Dior Addict Eau de Parfum

**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 ... more

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 all over again by releasing "Pure Poison", which is sitting firmly on my "please darling, please" list for Valentine's Day. The one they didn't ... more

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. Just the name of this perfume sounds luxurious and it is. I had my first whiff of this perfume when wandering around a department store, usually I ... more

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 and reinforces how I feel. For instance, if I feel like a saucy temptress, then Dior Addict is the way to go. A more sophisticated mood is ... more

Will there ever come a day when I can gaze upon my almost embarassing collection of perfumes and think to myself "Sarah, you now have all the perfumes you could ever want" and stop adding new bottles to my collection? Well, it doesn't seem as if that day will be dawning anytime soon. I would like to tell you about my latest addiction, er, perfume, Dior Addict Eau de Parfum. My quickie love affair began with Addict in 2002 when it was launched, as a girlfriend of mine bought the 'fume on a whim, as she liked the box and the bottle. Luckily she also really liked the scent, and the torrid quicky ... more
