Christian Dior Addict Eau de Parfum

...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 ...
...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 ...

Review of Christian Dior Addict Eau de Parfum

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 ...

Review of Christian Dior Addict Eau de Parfum

۞ 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 ...

Review of Christian Dior Addict Eau de Parfum

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 ...

...line by Haute-Couture fashion house Christian Dior. 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. There is also a line of Addict scented bath and body products. When the perfume first was released in the states, there was a huge uproar about the advertising campaign, as it 'insulted' recovering drug addicts. The video clip which shows model ...

She then sprays herself a couple of times with perfume, and closes her eyes in pleasure, like a junkie getting a fix. The print campaign also features Miss Ross, scantily clothed in lingerie, her body beaded with sweat, and the slogan "admit it". Oooooh lala. You can check both out under www.dior.com/addict. The ...

Review of Christian Dior Addict Eau de Parfum

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 ...

Review of Christian Dior Addict Eau de Parfum

I really didn't expect to like Dior's new offering. All this over-sexy advertising, the rather scary name (I have quite enough addictions already, thank you very much), and the fact it was hailed by the women's glossies as a new classic all put me off. You see, I'd like to think of myself as too young and funky (hehe I do make myself laugh) to wear a so-called "classic" perfume which is usually reserved for middle aged, boring, safe people. So it ...
..."Addict" in my local department store. I was, however, instantly hooked. I kept doing that irritating thing of sniffing my arm all day, just to remind myself that I smelt gorgeous. I'd accidentally sprayed some on my top, and the next time I wore it, I couldn't help smelling myself. It was really quite disturbing. I don't usually react to perfumes that way at all. I was soon to be found covering myself in "Addict" every time I ventured into a perfume ...

Review of Christian Dior Addict Eau de Parfum

I bought this last week as a treat (bad day at work) It did cost me £39 for 50ml from Boots, but I think it was probably worth it as now my other half can't keep his hands off me (oo-er). The other price I noted was £24 for 20ml. The perfume was designed by Thierry Wasser (from Firmenich, the Swiss fragrance manufacturer) and is Dior's first floral oriental. The blend is nightflower, rose, jasmine, orange blossom, sandalwood and bourbon vanilla. ...
...and Poison tend to bring on an asthma attack with me, and they make my fiance sneeze his head off. However, not so with Dior Addict. The smell is quite masculine in a way, it's musky and very, very sexy. I would probably describe it as Hugo Dark Blue for girls. In addition, the bottle is a very classy midnight blue glass affair, with a goldtone spray button, and a twisty top, so you don't spray the inside of your handbag endlessly. Again, as with ...

Review of Christian Dior Addict Eau de Parfum

I received a little sample of this in a pack when I purchased some other Dior products. It was a little miniature bottle, about 10mls (can't remember exactly as it's all gone!). The size was perfect to pop in your handbag. This lasted me a couple of months and after this I purchased a larger bottle and moisturiser set. I really liked that you could buy a moisturiser with the perfume as I like to layer my fragrance. However it would've liked the size ...
...smaller than the perfume and you obviously use more moisturiser at a time than perfume, therefore you can't use it all the time. One of the things I love the most about this fragrance is you don't need to use much of it and the smell will stay with you the whole day/night. You can even smell it on yourself hours after application, the first time I've ever found this with a perfume (lets face it if you purchase an expensive perfume it's nice to be ...

...your face' as the 1980's Christian Dior favourite Poison. It's difficult to describe what it smells like, it has tones of vanilla,yet smells quite exotic/spicy once the fragrance has settled on you. Perhaps it is easier to say what it doesn't smell like - it isn't a light fragrance, or fresh and 'citrus-y'. I wear this perfume every day. I spray it on at 7am and I can go out that evening still smelling sweet.I have quite oily skin which is a bonus ...
...has very dry skin and this perfume smelt horrible on her so do make sure you try before buying! All the major department stores should still have free trial size samples as it is a new scent. Since buying this I have checked out the make-up Dior have bought out in the Addict range. Again the items are beautifully designed all in the same colour scheme - poison blue with the distinctive gold button lids. Obviously this fragrance is not cheap - I ...

Review of Christian Dior Addict Eau de Parfum

Dior addict is the first "proper" perfume that I ever bought. I found it when on holiday in Ibiza in a huge discounted perfume store which me and my friend used to stop at for ages every day. I've always been a big fan of Dior perfume, and this in particular has a very deep and sensual smell that truly is extremely addictive. I lost my bottle of this about a year ago, and just writing about it now has totally brought back the smell of it to me, even ...
...night time, it is very strong and sexy, and whenever I wore it I always had a lot of compliments on it (especially from guys). Although its definitely more of an evening perfume in my view, I would often put on a tiny bit during the day as well. It's also a distinctively Dior perfume, with a rich smell that is easily recognisable. I don't have any personal negative points because I love the perfume, but maybe for someone who's more into lighter, ...

Review of Christian Dior Addict Eau de Parfum

I got this perfume thanks to my mother. This summer I will only carry this perfume around with me - it is fresh and just really reminds me of summer which makes a nice change to all those rainy days. There are 3 main ingredients in this perfume to give it energy: the Queen of the Night, the Fleur of Arbre with Silk and sensuality: Vanilla Bourbon. It's the new scent of the summer. The bottle is an extremely good design so not something you will ...

Review of Christian Dior Addict Eau de Parfum

Well, Where do I start? It was one saturday afternoon and I needed a new signature perfume. I went round all the usual places as I hunted for my new smell that would make me distinctive from the rest of the ladies in the bars and clubs. I tried on so many different ones and most of them where the same old fruity or bland smells that you coudn't really tell the difference between. I thought that was it, I was doomed to smell like everyone else! ...
...any of Diors products before as I thought it's just too pricey for me and I didn't see the point of paying out for just another perfume. How wrong I was! I sprayed it on, my first thought was " umm this is really nice" it was a warm smell, comforting yet sexy. Just what I was looking for. I would be able to wear it on a sunday afternoon when visiting parents or when going out with the girls on the town. I sprayed it on my jacket and the smell lingered ...

Review of Christian Dior Addict Eau de Parfum

It smells warm, sexy and myserious. It is such a distinctive and unusual scent unlike so many other perfumes that just smell like each other. I have been "using" for a few years now and completely hooked. I love the unfussy and chic bottle with its little gold "twist and lock" top. It is perfect for a handbag as there is no lid to loose and the bottle is slim and compact. Dior products are always such excellent quality and they make great gifts ...
