J`Adore L`Or Dior for women

I smelled it today at the store, and can't wait to have a bottle my own. It's simply divine!!! If anyone does want to get rid of hers for swap, PLEASE let me know!

I discovered this fragrance months ago and I completely fell head over heels!! J'adore L 'Or is truly glorious. It's a divine mix of amber,vanilla and rose with a subtle hint of sweetness. The campaign ad couldn't be more spot on. It's rich, sparkling, sophisticated and striking. Grand entrance material! Love this stuff!

Absolutely divine! And I didn't even think I liked the J'adore perfumes! For me the blend of Jasmine, Rose and Vanilla is superb. It has got a softness to it that I like very much. I am fond of flowery oriental scents, so this perfume suits me just perfectly :-)

C'est une "oevre" d'un parfumier qui percepe l'Orient d'un point de vue un peu delicate+riche+elegante.
Le parfum se developpe comme une nuage, pas agressive, pleine du chaleur - c'est TRES BEAU!
Fragrance - 7,5/10
Power - 8/10, mais tres dependant du pH du chaque homme
Final Note - 7,5/10 - tres elegante

I absolutely LOVE this fragrance!!!!

It lasts a long time, and has such a warm, sexy smell. Just beautiful.

Nothing special for 2 euros/ml.

Just beautiful :) A slightly more mature fragrance than j`adore edp or edt,but at 3l i`m wearing it anyway.Love it.

I like it but it isn't 100% "me". Actually maybe in about 50% ;)
This is a rich, gold fragrance. Very gold. Becomes sour in the drydown but in a pleasant way. I'm not a particular fan of Dior but this one is really well done and memorable. Nice French labdanum makes it interesting.
Rich, elegant and golden oriental, feminine and uplifting.

A near-to-perfection fragrance. Very rich and voluptuous. Simply suits the name given, really. I've been using it very sparingly since it is very expensive and not so easy to find. The Dior counter in my town didn't have it at the time i wanted to buy this fragrance. Only when i asked them to personally order it for me, J'adore L'or is now available at that particular counter ever since.

Love this and waiting to buy/be given it!!

I love this fragrance - it is very pretty while not being overly frou frou. The dry down - which takes a few hours to come to - smells JUST like JPG Classique. Overall, great sillage and longevity. 10/10.

The concentration essence parfum is all about figues and vanilla for my nose, heavenly beautiful, sweet and exotic - the best scent I can imagine for a black woman. There is no evidence for jasmine for me, even if listed here.
I smelled it on a blond haired woman - it did not fit to her.

I did not find it as exquisite as the Regular J'adore. If anything it smells almost the same except a little less refined. Really Beautiful Bottle though. The sales lady told me that in a given day a person only makes 4 bottles a day, as the winding of the thread takes that much time...or something along the lines...not sure why
Pretty bottle though : ) and not bad a fragrance either

I have always loved the idea of J´adore but not the perfume itself. There was this sour note of pear I dislike so much,and it stopped me from buying it. But J´adore L´Or is all I expected it to be,golden,luxurious,rich,inspiring.
It is not an everyday scent,but wear it to the opera, to a concert,and whenever you want to feel like the ice gold queen.

just love love love this lor frm jadore.

a true luxurious masterpiece frm dior .

my fav

I adore the original J'adore from '1999' especially in the pure parfum concentration, high quality florals counter balanced with exotic woods & white muscs, Calice Becker's now classic masterpiece. Only natural that I should sample this latest offering from Dior and I'm so very glad to report that "YES" it does contain beautiful flowers having bloomed in Grasse along with vanilla from Tahitian orchids, Tonka bean extract, labdanum and oil of 'Java' Patchouli.
The opening in L'Or is unusually aldehydic for a 'Dior' fragrance, this is followed by a tooth achingly, volatile, protracted dry down & with a force I have seldom experienced in modern perfumery. L'Or is almost 'Chanel-esque' in both presentation & formulaic floralcy. After this initial stage of what seems like a pink cotton-candy on steroids effect the wearer is rewarded with a slightly less sweet yet solidly beating heart of Mai Rose, Jasmine & Vanilla. The essence de parfum is contained within a slight variation of the classic J'adore flacon, an enduring design of superb crystalline elegance, all aspects regarding the precious parfum and it's presentation exhibit absolute sheer luxury. Moderate to high silage with a tenacious and relatively linear dry down that is totally *AWESOME* lasting between 12-18 hours on skin. The Grasse jasmine seemed to predominate for me more than the Mai rose and both absolutes are of exceptional quality as expected, truly exquisite !
I still prefer the original with it's silky touches of subtle verdancy due to the inclusion of Chinese magnolia, violet leaf & ylang ylang from the Comoros Isles.
J'adore L'Or is a definite for those 'GLAM' nights out & special/formal occasions.
The zenith of 'Haute Parfumerie'
Merci, Monsieur Demachy.....

I love this is heavy, sweet, oriental, warm is similar toFlower by Kenzo Essentielle Kenzo. Long lastig.

i lovet this very chic famenen . i hope will be available in eau de parfum 100 ml
2 be generst when i spray insted of carful us.

We kissed until breathless. Best dressed in her flower dress. Taken I was, by her benevolence. Sparkling elegance and alluring essence. Making love on the shore of a deserted beach, she reeked of exotic roses and golden vanilla. Subtle fruits and fine bouquets. Who needs wine when one smells this way? J'adore L'or; a flawless romance.

This version is very warm, you feel a real expensive lady in it. For a woman with a good taste. In the beginning, it reminds me of Kenzo flower, with it's special rose and jasmine mixed together. However, very quickly it smells almost similar to Cinema and has something in common with Very Irresistible l'intense to my nose, when it dries down. My friend sais, it reminds her a lipstick, but if so, a pricy and unique one.

Nicest one of the J'Adore fragrances. A little bit too much vanilla for my taste. Too powdery sweet. I think I'd get the same feeling as after eating too much sweets if I wore it the whole day. Wouldn't mind smelling it on someone else tho.

Very pricey! If you want to feel expencive, wear this.

I love this- it is a heavy, sweet oriental floral. Smells expensive (and it is!). It would be a lovely perfume for a winter day special occasion, or an evening fragrance for a romatic dinner.

L’or clearly stands out among J’adore flankers and I like it most. A gourmet offering with intoxicating facets, it doesn’t really exploit the famous sparkling J’adore theme but envelops with warmer liquid gold shimmery feeling. Slightly more heavily textured but not really heavy, this delicious blend is like an equalizer between the light style of the first J’adore and warmth of tonka bean - vanilla florientals. Possibly devoid of striking originality, it mesmerizes with understated enticing luxury aura, noble classic beauty whereas all notes are in complete harmony, arranged with great finesse. For myself I would call it J'adore Oriental L'Instant Magique (as Guerlain L'Instant Magigue sounds great on others, alas not on me, and L'or gives me similar delight, but this time on myself, and by comparing it to L'Instant Magigue, I mean the same shimmery style only).

As for other J'adore flankers, I have to admit that L’ Absolu didn’t particularly impress me – it’s pretty similar to the original J’adore; Cologne Florale is gorgeously fragile feminity, a good summertime option with neroli = orange blossom like in M Moi by Mauboussin; and finally L’or, in my opinion, is the most successful attempt to break up an otherwise boring commonplace (due to its over-popularity) scent. And all three flankers are signed by Francois Demachy.

So, even if you never felt like getting yourself a J’adore but crave for seductive yet refined elixir, that might be it.

P.S. It just struck me that Francois Demachy here is like mature Sergei Rachmaninoff with, let’s say, The Third Piano Concerto. At the beginning of J’adore flanker races his style showed the influence of “Tchaikovsky” – meaning Calice Becker, the creator of the original J’adore but with L’or, Demachy, “leaning towards sumptuous harmonies”, created a new original genius layer on classic foundation.

P.P.S. Hit the spot - Hypnotic Poison Eau Sensuelle is created by the same master!

I'm a bit confused at all these J'adore. They all smell very different and I like them all, but not the original! That one is freaky to my nose and I can't wear it, not even smell it too close.
J'adore L'Or is different. It smells so thick and luscious in the beginning with white flowers. It's a very beautiful rich floral and I love both rose and jasmin. After a while it becomes sweeter and sweeter. maybe a little too much, like candies and trucks of vanilla with feve tonka tamed down, not so powder house. The drydown is enticing and I'm glad that patchouli is not overwhelming.
Lasting power is very good but sillage is moderate.
The only minus is a lack f complexity and nuances and layers, but it's a good scent anyway.
I tested it one day on my skin and went around smelling my wrist. Too bad my friends didn't appreciate so much as me.

Dislike the original love this one. A little bit simple but very elegant ingrediants.

I'm not sure what made me test this fragrance, seeming that I'm not a fan of the original, however since having experienced this fragrance on the skin, J'Adore L'Or (or Essence de Parfum), is hardly anything like the original, and therefore far more pleasing to my nose.

This fragrance is quite a rich, syrupy white floral. It is golden and bold in its nature, and it seems to be far more elegant than the EDP version of J'Adore, at least in my opinion. It focuses primarily upon jasmine and rose, distilled directly from Dior's fields in Grasse. This fragrance isn't however your typical, soft white floral, because it is in fact quite complex and strong.

Smelling this fragrance actually reminds me of those big, loud and classic fragrances of the 70's and 80's. The richness is rather shocking and sensual at the same time. The fruity nuances usually found in J'Adore are missing in this particular composition, and in its place are thick and heady vanilla notes and resinous amber.

J'Adore L'Or of course demands your attention as a powerful scent and one that speaks of sophistication and elegance. Apparently it is an exclusive fragrance, yet I have managed to find it in quite a few small stores in my area.

The lasting strength is very impressive, however this is a fragrance that relies upon skin chemistry to work. Unfortunately towards the heart, J'Adore L'Or turned sour and rather chemical on my skin which was a huge let-down.

All in all, this fragrance doesn't feel like a flanker to me. I think it deserves another name entirely because I doubt that J'Adore lovers will appreciate this new release.

strong "Kenzo flower " ....


la bain by caron also very similar

very good !!! and the bottle is much more beutiful then the original jadore.....

really pricy :D But really good :)

Gorgeous, lovely and feminine. It reminds of the sun's golden rays, warm and pure.The rose and jasmin really stand out in a such a smooth and pure way. I didn't care much for the original. I had it but ended up giving it away. Not my style. However, I do love the smell of it on other people. This one reminds me a little bit of Chanel Eau Premiere, but without the aldehydes and in a much mure concentrated form. The longevity is great. I love it.

Absolutely georgeous..! It's feminine (womanlike), creamy, seductive... Like a white blooming flower during nighttime. At first it reminded me slightly of lalique le parfum, and I was really afraid it would get so cloying and nauseating too. But no! It gets sweet, fresh and floral (this sounds very teeny but it's not!) with a cream undertone. In lalique le parfum that cream undertone is the one trying really hard to sweeten everything up. But here everything is so well balanced and all notes provide togheter to this mild comfortable sweetness they all have from themselves. Though I really like the fact that it starts kind of humble, and gets fresher and more persistent along the way. Really like a flower which is going to bloom. Not trashy, well balanced... Yes I love it... More than the original!

ps: I think Charlize Theron is a very good chosen representative of J'adore...

I have the feeling that the list with notes mentioned here, is not complete.
In the opening i smell lily of the vally (a lot) with peach. It smells flowery, fruity and green.
For a moment it reminds me of 'Dalissime' , but i dont know how accurate that thought is, because i havent smelled Dalissime for a long time..
Then the notes blend with the other flowers. It is something like jasmine/tuberose and it reminds me of the original j'adore.
The oriental base notes are always there, but its becoming more and more noticable. I can smell the patchouli with labdanum, but that part doesnt smell natural to me. Patchouli and jasmine/tuberose tend to become a mess on my skin, so i dont know if its just me or the perfume.
In the end there is a sweet, fruityfloral-patchouli scent left which reminds me somewhere of 'Wish'.

I find it not original, but i have the feeling that this is advertised to a big crowd. And i find it way too expensive for that! Other than that i like it (and love the bottle).

This new J'adore is excellent! It's absolutely epitomizing the New Femininity and it is, a piece of work which shows the skills of a great perfumer. Women, don't have any second thought about it, just get it!

Very nice and soft ...i like it but smells familiar ..reminds me of Coco Madmoiselle and also of another perfume but can't figure out which yet...it is maddening the name is on the tip of my tongue but can't spit it out...will update!

I bought it today for the first time and I have to admit it was love at first ... smell!
The bottle is gorgeous and the fragrance is fantastic as well: the vanilla extract is so soft and sensual, you do not get headhache if you wear it, it is simply fantasic!
I am very fond of it, do not wait to try it ...

The bottle is gorgeous! The fragrance itself is intoxicating in warm deliciousness and sharp freshness. I must admit it is a bit more intense than Dior J'adore, at least it is to my senses anyway. I also think that there is a bit more sweetness added if not more to this one when compared to J'adore. Buying it tomorrow after thinking about it for 24 hrs (my new rule now. Perfect gift for Christmas! I think Iam going to pick up a bottle or gift set of this one for my mom later on for Christmas as well.

It's nothing special.
And I must say I didn't expect a miracle, I only like J'Adore L'Absolu from this collection.
The scent is a very simple oriental floral, with rich sweet flowers on a warm base - and still reminds the original.
In my opinion, there are dozens of perfumes similar in character to this.

I didn't smell patchouli. Pity, because it could save this one for me.
Easily forgettable.
And so expensive!

The sillage and longevity is very good.
But it's an Essence de Parfum, isn't it.

This perfume and the bottle it is in is absolutely magnificent - can't wait to try it. Sounds absolutely briliantly luxurious and sensual.Love the original J'Adore but with the new formula should this one should be divine. Christmas is coming and I will be putting this one on my Christmas List for sure!
