The first Dior Addict fragrance, created by perfumers Christian Dussoulier and Thierry Wasser, made quite a splash when launched in 2002. This vanilla-heavy white floral scent certainly lived up to its name.
Twelve years later, Dior enlisted the help of François Demachy to create three new Addict fragrances that captured the addictive nature of the original.
Dior Addict Eau de Toilette is fresh and uplifting, Dior Addict Eau de Parfum is rich and sensual, and finally, Dior Addict Eau Fraîche brings a touch of sparkle to the collection.
So, if you’re a Dior fragrance fan like myself, buckle up; we’re in for a fragrant ride that’s as thrilling as it is aromatic!
Best Dior Addict Perfumes
Explore the best Dior Addict perfumes, a luxurious collection of three fragrant masterpieces that combine elegance with a touch of Dior daring.
1. Dior Addict Eau de Toilette
Review
Dior Addict Eau de Toilette is an uplifting white floral creation from perfumer François Demachy that oozes subtle elegance.
The scent opens with a zesty punch of Sicilian mandarin, a sunny greeting that slowly dances into a heart of Sambac jasmine — floral, yet with a touch of exotic warmth.
Upon drying down, it settles on a bed of sandalwood, grounding the fragrance with a delicate, creamy, soft finish.

Jasmine Sambac
Base Notes:
Seasons & Longevity
I find this little gem shines brightest in the spring and summer, perfect for those days when you want to feel effortlessly chic, whether you’re brunching under the sun or strolling through a park.
In terms of staying power, Dior Addict EDT is the kind of scent that lingers subtly, making its presence known without overwhelming it.
2. Dior Addict Eau de Parfum
Review
Dior Addict Eau de Parfum is a bolder interpretation of the Addict collection with a sensual warmth that is as addictive as the perfume’s name suggests.
I love the opening note of orange blossom; it’s like stepping into a Mediterranean garden in bloom.
The heart of jasmine adds a layer of intoxicating depth, while the base of sweet Bourbon vanilla wraps it all in a warm, luxurious embrace.
Top Notes:
Orange Blossom
Mid Notes:
Jasmine
Base Notes:
Bourbon Vanilla
Seasons & Longevity
Ideal for the cooler months, this Eau de Parfum thrives in autumn and winter, its warmth a perfect counter to the chill in the air.
And it lasts—oh, it lasts—enveloping you in its embrace well into the night. It’s a scent to save for special occasions.
3. Dior Addict Eau Fraîche
Review
Now, for a breath of fresh air, the Eau Fraîche. It’s a vibrant, sparkling rendition of the Dior Addict line and similar to Versace Bright Crystal.
The opening note of bergamot is citrusy and invigorating, a perfect wake-up call. Soon, Freesia and Lily Of The Valley bring a light, floral freshness that’s as breezy as a spring day.
In the base, sensual white musk in the base adds a subtle mystique, a clean finish that feels like freshly laundered sheets—Dior style.
Top Notes:
Mid Notes:
Freesia, Lily Of The Valley
Base Notes:
White Musk
Seasons & Longevity
Spring and summer are the playgrounds of the Eau Fraîche. I find it’s best for those casual, laid-back occasions, adding a touch of sophistication without ever trying too hard.
I found it the poorest of the three in terms of longevity, lasting only a few hours before becoming a skin scent.
Ingrid’s Top Pick
Dior Addict Eau de Parfum
My top pick of the collection is Dior Addict Eau de Parfum due to its head-turning blend of white florals and bourbon vanilla. Ideal for any occasion, especially evening-wear.
Conclusion
The Dior Addict perfume collection is masterfully blended by perfumer François Demachy, and aside from Eau Fraîche, I found the performance pretty good.
From the sunny embrace of the Eau de Toilette to the warm allure of the Eau de Parfum and the refreshing sparkle of the Eau Fraîche, there’s an elegant Allure scent for any occasion.
The bottles come in three sizes: 30ml, 50ml, and 100ml. Price-wise, a 100ml bottle of Dior Addict Eau de Toilette costs around £114 / $140, the Eau de Parfum costs £137 / $165, and the Eau Fraîche £114 / $140.
