Lovely Grapefruit

Being a flanker of the iconic Addict, there is much to live up to. I claim that Addict 2 does the job really well. I met this one before the original, and that may have been a good thing, because I was not expecting anything and I was not prejudiced in any way.
Addict 2 starts out fresh, the grapefruit doing everything it can to add some bitterness, which I find great. With the bergamot and orange it drags you in and keeps you there for a long time, considering that citric notes are often brief. Pineapple and pomegranate make sure, that the citric feeling continues into the heart, a bit sweeter, though. I personally never notice the base. No sandalwood, cedar or musk for me.
Living in the same bottle as Addict, I can only repeat, that this bottle is really beautiful. The freshness of the scent is mirrored in the pink glass with the silver top.

Dior Addict's Antidote

Originally reviewed on June 26, 2012:

I have a soft spot in my heart and a weakness through my nostrils for all that is citrus-scented. I’m so vulnerably at the mercy of my hesperidic weakness that I’d buy Country Time lemonade if it was in a plain glass bottle with a spray nozzle. Unfortunately this weakness has caused me to buy some pretty mediocre scents blindly, based on the simple fact that they were citrus florals. I got Dior Addict 2 through a swap with a friend. She was disappointed DA2 was not a ‘pink’ fragrance. She was right--this is definitely not a ‘pink’ fragrance, so do not be misled.

DA2 begins with a boozy, bitter grapefruit—boring and almost worthy of dismissing, regardless if it is Dior or not. In time it redeems itself with the introduction of muguet and it sweetens up with the introduction of a fruits-in-a-punch bowl concoction. Six hours later the faint scent of fruit punch, soft florals, and musk linger, leaving behind one of the best drydowns in a hesperidic fragrance.

If you are looking for a sillage bomb or a fragrance powerhouse, look elsewhere. It is a refined and demure fragrance, with quiet, understated class. Save your Tom Ford BOVdF for the VIP section on Saturday night; DA2 spends its Sunday afternoons sipping mimosas at brunch with the girls, wafting in the breeze ever so gently.

Updated thoughts on August 15, 2023:

Yep, she's refined, demure, coquettish. She's also a bore if you're used to swaggering through city streets, hitting up clubs with the likes of Dior Addict (2002) Eau de Parfum, Coco Noir Eau de Parfum, and Opium (1977) Parfum. You consulted with Dior Addict 2 when you had a hangover from the night before; Dior Addict 2 saved you a seat in church because she knew you'd show up out of guilt and shame.

I really liked Dior Addict 2 but I found I didn't reach for her often. I craved the rich, velvety textures of something like Dior Addict (2002) Eau de Parfum or Hypnotic Poison Eau de Toilette. This isn't to say Dior Addict 2 didn't hold an important place in my collection—having something with a gossamer feel in one's collection is necessary, in my opinion. I had other gossamer-like citrus florals that I enjoyed more. And honestly, grapefruit often reads as "pissy" on my skin. I didn't need gossamer piss in my collection.

If the grapefruit note had reacted to my skin chemistry in a friendlier manner, I would've kept Dior Addict 2 around. The muguet note was magnificent but grapefruit kept me from fully enjoying it. Luckily, muguet is a foundational note in most (if not all) Dior fragrances so I can get my muguet fix elsewhere in the Dior universe.

The magic of youthness no matter how old are you

If Dior read rhis, please bring it back...
It is beautiful, uplifting, something else. I think the ingredients are making the big difference. No comoarsion to the Eau fraiche ( this is a totally different perfume).
Everything is ruined today...
So sad.
A forever love for me, rones of compliments. It was my youth fragrance when I was in college and everyone asked.me then what I wear.
So sad it cannot be found, only in some offers but exceeds $200

Bland fruity-floral

Dior Addict 2 lacks something for me.

While Dior Addict hits you in the face with its bold personality and strong, smokey vanilla notes, Dior Addict 2 sits in the background, in a corner, not wanting to be noticed.

This is a fruity floral which resembles something that you swear you've smelt time and time again. Unfortunately there is nothing particularly unique about this scent.

Sure, it's pleasant enough and definitely wearable, however it's disappointing when Dior produces so many interesting fragrances yet can't seem to make this one stand out.

The scent itself is sweet, juicy and pretty. It's very light, in fact it is so airy that I can barely detect it on my skin. I must add that the lasting power is terrible, absolutely shocking for a fragrance with such a high price tag and a designer label.

I'm not impressed.
