What does Addicted smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards nights out and evenings. It sits between masculine and feminine, a little closer to masculine. It has been discontinued.

It opens with cognac, and cinnamon, apple and honey carry the heart. The base brings chocolate, sandalwood, tonka bean and vanilla, so a fruity, spicy, creamy sweetness dominates. Aaron Terence Hughes Addicted+ and French Avenue Royal Blend have a close profile.
