The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Addict To Life by Dior was launched in 2011 and is a creation by François Demachy. This floral fragrance opens with the freshness of raspberry, peach, and pomegranate, creating an immediate sense of vibrancy and energy. As it develops, rose, lily-of-the-valley, and jasmine weave together to form a heart that's both sweet and delicate. The composition settles into a musky, woody base anchored by Virginia cedar, providing warmth and depth without overpowering the freshness above.

How to wear it

For best results, apply this fragrance to pulse points for a subtle yet lasting effect. The fruity top notes are bright but fleeting, so reapply as needed throughout the day to maintain its freshness.

François Demachy

Dior's guardian of dreams

François Demachy is the in-house perfumer-creator at Christian Dior, a title that places him among the most influential noses in the world. Born in Cannes and raised in Grasse — the historic capital of perfumery — he carries the craft in his blood.

“Early on, I memorised a whole host of notes without even realising it. I could recognise moss and flowers. My nose educated itself.”
