Dior Addict (2014) Eau De Parfum

(2002) from this fragrance I had the ... perfume. I guess it was 0.5oz15mL in a fabulous Vaporisateur and still more fabulous outer box, which was Mirrored on all sides and then still kind of stroboscopically glistening when you turned it (2002). (John Galliano being the Creative Director of 'Dior' as the venerable Fashion House then was also called.) and thèn the perfume itself. it was a sort of Addictive Scent of alluring flowers: Rose, Jasmine, Orange Blossom, Night Blooming Cereus (anyone who had a blooming Cactus in the house knows) and the Silk Tree Blossom of which Fragrantica reports "a beautiful fruity floral note reminiscent of the smell of Albizia flowers". (Albizia Julibrissin.) this, and the immediate smell of the (non-Gourmand) Vanilla & Tonka. these seem to come all forward at once. and according to your presonal prevalence, to me the Roses and Jasmine and Cereus seem to conspire. while the rest doesn't hold back. I guess the Blackberry instilled a dark Fruity Flavor within the Oceanic Flowerburst while the mysore Sandelwood gave a thorough anchoring. I loved this perfume. as with the most perfumes this then formed a dear Rememberance of Things Passed.

This is one of my favourites, a scent that wraps around you like a warm blanky. It opens with mandarin and orange blossom, which quickly gives way to jasmine, and in the base there’s creamy vanilla with a touch of wood. Long lasting, intense and, in my opinion, very elegant. This scent is perfect for autumn, winter or an evening out. For me, it’s a fragrance with both class and character.
