Dior Addict

You can buy the genuine Dior Addict straight from FragranceShop.com. The real bottle comes first; the accessible alternatives below are there if you'd rather spend less.

Dior Addict opens with Orange Blossom; a heart of Jasmine; drying down to Vanilla, from notes Nordstrom publishes. Those notes read as floral, sweet, amber, the coarse families Nordstrom cites. How it wears depends on your skin and the concentration. We only publish notes and accords we can trace to a source.

The genuine Dior Addict runs $147.95 at FragranceShop.com as of this page's last update, though retailers set their own prices and change them; the "smells-like" alternatives start around $12.95.

We rank the "smells-like" alternatives to Addict by how closely their cited accords match the original, cheapest first. A dupe is meant to evoke Addict, not match its formula, and we say as much. If we can't verify a genuine match yet, we leave it off.

Dior Addict is listed as a women's fragrance by the retailer. That's a marketing label, not a rule: fragrance has no gender, and plenty of "women's" scents are worn by anyone. We show how it's sold and leave the wearing to you.

Unbranded Dior Addict is the alternative we list first for Addict, ranked on shared cited accords then price, at $12.95 against $147.95 for the genuine bottle. Most alternative houses publish no scent profile of their own, so for those we show the original's cited accords rather than claim an independently verified match. It's meant to evoke Addict, not replicate it, so we link the real bottle first and let you judge for yourself.

Hermes 24 Faubourg (shares Orange Blossom, Jasmine, Vanilla); Giorgio Armani Armani My Way (shares Orange Blossom, Jasmine, Vanilla); Marc Jacobs Dot (shares Orange Blossom, Jasmine, Vanilla). These share specific notes with Addict, a closer match than a shared accord family. We rank them by how many of Addict's cited notes they actually share, weighting rarer notes heavier than ubiquitous ones. Each is its own fragrance with real, sourced notes, not a copy of Addict, and has its own page.
