The Bottle:
It’s a simple bottle with a unique sprayer just like all of the Dior Addict.
Inside the bottle:
Tart,fresh,spring &light are the words that come to mind when I smell this perfume. When sprayed you get a lemon/raspberries scent.When dried you get the gardenia and a hint of cedar. Longevity is weak it might stay less then half the day.Sillage is light not offensive.
Overall:
This perfume reminds me of Versace Bright Crystal Absolu but much lighter. This perfume is great for someone who doesn’t wear a lot of perfume or who is sensitive.

Strong Gardenia opening with a mix of Lemon note and I used to like it. I had been wearing this to work every day for 3 years, and because I like the scent and smelling it made me relaxed, I used to have the habit of sniffing my wrist perfume whenever I was in a process of writing stressful emails. It was for the purpose to reduce stress. However, just recently I discovered that whenever I’m wearing this fragrance, even on the weekends or vacation days, it’d remind me of rush mornings and the stressful feelings of writing difficult emails. Even when I’m just browsing through blogs or watching movies, smelling this perfume would actually make me feel as if I’m busy working and needs to summon the energy for great focus. All I could say is…you gotta be careful on choosing work perfume. It’s as funny as it may sound. This scent which used to help me release stress is now giving me stress. haha.

The fragrance starts with a brief, strong gardenia note, transitioning through fresh pineapple, before settling into a spritzy lemon sherbert. As time goes on the lemon note becomes more sour, but as it does so, the very soft cedar note begins to come through. The lemon-cedar blend is awkard at first, as though missing something to tie it all in together, but at the fragrance progresses, they come into harmony with one another and there is almost a soft, slightly sweet mint note floating in the mix. This perfume is not really my style, but I nevertheless can appreciate that it is lovely bright spring fragrance.

I’m man, but try this, is better than light and blue dg and the Versace eau Fraichè for man. Bright, isn’t unissex, but I like in my skin, clean and more sweet than the others. In the Versace I love the starfruit but dades too fast, in this the raspberries work better.

I was browsing dior website (the international version), and read about Higher, the notes are Pear/Basil Accord, Cardamom, and Cedar Wood.
The description given for Cedar Wood:
“Indigenous to the United States, the essence of cedar is extracted by steam distillation. Its refined, noble scent is used as an invigorating and energizing base note in men’s fragrances such as Jules, Eau Sauvage Extrême, Dune pour Homme and Higher and in the women’s fragrance DIOR ADDICT SHINE”
Because of too many reformulations, changes in bottle design, packaging etc, they get confused… I don’t think they still produced this 2007 Addict Shine anymore…

First spray is really awful, sharp ammonia and metallic smell that almost made me go scrub it off. I gave it a few minutes and it settles down to a nice citrus light scent. It reminds me of D&G Light Blue but not as cheap smelling. Not bad.

Love it! its a great perfume. However, it doesnt last long and for the price, I expect it to last a bit longer. I probably won’t re-purchase this again.

I am always quite sceptical about Dior perfumes, however, when I decided to give a try to this one when it came out I was surprised by its’ lightness and appeal. I usually like light fragrances for the mornings and daytime so this seemed indeed a perfect youthful summer scent regardless its’ floral side, taking into consideration I’m far from a floral scent fan. This fragrance is a fusion of cedrat, a fresh middle note of gardenia and raspberry, and a sensual base note of cedar woods. I also enjoy the grapefruit and musk here. The greatest disadvantage, however, is its’ staying power so it makes too little value for money in the end. The package is very appealing to me due to my love for minimalism.

I want this perfume! Where can I get this? Couldnt find anywhere in malaysia.

This is very fresh and bright. This reminds me of Light Blue a bit, because of cedar and lemon notes. Especially the drydown is a bit similar. Very easy to wear, but nothing special.

Ahh yes, I had forgotten how much I love this fragrance… It was one of the only ones I wore the summer of ’08 – I practically bathed in it! Once I had used it up, though, I didn’t repurchase it – at least until now!
This is such a pretty, feminine fragrance! It is wonderful for spring/summer. The gardenia is the most prominent note to my nose, the raspberry note coming in close second. The citrus kind of drifts in and out – not a sharp citrus at all, just enough to add some light freshness as an accent. I don’t get much cedar at all, even after wearing it for a while. Addict Shine isn’t a bold, in your face fragrance, but on my skin it lasts for a great amount of time. One spritz or two on the wrists and one on the neck will last around 8 hours on me, easy. I am glad to have this one back in my wardrobe!

I love this fragrance especially during summer time. Its quite strong considerings its a fresh/flowery fragrance but it has a strong zingy citrusy smell which i love. Smells very classy – now i want a body wash and shower gel to make the smell last longer. Loving it!
xqn843bedyWelty – :
Beautiful, clean, fresh scent. Doesn’t smell cheap as many other fruity florals may. Instead, it smells classy. You can wear it during the day or for a spring or summer night out. Guys like it a lot. I always get compliments from them when I wear this. I like this fragance a lot. I only wish it lasted longer.
Belochnet – :
It starts off with a bit too much citrus for me (not into citrus) but I love how it settles. Soft and sweet, but still with a little bit of a zing. It’s very tender, but gets its strength from the citrus. Very interesting.

this was my 1st designer perfume i got for myself as soon as i have that magic card (aka credit card) about 3 years ago. i think it’s fresh, sweet & sour lime/lemon scent. used it during the night, when hanging out with my friends and family. really love this, i still feel refreshed after a crazy karaoke/party session lol.
but since my 1st original bottle is running out i’m downgrading to Grade AAA version lol, yes i’m cheap & perfume is a luxury item…cost me almost RM300 for the limited edition bottle. besides, i also would like to try other brands as well 😉
Vadon – :
It’s all about lemon. Fresh and sweet, raspberry noticeable but lemon is number one for sure. Somehow remind me Light Blue without musk and raspberry. Every women would feel viable, fun, passionate! At least for me, in my 32. I love its description :for a “classy, dazzling young woman”
zlb091Diobtetty – :
This is a beautiful scent, it’s fresh, sweet, crisp and clean – but it doesn’t last on my skin! I get about 10 minutes of projection out of it, although the next day there is a very faint trace of something like the original addict if I really smell the skin where I put it. Wish it had projection and sillage because it is such a great fragrance. So I won’t be hunting down a bigger bottle (mine was part of a Dior Little Luxuries Gift Set).

Aqui no Brasil esta fragrância ficou bem comum porque o Boticário fez um perfume muito parecido com este da Dior….é o Florata in Rose…não tem a mesma qualidade mas substituiu bem, e como abusaram dele neste verão…enjoei.
Here in Brazil this fragrance was quite common because the Apothecary has a scent very similar to Dior …. this is the Florata in Rose … do not have the same quality but replaced as well, and how abused him this summer … got sick.

I love this very much..i get a lot of compliments.almost everyone at school ask what im wearing.just love it!

I much prefer this to the other “Addicts” massive citrus blast then floral and powdery dry down-not so woody. A similar cheap alternative is bohemia from marks and spencer!
I dont get the rasberry though???

Dior Addict Shine- My 16 yr. old daughter wore this for the 1st time today, & I was inspired to insist on knowing exactly which scent it was- Just lovely- (for a teenager)- very light, citrusy (?), floral, soft/nicely balanced. She has an enviable dressing table/vanity of a 10 or so “fine fragrances”- Meaning all the samples I collect, plus several recent purchases I regret (yes, including Miss Dior Cherie- Horrible on me, but again- Nice for a teenager!)- Plus other Diors, YSL, Guerlain, +++. Dior Addict Shine reminds me a little of cult classic YSL Baby Doll- soft, understated, citrusy, floral(s) w/ moderate sillage & longevity. I agree w/ Aeternitas that this is more floral than fruity. Lovely. Just not for me- At age 40+, I find that I’m looking for heavier, spicier, fuller/richer frag’s. But it’s absolutely lovely on my daughter! Thx for reading- Happy New Year!

This is my all-time favorite fragrance and gave my boyfriend quite a problem when I requested it for Christmas. He finally found it at a perfume shop that had found six bottles in a box in the back and decided to throw them out and see what happened. Ended up being $110 for the 3.4 and he didn’t mind as soon as he smelled it on me. I’m a young woman and I shy away from anything too heady, musky, or strong and Shine is none of the above. The strong citrus note at first spritz gradually fades to a delicious, fruity, floral, sexy, pure scent and the gardenia and cedar really come through after wearing it for a few hours.
That’s one of the things I actually like the best about Shine- I wear a lot of Bath & Body Works body sprays and have a few daily fragrances I wear, usually Viva la Juicy, but I reserve my favorite fragrance to wear on nights out with my boyfriend.
Shine is not a scent that hangs on you and that everyone can smell. Instead, it seeps into your skin and waits to be discovered when someone gets close enough to find it; a spray on my neck or collar bone or any other intimate spot lasts until I shower and he loves nuzzling me and getting those fleeting whiffs of perfume. I put on some earlier today, in fact, and can still smell it now if i put my nose to my skin where it was sprayed.
I love Shine and I wish it wasn’t so hard to find. I have to disagree with a lot of people, however. If this fragrance works well with your chemistry I think this is a very versatile, year round, day or night fragrance because of the way the scent settles and blends with you.

Compared to the other perfumes I’ve tried in Dior’s range (Cherie, Dolce Vita, J’ adore & Midnight Poison), I find that Dior Addict Shine is the softest and lightest, as well as being one of my favourite Dior scents.
