J`Adore L`Absolu Dior for women

This perfume smells great and I think everyone who likes long lasting perfumes should try this......

This is a rather nice perfume but I think this is something older women would like vs J'adore EDP & J'adore L'eau. I wouldn't wear it unless I'd want to smell older than I am.

J'adore line, to my nose, is anything but Dior.With that being said, I don't mean, by any means, that it is not worth the label Dior, quite the opposite but I do not recognize Dior "heady" kind of perfume in J' adore.
This perfume is bright, this is the name for it, elegantly and in a formal way bright, illuminous and very floral, I cannot smell the fruity, only the floral. For that reason, I think it is more suitable for a day wear, formal occasions mostly or even office for a woman who is executive director or something like that, but very feminine , arty, stylist. Mature with an aloof character(but not like chanel n5 or sisley eau du soir). Always wear it with a more formal outfit.
To sum up, I very much like to smell it on other woman, it is very french and elegant, but it is not my cup of tea.
update : I forgot to mention that it has a retro quality which I very much like and the longevity is awesome, I mean I cannot stand this kind of longevity!!! Take it for someone who's skin swallows the perfumes! :)

On me, floral and fresh, I love it! I wish it weren't so expensive.

I love this perfume,its so romantic and flowery ,sweet smelling ,but not sick sweet,sweet fresh smelling perfume !

J'dore is the ultimately romantic fragrance. Vibrant tuberose, a jazz of fruit, beckoning jasmine, and heady roses...packaged in a golden vial designed for the pleasure of women.

like but don't for me

Wonderful! Its more J'adore than the original. Lots of flowers, longlasting, I feel rich and special with this one. I love J'adore - but this one will be my next pick when this bottle is empty. (EdP)

Underbar. Detta är "mer" J'adore än originalet. Härligt blommig, djup, superkvinnlig och håller länge på huden. Jag känner mig som en rik flärdig kvinna när jag bär denna doften. Ska jag välja mellan J'adore och denna så blir det denna nästa gång jag köper parfym. (EdP)

I had this sprayed on my wrist today. Sweet, vanillary and spicy is what I could smell. Reminded me a little bit of Fire & Ice (Revlon). Now I am reading the notes and I can't find vanilla or anything too spicy listed. Yet, as far as I am concerned, this perfume is rather oriental, and not so much fruity.

I don't like the ylang-ylang that much in the beginning. Come to the middle notes - I don't smell the tuberose (which I love) but the perfume is getting better. The base is even nicer. On the whole though it is not my cup of tea. I much prefer the original J'adore and will stick to it.

Perfumes:The Guide was spot on in their review of this-it's very much J'Adore with better quality ingredients. I have a J'Adore mini from 1999 and it is identical so there must have been a reformulation of the original somewhere along the line. It is a classic yet modern floral, beautifully balanced and womanly.

I believe that this is a textbook feminine fragrance that no one would dislike. I say this as a compliment. It is not boring, or superficially sweet, or screechy.

I really love florals and this does not disappoint. The composition is a rich and velvety floral that makes me feel like I'm a Queen or something. The fruits flint briefly before the musky/woody/faintly floral drydown. Simply put this floral just smells so so good and is beautifully done.

This is the only Dior I own, and I am not familiar with the gigantic "J'adore" family but since I have such love and luck with this scent I think I will stop here. (Also, I could hardly afford to delve further.)

Only complaint I have is that this does not last long enough for such an expensive scent! Very cool bottle though.

EDIT: The top and heart notes last about 2-3 hours, but the very gorgeous deep woody base on me lasts hours and hours after.

This is in my top wood fragrances. I love wood.

I like this much better than the original J'Adore, and as quite a few have noted, it is more floral and soft and not nearly as synthetic and sharp as the original. Lasts about 4 hours on me and I got a large bottle for less than $50 on an auction site. This makes for a great all occasion scent - appropriate for the office, date night, hot weather, cold weather. It smells very classy and sensual at the same time.

I'm very happy to own a full bottle of this.

My God according to me, this is the perfect fragrance... just can't get enough of it... IMO, its soft warm sexy floral-woody-musky & sensual to the hilt ! Love it !

A new addition form Dior in women fragrences. It quite soft and apeeling, floral notes are more stonger then fruity notes.

I like this but it is not long lasting.

This one is even better then the regular one,much better.I find it more sensual and softer,very luxurious too..

I don't care for the original J'Adore (edp) - I find it a little harsh and synthetic.

But I do enjoy L'Absolu, with its concentration of natural floral essences. It's pleasant, fresh yet complex, and soft enough (applied delicately) that I can wear it to work. A perfect background "you just smell nice" sort of scent.

It does somewhat remind me of Parfum d'Empire 3 Fleurs (rose, jasmine, tuberose), but has less emphasis on the tuberose, and I think I prefer L'Absolu. If I want tuberose, I'll take it straight up (as in Beyond Love).

On me it is very much a like Fifth Avenue Elizabeth Arden. Almost no difference. Certainly nice but not much personality especially years after Fifth Avenue.

I like this one much more than rotten pear-smelling orginal J'Adore. It is maybe simpler, but more floral, sensual in a more classic and feminine way.
I agree the bottle is stunning, but so was the original and not reason enough to own the perfume. L'Absolu may be worthy a full bottle if you really like strong florals that smell like heavy flowers and nothing else.

I finally had the chance to try this one yesterday after a long time of admiring the bottle; at first sniff, it was strangely familiar.....where had I smelled this before? Then I realized why it was familiar; I have smelled it on a daily basis on almost every woman I come in contact with for my job. Nice, richly floral, feminine, not offensive......but where is the sensuality the commercial promises? All I get is a pleasant and utterly forgettable scent that is unfortunately everywhere. A safe scent....but what fun is that? I must say this has great staying power though; I could still smell its flowery-musk drydown on my wrist this morning before my shower.

I love this. It wears long and well. It softens nicely.

This perfume smells horrible to me. I don't smell anything fruity or sweet. Everyone else seems to smell something wonderful so I don't know what it is. YUCK

adoro mi perfumee

Fun fruity scent to start which then melts down to a classy elegant floral soft lingering sexy dry down.
