Fragrance Review - Dior Addict Eau Fraiche

This week I found a steal! It was Dior's Addict Eau Fraiche 50ml in John Lewis for £35!! I'm not sure why it was priced as this comparatively low price, especially as the 20ml was £36. Anyway, I had to snap it up.

It normally RRP's at £52 for the 50ml EDT and can be purchased here:  http://www.theperfumeshop.com/fcp/product/womens-perfumes/dior/addict%20eau%20fra%C3%AEche/1641

I am a complete packaging junkie. I like bottles to have a classy appearance and normally gravitate towards pink or purple bottles. I like them to match my other bottles, as silly as that sounds, picking up that bottle and having a spritz each morning is important to me, so I place a high importance on the bottle! 

Firstly, the box is lovely! It was hard to capture in a picture but it has a holographic effect which shows a purple and orange striped line through the box where the light hits. It's lovely.

The bottle is the same style as Dior's Addict, but a glass see through bottle with a pinkypurple tinge at the base. It has a silver cap, and you twist the CD circle at the top of the lid clockwise to open the bottle. 

The fragrance  is a nice, light, refreshing smell and I can tell it's going to perfect for summer. It is a floral fruity fragrance that isn't too sweet. I think it smells quite citrusy, and a lot of people say it's similar to Versace Bright Crystal

The lasting power is around 5 hours and as the perfume doesn't have very strong sillage you can definitely repsray without walking around in a cloud of perfume. 

Top Notes: Calabrian Bergamot
Middle Notes: Freesia and Lilly of the Valley
Base Notes: White Musk

If I could sum up this perfume in one line it would be:

Sparkly fruity floral fragrance perfect for tea parties!
