Fragrance notes
#Addicted presents a dense mix of cacao and star anise that defines its entire character. The cacao is rich and dark, lending a bitter chocolate tone that avoids becoming sweet or dessert-like. Star anise brings a sharp, licorice-adjacent spice that cuts through the heavy gourmand element. Elemi resin and patchouli sit alongside these leaders, adding a resinous, earthy depth that keeps the blend grounded. The accords list warm spicy and anis prominently, and those descriptors capture the immediate impression accurately. White floral notes like jasmine and neroli are present in the background, but they do not soften the dominant spicy core.
The woody accord comes forward through Virginia cedar and sandalwood, providing a dry foundation beneath the resinous top layer. Tea and citrus notes offer small moments of lift, though they do not brighten the fragrance significantly. Hibiscus adds a subtle floral touch that blends into the powdery accord listed in the profile. The overall texture feels smooth and slightly dusty, leaning into the soft spicy and aromatic categories. It maintains a consistent personality from the first application, focusing on the intersection of dark gourmand and dry wood.
This is a masculine fragrance that suits cooler weather and evening settings where its heavy spice can breathe without overwhelming a small space. It is not for those who dislike prominent anise or bitter chocolate notes, as there is no citrus or fresh herb here to balance that intensity. The synthetic feel is minimal, allowing the natural roughness of the patchouli and cedar to show through. It sits firmly in the niche-style woody spicy category, offering a specific mood for a specific wearer who enjoys
