During mid development,floral bouquet with a nice touch of a bit green hyacinth becomes stronger with a warm,woody, musky and vanillic undertone.
I can detect a hint of vanilla and cinnamon,but it’s not listed in the notes.However,could be a nice touch of benzoin(Benzoin has a clear vanillic fragrance (it contains vanillin, just like vanilla beans) as well as a hint of cinnamon).
The drydown is sensual,warm,woody and musky with dominant tonka.

This is very reminiscent of the Manifesto line from YSL. Just toned down, softer version
Smells nothing like Dior Addict
It is probably the best from 5th Avenue line, along with After Five

not really getting the comparison to Dior Addict. I admit I sniffed Addict many years ago but I still remember being overwhelmed by dense spicy smokey vanilla…has Addict been watered down since and lost its oomph? Unless that happened, I’ll stick to zero resemblance to Premiere and here’s why. Premiere is an oriental floral on the skin; pillared equally on floral notes, amber and patchouli. No vanilla! No spice!
Verdict? now this one while not being particularly ground-breaking, edgy or artsy, it is a decent smelling blend and think it is a good price value ratio.

I’m testing this, Jacomo and dior addict side by side. This to me is super floral with sweet undertones, Jacomo is spicy opening with a very quiet slightly vintage soapy drydown. Dior addict really sticks out with it’s rich vanilla balsamics throughout. That definitely wins this round. This one is a bit vintagey feel upon drydown but still wearable. Off my want list though. I’m really not getting much Jacomo after a few minues :/ Dior wins hands down for me.

An obvious gem in todays market, a true gift to perfume lovers like me that are head over heels for vanilla, orchid orient potions. Extremely delicious, flirtatious, can really lift the mood. Like someone said a very tasteful take on more wearable dior addict, which is superb!

First of all this is a bargain! I got a 75ml for 12Eur, ridiculous price even for EA perfumes. This scent is I would say a more wearable version of Dior Addict, its definately not a dupe, although it shares some of the notes. The orchid and the tonka bean here start in a very sexy, very purple, very loud way but then it fades to a soft, creamy hyacinth and amber scent. I love EA perfumes because they are so well done and you can smell the transition and all the notes in the composition. I can see this being worn in the day actually, this smells very grown up, sophisticated, interesting. I can see a woman like Eva Longoria wear this, simple, chic and attractive at the same time. I definitely recommend this fragrance, both for the quality and price.
Very long lasting on my skin with average sillage. I will spray this on my winter scarves and wear it proudly!
Oriparrance – :
This couldnt be more different from Dior Addict. Addict on me is mostly vanilla. This is all hyacinth, which I like but in this it comes across as an old lady perfume. There is NO vanilla in this. Just a powder & floral. So if you are looking at this & thinking “Hey, I love Addict” just dont waste your time or money.
nadya11 – :
I was told it smells similar to Dior Addict. It must be a very recent formula people are comparing it to bc it certainly doesn’t smell like the ones I remember
Perhaps a bit too sweet. But it has that cinnamon that Dior Addict smells like but doesn’t seem to contain.
Still.. a big love. Isn’t a flanker that is connected to the original… but none of them seem to be, so oh well.
zaebato – :
I’m very impressed with this, I had not read the reviews or anything but I thought once past the upper notes which I was so so about, and got to the mid notes I smelled Dior Addict.
I found myself saying that out loud. This is a calmer addict. Really similar.
Summer test and this has lasted since 10.30am, it’s now 7pm.
Nice one Arden.
dadashev88 – :
I blind bought this because I missed the heady floral notes from old formula Dior Addict. The first spray of NYC Premiere is pleasant, very similar to Addict.
But this fragrance falls apart quickly. In my opinion, this is not good quality. Consider that no perfumer is named on this fragrance. There are many inexpensive fragrances I wear and like.
rsv_89 – :
5th Avenue NYC Premiere is a weird blend. On the one hand it does have that Dior Addict vibe. I always found Addict somewhat cinnamon-y, despite it not having a cinnamon note. NYC Premiere is the same in that point. It also smells vanillic without having a listed vanilla note. I suspect the orchid, benzoin, tonka and sandalwood to give that vanilla and cinnamon impression. It has some creamy and some dry aspects.
But apart from the sweet oriental notes, this also has strong green florals. Not exactly my favorite note group, they appear soapy to my nose, and are often very noticeable to me in fragrances where they should only play a supporting role. Lily of the valley is among the least voted notes for NYC Premiere on here at the moment, and still I smell it clearly. The hyacinth is there, too. So to me this conjures up the image of opening a cookie tin into which someone put a cinnamon roll – and a tasty little piece of old fashioned white soap 😀
It’s not as bad as I make it sound. It’s actually quite okay for the low price and it’s still more warm and sweet than soapy floral. It’s absolutely not for me and in my opinion it can’t replace Addict, but it could be a lighter and cheaper alternative for those who don’t hate green florals.
gerakl43 – :
Oh my this is sooooo good. I do get the similarities to Dior Addict but this is sweeter and warmer. I find Addict a bit sharp at times so this is a lovely alternative. I’m working my way through the 5th avenue range and this is my favourite so far, very happy with my blind buy 🙂

I tested it at an airport first, and I remembered that I liked it, but just gave it a pass as I was interested in summer stuff more at the time, but now that winter is slowly coming around I needed something different, and ordered this for a nifty 18 euros (125 ml bottle) online, and I`m quite pleased!
Initially on spraying it smells like the original 5th Avenue, but only mere minutes later this disappears and the flowers come hither, and WOW, towards the drydown it stays mainly tonka and the original 5thA! It does give you a slight impression of Dior Addict, but in my opinion it doesn`t last that long, and this fragrance is not half as strong and overpowering as DA..here you get a mix of tonka, orchid and sandalwood plus the sourness of the original 5th Avenue and the total lack of vanilla, so I wouldn`t recommend it as a blind buy to someone who wants to smell like DA, unless you don`t mind the notes of 5th Avenue either. Sillage and longevity are average or below so I`d recommend re-spraying in a few hours, however, the scent lingers on fabrics for days..Not bad, but you must have a thing for 5th Avenue to really love this one.

I came across a big 125 ml edp in my local discount store so I took it with me.
I knew that some reviewers spoke about CD Addict and I love that one.
I could not wait to try it, in my car I opened it and sprayed it in the air and oh my that tonka was soothing. I drove home in that nice tonka and sandelwood smell.
In the next couple of days I tried it and I must say this is a great perfume for a steal.
The patchouli is soft, as a patch junkie I wished they had used more of it in the composition LOL.
If YSL Manifesto en CD Addict had a lovechild this would be it.
The purple box fits the perfume so well.

This does smell like Dior Addict
but this one is less milky and less sweet
the only difference is the drydown
Addict is like huge sandalwood bomb
but this one doesn’tt have sandalwood, it’s smoothier
and the aroma is more tender and gentle than Addict
It’s like cut half of the vanilla from Addict and put these half into orchid
i love this one more actually
sandalwood always makes me dizzy

Hallo! I am a guy, the smell of brilliant cheap DIOR ADDICT I love !!! It takes a long time on my sweater, a scent worth buying. I recommend for all, do not limit yourself to whether it is female or male. 5 stars.
AkadoPsix – :
Tested this today, not expecting much, pleasantly surprised. Didn’t like it when I first sprayed but it developed beautifully, becoming quite lovely, creamy, softly feminine, warm, powdery, long lasting and even my husband, who is quite hard to please, liked this a lot. I wished I’d bought it but I rarely do that, I like to leave it for quite a few hours to make sure I’m in love. I may buy it tomorrow.
God I’m a perfume addict, I seriously don’t need another fragrance!
ghw131Bessinepome – :
One perfume that maked me stop for a while from testing other perfumes, I loved it from the moment I opened the box.
A little citric fragrance at first, but floral, just a little bit of sweetness! I bought it especially for the comparisson to Dior Addict…and I am very pleased with the quality. It is long lasting, not to strong, just enough to be noticed. I let a T-shirt, that I was wearing one day when I used this scent, on my bed, and I left home for 2 days, when I came back the whole room smelled… 5th Avenue NYC Premiere
…and I won’t talk about the compliments I got from a very special person while I was wearing this!
creelaype – :
This was part of a blind swap.I was pleasantly surprised, as E.A. has never been a fave of mine.
I don’t get Addict at all (I am a great lover of it)but it is very reminiscent of YSL Manifesto Eclat, very, very nice. If you want that same style, with a very friendly price, it’s a winner.

I blind bought this from the comparison to Dior Addict. Who doesn’t love Addict? Mmmmmm…..
This… is nice. A floral fruity with some spice. It’s got an Addict vibe… but… it’s like removing the Bourbon Vanilla deep richness from DA. And the Bourbon Vanilla is my fave part of DA… haha….
I do like this. I got the huge 4.2 oz for $21 shipped, and it’s got good potency/longevity. I do find it enjoyable, very much. I get the DA vibe, but it’s def a different scent. I mostly get a spicy citrus floral musk, with a rich deepness underneath- not overpowering.
To me, this smells like 5th Avenue Style (which also smells like Fancy Love) mixed with Dior Addict. The creamy citrus-floral of Style with one tiny squirt of DA.
Gnava – :
For me, this is better than Dior Addict. The tonka bean is not medicinal and leans more on the fresh tobacco type tonka accord. The orchid is more beautifully floral- vanillic in NYC Premiere while the vanilla is more vanilla extract for cooking in Dior Addict. In fact, i never liked Dior Addict at all. I do see a resemblance between the two in style.
In NYC Premiere, i also love the patchouli and black pepper that is present, but not loud, throughout the composition. Jasmine ties everything together too. I love hyacinth and it makes an interesting apperance here. This is one of my new go to perfumes for the winter. Good for autumn nights too. I love this one from the 5th Avenue collection. 9/10 overall imo.

I hope one day I’ll be able to buy Dior Addict, because so many people rave about it, but if this beautiful perfume smells like it, I’m very thrilled, because I love it! It’s stunning! The pepper is great! I smell it off and on during the day, I’m sure! And all the other notes are there at different times more or less, but for me the patchouli stands out (I LOVE PATCHOULI!!), and also I think the lily-of-the-valley is quite strong, and comes and goes too. Really I can smell every note! Gorgeous hyacinth!, and orchid – yum! And jasmine! Beautiful! And a touch of mandarin…. They all come and go, many times. The longevity is great – all day,and so is the strength – it definitely fills the room, albeit quietly (it wouldn’t knock anybody over!). After about an hour after first spraying it on, vanilla (tonka bean, and benzoin, delicious!) and musk and patchouli come together quietly and softly, and stay for the rest of the day, with other smells wafting in and around me. I do have a lovely soft cloud of it around me all the time. Terrific perfume!!! A really special perfume – I LOVE IT!!! It’s perfect!

This is a great choice for those of us that loved the original Dior Addict! Also, you get a huge 4.2 ounce bottle for around twenty bucks.
This is also the only perfume I wear that causes my fiance to want to eat my neck. It’s an insane man magnet.
Vitek77 – :
Very nice and ohh so beautiful parfume! I couldn’t resist not to buy it! Generally, I love the most of the parfumes by E.A.! :)) this one is amazing! Very mature and sofisticated.
gtr2 – :
Unable to resist a bargain, I blind bought this but it doesn’t work for me. There is something in the composition that smells very synthetic, like a fake perfume or a designer imposter. It’s sweet but not sugary, floral but not a natural scent of flowers, and the base has no depth. I agree with the petravesna, it does almost smell like air freshner. If the quality of the ingredients were better it would probably be nice. It’s not a horrible perfume, it’s just not the blissful scent cloud I long for.
grin631 – :
This was a blind buy for me. I am VERY HAPPY with my purchase. This is simply beautiful. It is very well blended. I have received compliments on it twice today. I was told it smells” expensive.” It Is a floral. Not overly sweet. It is a most feminine composition. It is quite reasonable in price. I will be loving to wear this beauty in the future months. Perfect for Springtime and Summer. The bottle is very pretty, and I love the label in a rich purple velvet like label.
lyubimov66 – :
When sprayed I was thinking of masculine cologne. Almost clean and sharp, no nonsense, all business borderline with an air freshener but saved with sweet mandarins and florals trying silently to get through. I think this might be suitable for hot weather. Sweet Clementine slightly bitter bergamot as the main notes followed by ozonic sweetness of water orchid. After several hours some warmth comes through thanks to amber and other base notes.
Not my kind of fragrance, I’m afraid.
b1mbo0 – :
A cosy, enticing fragrance. Not very floral, I get an overall warm, spicy, vanilla aura. Strong on first application, quickly mellows down and is long lasting. Good price in UK, £19.99 for huge 125 ml bottle. Nice one for cold days, winter evenings. I agree with previous poster that it brings back memories of the first Dior Addict.
SotoDuege – :
I tried the new version of 5th Avenue NYC Premiere and I wasn’t disappointed. To me it’s a warm orchid smell,slightly spicy in the opening with some pepper and refreshing with some citrus. When it dries down I can clearly smell the creamy and cozy orchid,soothing and warm. I can also detect some heliotrope although it is not listed. To me it’s NYC Premiere is a cross between Dior’s Dior Addict and Jil Sander’s Jil. Same coziness without being overly sweet with some vanilla and musk traces at the end of the day. If you like like Jil or Dior Addict you may want to give this a try. Good lasting power and noticeable sillage.
Lailani95 – :
Every note is exciting and I hope together they make a great concoction, can’t wait to try this one!

Sounds great! Looking forward to testing this one 🙂
