Side by side
Comparing the originals — price, breadth, listed-note depth.
Opens with a bright bergamot-and-pink-pepper snap that feels clean rather than spicy, then softens quickly into a rosy, slightly powdery heart where peony and iris do most of the heavy lifting — the rose reads as polished and modern, not grandmotherly. Projection stays moderate; it announces itself without overreaching. The dry-down is predictable but pleasant: white musk pulls everything together into a skin-close finish with a faint iris creaminess. Sillage is light enough to be office-appropriate. — A reliable daytime floral for spring and early summer, best suited to someone who wants to smell unambiguously pretty without committing to anything bold.
Mandarin and pink pepper crack open with bright, slightly spicy energy before the heart pulls everything inward — jasmine and rose here are lush but not powdery, sitting close to the skin rather than broadcasting. The blackberry adds a ripe, almost jammy quality that keeps it from reading as purely floral. Dry-down is where it earns its reputation: tonka and vanilla merge into a warm, skin-like sweetness with real staying power and a trailing sillage that lingers hours after application. — Best worn fall through early spring, for evenings out or close-contact situations where warmth and subtle sensuality land harder than volume.
How they overlap
Miss Dior EDP and Addict share 2 notes (pink pepper, rose). The same note name doesn't always mean the same scent — different houses use different vanillas, different woods, different musks — but a multi-note shared spine usually does indicate genuinely-comparable wear character. The remaining notes (4 unique to Miss Dior EDP, 5 unique to Addict) are where the divergence happens.
