Base notes
Christian Dior J'adore — the "golden icon" multi-floral classic
Christian Dior J'adore is the 1999 Eau de Parfum from French luxury house Christian Dior, one of the most recognised names in women's perfumery for over 25 years. Widely searched as "Dior Jadore", "J'adore", "Jadore Dior", "Jadore perfume", in Russian "Диор Жадор", "Жадор", "Dior Жадор", "Жадор духи" or simply "Jadore". The name means "I adore" in French. The composition is signed by renowned perfumer Calice Becker.
J'adore and the Dior heritage
Christian Dior began its perfumery history in 1947 with Miss Dior. J'adore (1999) was the brand's attempt to reinvent women's perfumery at the turn of the millennium, and quickly became the symbol of the "most golden bottle" aesthetic in the world. Charlize Theron has been the face of the campaign for many years, reinforcing the "golden icon" image.
The character of J'adore
Christian Dior J'adore sits in the classic floral family, but what sets it apart from typical mono-flower women's scents is its multi-floral richness. Ylang-ylang, mandarin and pear on the opening evoke "a sunny summer garden"; Bulgarian rose, Grasse jasmine, tuberose and gardenia in the heart add rich white-floral depth; musk, cedarwood and ambergris in the base warm the dry-down and create the "golden silk" performance. Sillage is dense, longevity 8–10 hours.
Who is it for?
J'adore is ideal for a 22+ female audience. It serves a classic and "golden icon, mature luxury woman" image. Versatile across the office, business meetings, romantic occasions, birthdays and weddings. Season-agnostic. Fans of younger-fruity women's scents (e.g. Burberry Her) will find J'adore more classic and "grown-up", but for those seeking a classic rose-jasmine it's ideal.
