Sorry, not addictive
It will be a tragedy if Dior does in fact discontinue the original Dior Addict to replace it with this fragrance. While Dior Addict To Life is not a bad scent, it certainly doesn't have the sensuality and the allure that Dior Addict has.
It's quite a fruity fragrance, being rather heavy on the pomegranate and raspberry accords. At times it smells sweet, slightly girlish too. It's not a sexy scent, instead portraying itself as innocent and reserved.
The pomegranate note is so dominant throughout the composition that even the white floral heart of jasmine, rose and lily of the valley has a rich and tarty finish. I don't know whether I like this or not. It smells a little nauseating on my skin.
The drydown is rather clean-smelling, soapy almost with only the subtlest hint of powdery vanilla and musk. Dior Addict To Life is pretty, but for me personally, it's a little boring. The strong berries and pomegranate notes annoy me after awhile, and I keep shaking my head thinking how Dior could replace one of the best sensual vanillas I've tried with something like this.
The lasting power I must admit is impressive, lasting almost a whole day. I think if anything, Dior Addict To Life is closer in composition to Dior Addict 2, which was a fruity fragrance I couldn't quite stomach.
NB. It has since been confirmed that Dior Addict will remain on the shelves, only undergoing some minor packaging alterations. The jury is still out on whether or not the formulation has been changed.
