bottle… I then left it at that.
Fortunately for me; my partner picked up on my previous hint, so while we were out in Holland he bought me a 50ml bottle of the Eau De Parfum Natural Spray. I was wearing the biggest smile for days after getting this perfume... Lucky me!
This brings me to my review of this spectacular fragrance…..
"Dior Addict - 50ml Eau De Parfum Natural Spray"
**Christian Dior - Dior Addict**
Christian Dior launched a new line back in 1998 (Released in the UK 2002); called… you guessed it, "Dior Addict". Obviously being a new line, it consisted of more than a single product, there were lip liners, lip glosses, lip colours, eye-shadow, eye-liner and matching nail varnishes available and then also 2 fragrances were released: "Dior Addict" - their first floral fragrance and "Dior Addict Eau Fraîche". After realising the success of this line, Christian Dior released additional products to enhance its popularity; the range of "Addict" bath and body products have become a huge hit - a beautiful range of items that I will certainly be trying in the near future.
**Packaging**
Outer Packaging:
Wow, this is just so girly… the packaging of this scent is very different from most perfume boxes you see on the perfume counters. The bottle comes packaged in a holographic box, which shines various whites/pinks and purples when in different lights. It stands approximately 4" tall x 2" wide. It hasn't been cluttered with lots of writing - the design is simple and very effective on the buyer… the words "Dior Addict" run vertically along the left hand side of the front panel and are deep pink in colour.
At the bottom of the front panel, there is an imprint reading… "Dior". This is in a matching white font to enhance the holographic effect and then followed underneath is text stating the volume of the bottle and the fragrance type. The front of the box is mirrored on the back of it as well. The outer packaging really will appeal to any girly girl. If you were to describe this scent by designing a box, then Dior have done it just right… simple, stylish, sweet, girly, pretty and erotic yet still being simple.
Bottle:
Standing upright, this simple and yet sophisticated bottle has a square appearance and stands at just over 3.5" in height. The bottle itself is a very deep dark blue and when sitting on a shelf you cannot see through it, yet if you hold it up to the light you can easily see the amount of perfume left inside. The spraying nozzle has been integrated into the upper quarter of the bottle. There isn't a lid to this bottle; instead there is just a very obvious gold protruding round knob which is placed on the top of the bottle. You turn this knob left to right (0-1) to open and close the spray nozzle. To actually spray the perfume you simply press lightly on the protruding knob and the scent simply squirts out. There is only a small amount of text on the bottle which runs up to the top right corner and is gold in colour. It reads "Dior Addict". The bottle sits proudly on my perfume shelf and definitely looks very sophisticated and stylish.
**Fragrance**
Released in 2002 (Can't believe it took me this long) this fragrance is so very sensual and is perfect for day or evening wear. I find it to be very sultry and sensual so it will certainly make you feel very sexy while wearing it. I also find it to be a very femininely oriental fragrance, which gives you a lovely refreshing energy while wearing it.
Its base notes are: vanilla, jasmine, orange blossom, rose and mandarin yet all the while, included are the warming notes of sandalwood and as I believe, the tonka bean as well. I can't really distinguish a particular note from this wildly combined scent when wearing it… a lot of perfumes tend to smell more of one note than the other, but this has such a combination that it has resulted in an exhilarating scent with a smell that is tremendously unique.
'Dior Addicts' top notes are blends of the silk tree flower, night queen flower and bourbon vanilla absolute. These top note combinations, combined with the base notes just compliment each other 100%, I cannot enhance the individuality of this scent enough… it just rests on your nose all day/evening, allowing you to over-indulge in the moment of femininity and sheer sexiness.
These notes have never been combined before which makes this fragrance unique to Christian Dior. The silk flower is very rare to grow and thus resulting in a very individual combination perfect for any Dior lover. Every time I have worn this scent I have had lovely comments from everyone (men as well), they ask me what it is I'm wearing as it smells wonderful and the females ask if they can have a spray. Somehow I feel this 50ml bottle won't be hanging around long as everyone wants to try it although normally a 50ml bottle lasts me about 12 - 18 months.
**Linger**
As I have the 'Eau De Parfum' of this fragrance I will only comment on the lasting effect of this… I find that a spray on each wrist in the morning is still lingering by early evening although it does wear off a bit. If I am going out I tend to re-apply it to my wrists and have a squirt on my neck as well, this way I know I will be feeling and smelling beautiful all evening with this floral and erotic scent.

**Overall Summery**
This fragrance is beautiful, sensual, erotic and sexy, light, non greasy, stylish, unique, modern, funky and has certainly been produced to the highest standards. This fragrance just compliments any woman down to the finishing touch for a night out. It will lay on any mans nose for an evening so as I imagine, it would be a great one to wear out a date.
**Recommendation**
This perfume is definitely one of my favourites to date. I find it to be very aromatic and sensual not to mention super sexy. It is reasonably priced for a 50ml bottle and should last you quite a while. If you like floral or oriental notes then this must be tried. I would recommend you have a spray from a tester bottle first as all perfumes smell different to each individual person.
4 S*T*A*R* rate from me as a bottle can be quite pricey.
Now is it just me, or have Dior done incredibly well with their perfume range of late? First of all we had the delicious "J'adore", which was at the same time classy and wearable; then they introduced the out-of-this-world "Addict", whose unusual dramatic and sexy scent became nothing short of a national obsession - to the extent that I'm not sure I know any female who doesn't own a bottle; and recently they've made us fall in love with the brand ... ...firmly on my "please darling, please" list for Valentine's Day.
The one they didn't promote to the same extent as the others over the last few years was "Addict Eau Fraiche". Obviously it's a diffusion line from the original Addict, but Dior put relatively little effort into advertising their new creation. So little, in fact, I only encountered it on a chance stroll round Harvey Nicks (No, I never buy anything in there - but I like to pretend I ...

۞ Christian Dior - Addict ۞
I didn't really 'discover' perfume until well into my teenage years when I suddenly realised that, besides a few cans of Charlie Red and the odd testers scattered around my room, I didn't actually own a bottle of perfume. Since then I seem to have gathered a nice little collection - well, some nice, some not so nice, so it's about time I got started with my reviewing of some of them…
Christian Dior, Addict. ... ...of what suits you.
Christian Dior are such a well known quality and trusted brand that you know when purchasing from them you are getting your moneys worth. The cost of the perfume is, admittedly, expensive, therefore maximising the importance that you shop around to get a good bargain! If your not sure about this perfume, larger department stores will often give you free samples to take home and try, or if not eBay are full of perfume samples for ...

Advantages: Lighter than the original, more versatile Disadvantages: Still a bit expensive for everyday use.
Perfume is one of those luxury items that can evoke a whole range of feelings. If it is given to you as a gift, it can make you feel incredibly pampered. If you treat yourself, it feels very decadent. Some perfume may remind you of someone you once knew, and others can start a lifelong romance with fragrance. Dior's new offering in the Addict range - Eau Fraiche is certainly one of the latter. To me, perfumes have personalities, and what I wear indicates ... ...like a saucy temptress, then Dior Addict is the way to go. A more sophisticated mood is brought by Calvin Klein's Eternity, and a fun, frivolous mood is reflected by Cacharel's Gloria. If I feel like a more restrained, yet still worldly, young woman of fashion, then the new Eau Fraiche fits the bill perfectly. The perfume is ideal for daytime wear, unlike the original, which is a mite too heavy for working and casual occasions. The best way to describe ...

The line consists of lipsticks, nail varnish, fabulous lipglosses, liquid lip colour and two scents; Dior Addict Eau de Parfum and Dior Addict Eau Fraîche.

Advantages: distinctiveness, bottle and packaging Disadvantages: the smell
This fragrance was first released by Dior in 2002, the perfumer responsible for it was Thierry Wasser. It is generally placed into the oriental category, and is described as having a sophisticated sensuality. The name and the initial TV advert caused quite a controversy among recovering drug addicts.
At first I was hesitant to write a review about something I really don't like. But people's comments on my last two Dior reviews show that many find ... ...experience anyway, and I'll do my best to be fair and informative with it.
A while ago I smelled Addict for the first time on paper. Honestly, I was just interested in the bottle. This understated design really appeals to me. I hoped that I would like the navy one best. Ironically, as I'm not at all a pink person, I only like and wear Addict 2. At the time I quickly dismissed this one and the Eau Fraiche version. As on other occasions, it turned ...
