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

Product Information

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 have both the Edt and the Edp and the dry downs are pretty much the same after 4-5 hours. The difference is the openings. Edp is more flowery and buttery whereas the Edt is more lemon-fresh. I like the EDP more because there is something in the EDT that gets a rubber smell on my skin 10 min in and is off 30 minutes. Add a splash of whatever you like with this - and make it your own, (if you feel that this is too generic or unimpressive). 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.

First and foremost do not judge this fragrance upon its initial blast, you really must wait for the dry down and let it all unfold to capture its true potential. I was let down at first because all it was was a very clean soapy floral, but within a half an hour it began drying down into something much more familiar. In its current formulation, this J’adore smells like an iteration left on the editing room floor while the creators were working on Dior’s Pure Poison, though its likely the other way around as J’adore was released 5 years before. Its a much fresher soapy-er take on my beloved Pure Poison, perhaps a foreshadowing precursor to the iconic Poison flanker. J’adore EDP is a sweet, crowd-pleasing scent that’s hard to go wrong with. It feels youthful and energetic but with an edge of sophistication. The softness of the florals and fruit makes it more of a spring and summer fragrance. It’s a clean day-time fragrance for work or the weekends. 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. 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.

The aldehyde/ozonic effect is also something that takes awhile to subside. This is aggravating my asthma a bit.

Case in point, J’Adore. Never really noticed it, never a fan, and yet curiosity spiked my interest a few months ago.

I really like the idea of warm, peachy notes, florals and then a touch of salt as a wee surprise - perhaps like a slightly more exciting version of Boss' The Scent! Though I had expected the peach to have more honeyed tones. J’adore is a bit ubiquitous at this point while it was very ground-breaking at its release, there have been numerous similar fragrances in the intervening years. If you’re looking for a truly unique fragrance, it might feel a bit generic. Pros: 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.

Guys, just wake up! I love Dior more and more everyday but mostly due to his perfumes. We may have seen thousands of editions coming and go but this one is a must. I've never thought I could smell salt. This was promised by Olympea-Paco Rabanne, WANT-DSQ2, but J'adore in joy strikes 100% of the feeling. 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. Dior J'Adore L'Or с ориенталски цветя. Това е отлична композиция, която е много подходяща за елегантни събития след залез слънце.

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 In Joy has the ozonic aldehyde effect similar to the first sprays of perfumes like Calvin Klein's Escape; Estee Lauder's White Linen; Elizabeth Taylor's White Diamonds, ET's Diamonds and Emeralds, and ET's Diamonds and Sapphires; and Un Jardin En Mediterranee by Hermès (it has the same chemical ozonic aldehyde effect as these perfumes but does not smell like these). When this is sprayed, it is as if the chemical chord of this expands and interacts with the air where this creates an atmosphere around you. This settles down after awhile, but the initial spray has a strong type of ozonic aldehyde effect.
