Dior Addict Eau Fraîche Dior 2004

Since Addict is my signature scent and I have to grab, snatch, obtain, catch, and capture anything that smells even remotely as beautiful as Addict, I was already a bit interested in the other fragrances.

After testing Addict Shine and Addict 2, I was initially disappointed. To me, they were just flowery stuff that had nothing to do with the original. I didn't need that, just because they were descendants of the original.

Addict Eau Fraîche had caught my eye more, as the list of fragrance notes came quite close to the original.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find it anywhere online, and in some discussions about it, I picked up that Eau Fraîche is no longer being produced. So I gave up the search for a while.

A few days ago, a member wrote to me here in this wonderful forum (hihi THANK YOU) about a fragrance, the lovely Odeur23! And that led to a swap, in which I was finally able to get this long-sought Eau Fraîche. *yay*

About the scent - At first, Eau Fraîche smells slightly scratchy-floral, which made me hesitate a bit, but that passes quickly. Then this beautiful "Addict note" The-Queen-of-the-Night flower comes through, and it smells like my signature scent - ADDICT! Just in a slimmer and lighter way. This slightly perceptible freshness makes Addict Eau Fraîche suitable for everyday wear, and it lacks the heavy oriental note that makes Addict otherwise so incredibly strong, cloying, and therefore more suitable for the evening.
Eau Fraîche is just as it is named - a fresher, lighter version of the original and still just as unique.
The longevity is good, and Eau Fraîche prefers to stay a bit closer to the wearer and doesn't leave a trail behind it.
