Eau d'Addiction

Eau d'Addiction opens with a sharp, tart bite of rhubarb that cuts through the air immediately. This bright acidity is softened by the dark, juicy depth of cassis, creating a fruity introduction that feels more green than sweet. The lemon adds a clean, crisp edge that keeps the opening from becoming too heavy or syrupy.

The heart of the composition relies heavily on the dry, steeped character of black tea. This is paired with a noticeable amount of incense, which brings a soft spicy and smoky quality to the middle stage. Rose and geranium appear here as well, offering a floral softness that prevents the tea and spice from feeling too austere.

As the scent settles, the base provides an earthy foundation through moss and cedar. The moss gives the fragrance a damp, forest-floor quality that aligns with the green accords. The cedar is dry and woody, supporting the aromatic elements without introducing much warmth or resinous sweetness to the mix.

The overall blend feels somewhat disjointed as the notes transition. The shift from the tart fruit to the dry incense and earthy moss lacks a smooth bridge, making the wear feel a bit fragmented. The synthetic edge on the rhubarb also clashes with the natural intention of the tea and woods.
