Dior J'Adore was launched by Christian Dior in 1999, created by Calice Becker and is classified as a refreshing, flowery fragrance. It has notes of floral orchids, violets, rose and blackberry musk. It is an eau de parfum, edp.
This is the most current version of J'Adore EDP, the box has the gold Dior circle that is gold on the outside and inside.
From Bois de Jasmin - "J’Adore’s luminous aura is introduced by a vivid green ivy leaf note (an interesting aroma-material Glycolierral,) which, while vibrant, is nevertheless soft and creamy. As the initial scintillating notes settle, the floral accord begins to unfold. I have been wearing and studying J’Adore for the past 10 years, but every time I smell this ingenious composition of floral notes, which oscillate from rose to violet, from freesia to jasmine, from honeysuckle to tuberose, I still get the same jolt of pleasure and delight. As J’Adore develops on the skin, it truly recreates the iridescence of a jewel. The fragrance traces a beautiful arc and settles into an incense and amber colored drydown. Dusky and moody, it is the perfect counterpoint to the preceding bright, shimmering accords.
From Basenotes - "J'adore is an amazing blend of delicate and sweet, but also vibrant and sexy soft floral, fruity, musky notes."
From Makeup Alley - "Sprtizing this on is like spritzing little flower petals all over you. j'adore is the quintessential floral perfume. Its sillage is monstrous and everyone around you will be wondering how they got transported to a Parisian garden full of dainty little jasmine flowers. Jasmine is in full bloom showing its full beauty from spring until fall and that's about how long it lasts on your skin. It is simply a breath taking perfume of huge proportions and is unequaled in the world of perfumerey. It will be around for generations to come and for that I will be very happy."
Dominant overtones of Ylang-Ylang bury most of the other scents in this perfume, save for the unpleasant fixative that also announces itself quite stridently. After an hour or so, one also detects a strong musk. Altogether a surprisingly mediocre fragrance from such a big name.
