J'Adore Extrait de Parfum Dior for women

Love love love it. Found it about 6 months ago and wonder how I missed it. It will be my favourite for a very long time!

This fragrance hasn't been made for a few years & would be next to impossible to find due to it's high asking price & small quantities sold in Australia being aruond $140 for 7.5ml.

The new J'adore L'Or Essence De Parfum 40ml (One Size Only) is the same price ($180 in Australia) - I think it's a worthy predessor that demonstrates what J'adore was originally intended to smell like - the lower concentrations really are watered down versions of this gold phenomonom.

I love the sophistication of this scent! Wearing it, I feel as if nothing can go wrong. Euphoric! ;)

This would have to be the best version of J'Adore available, one of Calice Beckers greatest creations. The original parfum contains both Maroc and Turkish rose, magnolia abs., jasmine abs. (Grasse), Comoros ylang ylang & damas plum with a base of rare woods including sandal and amaranth. Not as sweet as edp. & edt. although silage & staying power is phenomenal, projects well when used in combination with the lesser concentrations or a moisturizing body product (best when layered). The high quality florals are beautifully blended along with the Chinese magnolia and blackcurrant buds, this parfum has a silky feel & is a joy to apply, I'm not sure if this 1999 formula is still being produced, either way I would suggest stocking up on this gem of modern perfumery. Get it now while you can, it's not easily found so you may need to hunt it down.
Certainly worth the effort !

UPDATE:-
I was most fortunate to have aquired several 30 ml. natural spray flacons of the 2000 original J'adore in the pure parfum concentration, it has been stored perfectly & will hopefully be viable for many years to come.
This is utterly gorgeous parfum !

I'm not too keen on the scent because its too strong and old fashioned for my personal taste. No hard feelings for anyone that does like it though :) xx
