Addiction
Fragrance notes
Character
Addiction opens with a bright mix of nectarine, apple, mandarin orange, black currant, and bergamot. The fruit is immediate and juicy, with the citrus providing a clean lift that keeps the start from feeling heavy. Nectarine and mandarin lead the impression, while the apple and black currant round out the edges with a gentle tartness. Bergamot adds a faint bitter peel note that stops the opening from becoming one-dimensional. It is a lively entrance that feels composed rather than crowded, with each element staying distinct as the first minutes pass.
The heart moves into a dense white floral blend of magnolia, gardenia, freesia, jasmine, and lily-of-the-valley. Gardenia and jasmine carry the most weight, giving the fragrance a creamy, slightly indolic character that deepens as the flowers settle. Magnolia and freesia lighten the mixture with a soft petal texture, and lily-of-the-valley contributes a faint green touch that prevents the middle from turning entirely lush. The transition from fruit to flower is smooth, and the floral phase dominates the wear with a steady, polished presence that suits evening occasions.
Vanilla, musk, sandalwood, patchouli, and amber form a base that is warm and slightly powdery. Vanilla and amber supply a steady sweetness, while sandalwood and musk create a smooth, woody foundation beneath the flowers. Patchouli adds a dark, earthy edge that keeps the drydown from becoming too soft. The overall impression is floral, fruity, and sweet with clear citrus, powder, and wood accents. It suits a dimly lit restaurant where glasses clink and low music hums against the walls.
