Dior Addict Eau Delice

My Gosh...this is still and always will be dropdead gorgeous!!! I Will always Cherish my bottle and feel very lucky to have a backup of this banger💞🍀

My relationship with Dior has always been a complicated one. I don't really have a single favorite. I own vintage versions of Poison, Pure Poison, Tendre Poison, J'adore, Dune, Dolce Vita, Miss Dior Chérie, Miss Dior Essence (the newer version), Vanilla Diorama, Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet, Hypnotic Poison Eau de Parfum, Poison Girl Unexpected, and Dior Addict (the 2002, 2012, and 2014 versions). Yet I wouldn't call any of them my favorite fragrance. I enjoy having them, but none of them truly excites me, and I probably wear each of them only once a year. For a long time, I wanted to find either Dior II or Dior Addict Eau Fraîche - something light, playful, and feminine. But I couldn't figure out which version of Eau Fraîche was worth hunting down, the 2012 or the 2014 release, so I eventually gave up on the idea. (Of course, I'd love to buy every version and compare them all, but that's simply not realistic when we're talking about discontinued rarities.) Then I became obsessed with finding a fragrance featuring cranberry. I started researching perfumes with a cranberry note, reading reviews, and exploring different options. That's when I discovered Dior Addict Eau Délice. I checked whether there were any factory-sealed bottles available on the secondary market and whether I could justify the price. Finally, I told myself: "That's it. I want it." I hesitated. I wasn't sure if I should buy it. Recently, I'd had terrible luck with factory-sealed vintage fragrances - several of them had already gone bad. I was afraid Dior Addict Eau Délice would become another perfume whose top notes had deteriorated with age. After all, it was released in 2013 as a limited edition, and my bottle is also from a 2013 batch. But I decided to take the risk. I found a sealed 20 ml bottle and bought it. It wasn't cheap. This was one of those perfumes I had genuinely been waiting for. It was discontinued, rare, still wrapped in its original cellophane. I was so excited. And today, it finally arrived. I opened the package with trembling hands. The first thing I took out was the white box, still sealed. The cardboard was so thick and luxurious! The holographic finish on the box was absolutely beautiful. I kept turning it in the sunlight, unable to look away. And that magical little Christian Dior "CD" sticker on the top... At that moment, I felt like a little girl finally receiving the bottle she'd been dreaming about. I took the perfume out of the box. Twisted the signature rotating spray mechanism. The first spray. The moment of truth. Oh, Universe... thank you. The perfume had survived perfectly. I sprayed it, took a deep breath, and suddenly I felt like a fairy wandering through an enchanted forest. It was so beautiful. So charming. So playful. It brought me a genuine moment of happiness. That tiny gradient bottle... the magical rotating atomizer... the whole experience felt like such a sweet little feminine ritual. At that moment, I almost cried with happiness. The fragrance transported me not only into a magical forest but also back to my carefree younger years, when perfumes were charming, easy to understand, beautifully composed, and free from today's amber-woody aroma chemicals. Yes, some people would probably call it dated. It definitely belongs to the 2010–2015 era. But it's simply beautiful. It sparkles. It shimmers. It constantly changes. I smell delicious tart cranberry with a touch of cherry, dusted with creamy powdered sugar. The fragrance keeps shifting between tartness, juicy berries, sweetness, soft creaminess, and delicate jasmine blossoms. I can't stop smelling my wrist. Everything feels perfectly balanced. Nothing sticks out or overwhelms the composition. The overall mood reminds me of Ange ou Démon Le Secret by Givenchy. However, that fragrance has the tartness of green tea and a subtle watery freshness created by Cascalone. Dior Addict Eau Délice, on the other hand, has the tartness of crushed ripe cranberries without any aquatic undertones. It also reminds me a little of Miracle by Lancôme. There's a similar feeling or atmosphere. But Miracle is brighter, fresher, more floral, and more watery because of the lychee. At the same time, you realize this isn't simply sugared crushed berries with creamy sweetness. It's a true perfume - one that enhances the person wearing it. This is the kind of fragrance that works at any age - whether you're 5 or 200 years old. I'm so happy it's finally part of my collection. I honestly can't remember the last time a perfume made me this happy.

Somehow I always fall in love with scents that later discontinue… I saved the last few drops of this until recently, and was so sad to let the empty bottle go. I loved the scent, perfect in so many ways. Warm and sexy, it always made me feel really confident. Could anyone convince Dior to get it back?!

So, when I think of this one the first thing I always think of is very sugary, syrupy water. That does not necessarily make much scense - does sugary water smell like anything? Well, there is more, so I feel like this is a very fizzy one, maybe we could say a soda pop. So what’s the flavor? Well, I guess it’s a citrusy cranberry. I get no cherry (this is not a cherry perfume). And at the start there is also to me a white floral note (but I don’t really get jasmine - I’m kinda used to the dirty jasmine you get from incense, hope you get what I mean) - so I am guessing it’s the mix of ylang ylang and jasmine, maybe rose too. This goes away quite fast. I get no woody smell, no bitter almond, no cherry. I do love this one! It’s a very unique scent that I have never smelled anywhere else before or since. Why on earth this is a Addict flanker I have no idea, no addict dna. Should have stood on it’s own proud and should have been with us for longer. To sum up: syrupy sugary carbonated citrus cranberry.

Completely agree with the reviewer below. This is such a beautiful and unique scent and I can't for the life of me understand why it was ever discontinued! With the right marketing this could and should have been a best-seller. I actually remember the TV advert for this perfume, it was fab and suited the scent so well! One of my favourite perfumes for the Spring and Summer, but really it's delicious all year round. Dior seem to be one of the worst perfume houses for discontinuing great fragrances (Miss Dior Le Parfum is another stunner that is sadly no longer available, unless you can snap up a bottle on eBay for an exorbitant amount).

Tragic they discontinued this i still cant find anything like it miss the smell on my scarf in winter was gorgeous people say there are similar scents like aqua di parma mandorle but its just not the same!

Why did y’all lie, this does not smell like Happy Hour 😭 declutterring this one

Light spring/summer gourmand. Beautiful fruity cranberry-cherry opening that is anchored by the almond and musk. The dry down is powdery-fruity-vanilla musk. It lasts all day on me but doesn't have heavy sillage. 5-6 sprays and 9 hours later I still have a soft scent cloud around me.

Not at all what I was expecting from the notes, or from the other reviews. On me I get pencil shavings front and centre which I'm guessing may be the cedar and bitter almonds. It's interesting and I like it. It then dries down to a soft, musky cherry. I can sense the vanilla and ylang-ylang too but they are also very soft. It's very soft and close to the body and not long lasting. But it is intriguing and I'm glad to have smelled it.

I bought this because of you people on here who said it smelled like happy hour, which is way beyond my budget. I agree and I thank you for the tip! Beautiful perfume!

I have to say this is actually more cranberry dominated and the more I wear it the different it is to my nose. It is a really strong warm weather perfume. It's lovely.

This is a great Cherry fragrance for the summer for Cherry lovers and it even has a splash of cranberry. I said splash of cranberry because at first you get a lot of cranberry then it sort of wears off leave mostly cherry. It's pretty and fresh and then becomes powdery makeup scent. Very nice. the reason it makes such a great summer gourmand fragrance is because it's it's soft and close to the skin and doesn't overwhelm you.

I stupidly assumed with the name this would be delicious! Well, I was very wrong. This is a very powdery, mature scent. Old face powder is what this smells like on me. I believe it’s the almond that always turns musty/powdery with my skin. Truly my worst blind buy of the year. I mean no disrespect to anyone who loves this one this was just my personal experience

I recently decided to buy a few of the Addict flankers - so I have at the moment the edp, the edt, this one (eau delice), addict to life, eau fraiche (can't remember what year it is from - there's too many!), and sensuelle. I think the addict to life is a bit metallic but I am not sure if that is because my bottle may be getting old or was kept in the heat. This is a pet peeve of mine lately - receiving light fragrances that have gone bad when they shouldn't because of being kept in the sun. I know sometimes it can't be helped but its disappointing when you spend so much. Eau delice was the most recent one to arrive and it is definitely the sweetest. It is really nice, though the edp and edt are my favorites this one is probably the next best of what I have tried. It has the addict edt DNA with fruity sweetness in the mix so it's light but still nice and sweet.

The ultimate ''vintage lipstick'' smell. It's sweet and powdery, yet there is something fresh about it which is keepin it from gettin overly candy-like. It's pretty and soft.

I really love this perfume and very sad to find out that it was discontinued long ago. Can anyone tell me where to find it or maybe someone who would want to sell one?

Blind bought this and addict eau fraiche. I love them both. This does have a minor similarity to poison girl, I am thinking that's because of the almond note. Eau Delice is much more mature compared to PG though. I am getting mainly almond mixed with cranberry and cherry and a touch of musk. Captivating scent.

Gosh, I love this perfume! On my skin it's all about the juicy red berries (especially cranberry) luscious rose, and soft musk. It's a sexy scent and I agree that it's nothing like Poison Girl, IDK where that comparison is coming from but then again skin chemistry can do funny things. My advice is to give it a try before it's all gone because it's a real gem IMO.

Glad there are still bottles around. This has got to be one of the most underrated perfumes! It's soft and sweet but also spicy in a sexy way. There isn't a person or occasion that wouldn't be improved by this scent. Devo that Dior keep doing these releases of 'addict' and then canning them after a few years. I think it's cheapening the house...

I own both Poison Girl and this. I have no idea why people are comparing these two. They are absolutely nothing alike. I do not find a single thing in common between these two. Nothing. I LOVE poison Girl but I dont really care for this one, I will have to think about swapping this one.

A few years ago, I was given a 50ml bottle of this scent as a gift and I went through it in a few months. It was really addictive, one of the best scents featuring juicy red fruits. I don't know why they had to discontinue this scent and then come up with Poison Girl (which is basically just an uninspired mish-mash of popular 2010s scents). This one I wore throughout spring, summer and fall of 2014, a sweet-tart scent of red berries and cherry with feminine florals on a nutty, powdery/musky base. Sophisticated yet carefree, and so very feminine. Fresh, sweet and tart, but with a deeper sensual nutty warmth to it that any women over 25 can confidently wear, without fear of smelling like a college girl on spring break. For a spring/summer scent, this one has good 'volume' and 'body'. It's juicy enough but not too simplistic. It also lingered on me throughout the day and I could still smell it on my clothes a few days later. Dior needs to bring this one back.

Is it discontinued? No way...I wish I could smell it but I have a feeling that Poison Girl just kicked it off. Have you ever noticed that when a perfume from a famous house is discontinued, a new one with similar notes is born? I guess they don't want to gift the bottles to their customers (either when the perfume is good or a failure) and they can't rid of such a hard working made 'perfume juice'. So changing it a bit and re-launch it sounds like a nice idea.

Opens with fruity almond, than I could feel floral and musky notes. It is grown up fragrance and quite classy. I like it, but not love it only because my preferences are different, but worth of trying.

I love this perfume. Fruity almond woody vanilla easily wearable by women in their late 20's and 30's....YUMM...perfect for hot summer weather, works very well with little sweat - body chemistry our body produces on arms, neck. I would not wear it in Winter or Fall because it will not develope the way it should in colder weather. I think it is enough to say I started off with 50 ml bottle and now I ordered 100 ml :))) As Gucci Eau De Parfum II is discontinued I am very happy that I have another signature summer scent none of those on the market could beat so far. If you don't like sweet cream fruity fragrances then this one is definitely not one for you. I am not into green fragrances so if you like those very light, fresh cintrusy ones switch next.

After the initial blast of fruity youth, that was darling but nothing impressive, the dry down has a sensual lingering element that makes you press against the skin for more. Later take: Truly delicious! Yum. Perfect pick me up a golden Summer's eve.

Very sweet fruity fragrance. I smell warmed up heated cherries coated in cranberry sauce. It is sickly sweet- however I also detect kumquat and frangipani in this- which gives the scent are very tart smell- hence it smells foody and gourmand in a sickly sweet way. I dislike them two notes and detect them in this one; despite them not being listed so this puts me off the fragrance. On dry down the scent is balmy and sickly sweet on my skin- I dislike sweet tart smells-so this is not my cup of tea. However if you are a lover of sweet foody smells this is a good one- due to the balmy feel dry down it does actually last a long time 7-8 hours on me. However as well as being balmy it is syrupy and i hate syrupy scents- so not for me. However I find balmy fragrances tend to last the longest. Scent=2/10 I personally dislike it due to the sickly sweet syrupy scent Silage=5/10 Longevity=7/10 due to the balmy feel Bottle=6/10

I couldnt help but thought I know this already by the first sniff...now I got it! this is exactly the same scent as Davidoff Sensual. love them both! there is a lot of Ylang-Ylang ofisially listed, too, even ist not in this pyramide

I really like this, it’s pleasant and sweet and the staying power is around 8 to 10 hours on me. The sweet is really amped up on my skin and makes me think of lily of the valley although that isn’t listed, maybe it’s the cherry note that’s so sweet on me. A while ago, I purchased the .67 oz size from Overstock.com for $20. Since I was new to blind buying, I hesitated too long to get the larger 3.4 oz tester size for about the same price. The notes and reviews and excitement of it all intrigued me and I had to have it. Plus, I was looking for a perfume that smelled like St. Ives Intensive Healing lotion with cranberry seed and grape seed oil. They smell nothing alike, but that’s ok. It was a positive blind buy for me.

In a search of a cherry/berry almond I have tried eau de delice as well as petite robe noire by guerlain. Eau de delice is almost entirely berries at first spray, I like the tartness of the cranberry combined with the cherry. It's interesting, not overly sweet, and not cough syrupy by any means. An hour into the fragrance and I am enjoying it in it's entirety. The flowers are powdery, the almond pronounced with a dry semi-sweet vanilla. The juicy berries are still noticeable and add a very nice element. It is gourmand but not overtly so. However, 4 hours after applying this fragrance it is a skin scent I can barely detect. I really like the fragrance during the initial 4 hours so it's frustrating that the fragrance becomes hardly discernible. And it's not like I could really recommend it to someone who likes very light scents because it is quite loud in the beginning. I understand that this an EDT but I can't justify a dior price tag for that kind of longevity. Referencing petite robe noire by guerlain again, the quality of the guerlian is wildly superior, although I like this dior scent more because it is less rosey in the dry down. Wish I could give the dior the guerlain's lasting power. Perfumista dilemmas. Ultimately I will be passing this one up just because I don't like the scent enough to be willing to pay more than $50/100mL for a gourmand fragrance made so weak for it's genre.

Non mi piace. Su di me è troppo cipriato.
