Is Addicted suitable for office wear?+−
Given its heavy sillage and dense sweetness, this fragrance is better suited for leisure, nights out, and formal evening occasions rather than a professional business environment where more subtle scents are typically preferred.
How does this fragrance handle different seasons?+−
Addicted is specifically formulated for cooler temperatures. The warmth of the cognac, chocolate, and spices can become overwhelming in high heat, so it is most popular during the fall and winter.
Does the chocolate note stay prominent throughout the wear?+−
The chocolate emerges most clearly in the dry down. While the opening is dominated by booze and fruit, the base settles into a creamy, chocolate and vanilla-driven scent that remains on the skin for hours.
Is this a safe blind buy for someone who likes fresh scents?+−
Likely not. This is a dedicated sweet gourmand with heavy spicy and creamy accords. If you prefer citrus or "blue" fragrances, the density of the honey and tonka bean in Addicted may be a significant departure from your usual style.
