Addict
Set against the parfum strength version, Dior Addict Eau de Toilette is the daylight reading of the same flower, and it is the easier of the two to wear.
Mandarin orange opens it, a material the heavier version does not have: round, sweet and bright for the first few minutes, and it lifts everything that follows. Sambac jasmine then arrives, rich and slightly overripe, but here it is tempered by neroli, cooler and greener than the jasmine and bitter at the edges, so the middle never becomes as heady as it might.
Sandalwood and vanilla close it. The sandalwood is creamy and dry at once, the vanilla soft rather than dense, and the warmth they leave behind stays polite. It was released in 2014.
At toilette strength it holds five or six hours and keeps nearer the skin than the stronger concentrations in the family. That makes it the version for an office, for warm weather and for daytime generally, and it is the one to choose if the richer jasmine fragrances have ever felt like too much on you. Five materials, which is a short list, though it does not feel sparse because the mandarin and the neroli keep the top moving for longer than you expect. One spray in the morning and another after lunch will see out a working day comfortably. It is sold to women.
The perfumes and cosmetics of Dior form part of the LVMH group today. The house began with Christian Dior's first couture show in February 1947, presented with Miss Dior, a fragrance Paul Vacher composed to a brief asking for the smell of love, and Dior called himself a couturier-perfumer accordingly. Fahrenheit, Poison, Dune, Sauvage, J'adore and Eau Sauvage have followed.
