Dior J'Adore in Joy Eau de Toilette Spray - 1 x 30ml - 30 ml

Product Information

Yes, in the drydown there is an artificial note, but that's okay, it's bearable; you have to trace it alot. Fot the most part it sets powdery peachy on the skin after a nice detergent-like neroli, which is lost later. As for other florals in my opinion they appear and dissapear. A bit sad about tuberose, because i like the floral and would be happy for a more pronounced one with the already existing peach. But that's okay, at least we have neroli. J'adore in Joy is exactly what it states: a scent of joy, love for life, instant fun and the exclamation of spring. I say summer too. Only in this case Demachy chooses to use more floral notes instead of fruit and gourmand notes that are mostly used in spring-summer related perfumes lately. J’Adore started, for me, smelling like luxury body products. It went on to intrigue me, and I discovered it’s beauty in the original formula. When I smelt the current iteration, it simply felt off, like a room freshener that tries too hard. The dry down finish does have a slightly soapy, powdery edge to it, which keeps it from being too young and cutesty—it almost reminds me of a sweeter, less woody Chanel fragrance—like a less woody and aldehydic No 5 or Coco Madmoiselle without the amber and patchouli. J’Adore is a cooler, fresher fragrance, tailor made for warmer weather and just mature and versatile enough to go from day to night. I can see all ages wearing this fragrance. J'adore is a beautiful floral fragrance with a sparkling fruity opening. Leading directly to beautiful white florals. The jasmine is stunning in this fragrance. I'm a huge jasmine fan, anyway but sometimes it's just perfect and this scent is gorgeous. I'm so glad I don't get any tuberose. I really thought I wouldn't like this scent because tuberose usually ruins a fragrance for me. I'm really not getting it here and I'm so glad.

It is however an Eau de Toilette, not a parfum and I can't yet vouch for the longevity but we'll see how it goes.After the initial (unfortunate) blast of insect spray, the opening is fresh and indeed salty, smelling to me of sea air with cucumber. The use of sea salt as a note here is creative and interesting - easily the best thing about this fragrance. The peach is evident minutes after the initial spray, giving the scent a syrupy juicy sweetness. It smells synthetic, and the fragrance goes downhill from here. It becomes a generic (though not terrible) floral-fruity as the jasmine and tuberose come to the fore. It has a certain allure about it, it is appealing -- (although not blatantly or overtly sensual or sexual). In-house perfumer Francois Demachy adds an unexpected and unusual touch of salt to the warm floral composition, inspired by the natural phenomenon and finest gourmet salt "Fleur de Sel". This salty accord in the top of the composition emphasizes the combination of white flowers that includes sambac jasmine, neroli, tuberose and ylang-ylang from Grasse. An accord of ripe peaches in the perfume’s base gives the whole composition a fruity touch. And just like every hit before it, J’Adore became a victim of its own success spanning clones, cheap imitations, and eventually even cheaper reformulations that have only made it a bad caricature of itself smelling cheap, trashy, plastic. I've loved fragrance all my life - even as a child - but it's only in the past ten years that I've tried to learn more about the fascinating history and creation of that world that is perfume and its devotees. I started collecting seriously about then, too, and I recently realized that I had not one Dior fragrance! Well, that was a new reason to add another bottle to the old perfume armoire and I decided on J'adore EDP simply because it's a classic.

Fruity nuances in the opening, dominated by pear and melon. A cool floral heart with a light white floral creaminess ending on a woody and vanillic base. Simple. Uncomplicated. J'adore (and LVEB) flankers never cease to amaze me. Most of them I like more than their mamas; same here. It's horrible what happened with this perfume. I really am not one of those people who complain about every reformulation on the market, I actually think that there are perfumes that have gone gracefully through reformulations (Pure Poison, Poison, Obsession). This is not one of them.J’Adore is as pleasant and sweet a fragrance as you can get. It’s a cheerful, lighthearted yet calming blend of fresh fruits and gentle green and white floral notes. I get a strongly juicy melon fragrance at the opening, specifically honeydew or cantelope, followed by strawberry, pineapple and pear. The equally juicy magnolia lingers into the heart notes, alongside lily of the valley and tuberose.

Yes they have a very similar aura and composition, but they represent two different Dior legacies, and its reflected in the distinct blending of that same type of white floral DNA. Like taking two different routes to get to the same destination.I've had this fragrance for a while now, ever since it was launched. It's a Like for me. Nothing groundbreaking, pleasant and fresh with no usual suspects like lemons or mint. It's sparkling and light, like bellini. Peach usually leaves cheap and plastic feel, but there are no such downsides here. Nothing from the DNA of the original J'adore, thank God. A new scent. Although it does remind me of Burberry Weekend, but by no means they are close, I would just put them in the same family. This is really beautiful. It opens with a fruitiness similar to that of white grape juice, with effervescent (but not aldehydlic) qualities, nearly like champagne. It's deliciously sweet without being heavy or cloying, and I really, really think the topnotes are exceptional.
