What its composition says

  • 2 materials on top, 3 in the heart, 3 in the base: the three stages are of comparable size.
  • Silene leaf: no other perfume page lists it — of the 1,980 perfumes analysed in the catalogue, Addict is the only one to use this material.
  • Vanilla: conversely, a material of the common core — 35% of the catalogue contains it.
  • Gourmand, floral, citrus and woody: 4 registers of raw materials share its palette, with gourmand supplying 2 of 8.
