Fragrance Notes
J'Adore
Of the several ways to buy this fragrance, Dior J'Adore Eau de Parfum 100ml is the one most buyers end up with, because it is the size where the price per millilitre starts to make sense without committing to the largest bottle on the counter.
What is inside is a bouquet of four materials. Ylang ylang leads with a rich, slightly custard like sweetness, the material that gives this scent its warmth and its luxurious reputation. Damascus rose sits beneath it, dense and slightly jammy, lending the kind of depth a cheaper floral never manages. Jasmine fills the middle with a heady sweetness that has a touch of something darker in it, while sambac jasmine cuts across with a brighter green freshness, and the contrast between the two jasmines is really what makes the fragrance work. At eau de parfum strength it projects confidently for the first hour and then stays close for many more. Two sprays on the pulse points is the standard dose and the 100ml bottle will deliver that daily for a year or more, which is where the value argument sits.
It is easiest to wear in the evening and on occasions, though plenty of women wear it to work in winter at a single spray. It is sold to women, it is very widely recognised, and it will be identified by name by someone in any crowded room. The fragrance has been in production since 1999.
The house behind it is Dior's perfume and cosmetics arm, an LVMH maison, whose founder was a couturier who wanted a perfume on the floor at the same moment as his first collection in February 1947 and who described himself as a couturier-perfumer. Dune, Poison and Sauvage all came later under the same name.
