Addicted by Aaron Terence Hughes and the Character of the Release
Addicted by Aaron Terence Hughes is a 2024 unisex eau de parfum.
The fragrance belongs to Aaron Terence Hughes, a British niche perfume house with a rebellious spirit, distinctive charisma, and a desire to speak to fragrance enthusiasts in a bold, emotional language.
The release is part of the Personal Collection.
The name Addicted sets the mood right away: this is a fragrance for those who love rich gourmand compositions, a noticeable presence, and expressive combinations that invite you to explore them note by note.
Fragrance Pyramid and Development
The top note of Addicted is built around cognac. From the opening, it gives the composition a warm, slightly velvety and mature character, creating the impression of a spiced drink and a soft amber glow.
Apple, cinnamon, and honey appear at the heart. The fruity freshness of apple softens the spiciness of cinnamon, while the honeyed accent makes the scent rounder, sweeter, and more alluring.
Gradually, the composition becomes denser, moving from a boozy opening to an appetizing, almost dessert-like heart.
The base reveals the darker side of the fragrance: chocolate, honey, sandalwood, and tonka bean create a warm, creamy, enveloping drydown.
Chocolate adds depth and gourmand richness, sandalwood provides a soft woody texture, while tonka bean reinforces the sweet, spicy, and slightly powdery impression.
Scent Profile, Sillage, and Wearability
By character, Addicted belongs to the gourmand and spicy fragrance family, with noticeable fruity, woody, and boozy nuances.
This is not a quiet background scent but a fully developed perfume statement with a very powerful sillage. It needs space, and those around you will likely notice the fragrance before you come close.
The unisex character emerges through the balance of sweetness, spices, and woody tones.
On some skin, Addicted may smell more cognac-like and chocolatey; on others, it may highlight the freshness of apple or the honeyed softness of tonka bean. That is why testing it on your own skin before purchasing is especially worthwhile.
The fragrance fits naturally into cool weather, evening outings, festive occasions, and intimate gatherings.
Because of its high intensity, it is best suited to autumn and winter, while in a warm indoor setting it calls for restrained application.
No precise recommendations for the number of sprays on skin or clothing are available in the provided data, so the optimal dosage should be determined after testing, taking the temperature and your personal sensitivity to rich fragrances into account.
The Perfumer and the Brand's Style
Addicted was created by Aaron Terence Hughes, perfumer and founder of the brand.
His involvement emphasizes the composition's auteur character: the fragrance is not built around cautious versatility, but around a contrasting gourmand concept in which cognac, fruity nuances, spices, chocolate, and a woody base come together in a noticeable, emotional accord.
Addicted continues the tradition of independent British niche perfumery, where individuality and memorability matter.
It may appeal to fans of dense, sweet compositions with boozy nuances, as well as to those looking for an expressive unisex fragrance with powerful sillage and a character unlike everyday fresh releases.
