Video
J’adore is a modern, glamorous fragrance, which has become incredibly popular, and for that reason developed in number of variants of different concentrations. J’adore is a luminous fragrance. Its opulent, golden scent shimmers on skin like sunbeams. The classic and ambitions of this fragrance reflects in the bottle shaped like Greek amphora. J’adore presents a new conception of Dior feminity, a scent so new and so in line with Dior style at the same time – sweet but balmy, slightly sharp floral with fresh mandarin in the top; jasmine, plum, orchid and rose in the heart; and amaranth, musk and blackberry in the trail. It was created in 1999.

I dries down similar to Fragile EDT on my skin. I find it sour, resinous and sharp, almost metallic when it comes to the base notes. The EDT is more wearable, though.

Nothing special.. this fragrance bores me a lot!.. It is nice and pleasant but nothing memorable or complex!
I like the fact that it's fresh and has the touch of something romantic!
The concept of this perfume mislead me.. I was expecting something more elegant and at the same time glamorous but all I get is a pleasant common flowery scent.

I've had this perfume and like it all right. It is romantic and a little playful, long lasting, and you get a lot of compliments when you wear it.
I wouldn't make this my "signature" fragrance however, it has a bit of a sensual touch that is not completely to my taste nor goes well with my personality.

The scent is sofisticated,classy, elegant, young.

Magnolia, Peach, Pear, Melon, Bergamot....this is fruity goodness. The fruits of this fragrance dazzle and sparkle. J'adore is so deliciously yummy and invigorating. This was my signature fragrance a few years ago. I wore this stuff out, every drop of it. The bottle is lovely, the fragrance is lovely. There isn't anything about it that isn't lovely. Man, I love this stuff. I think, I'll go buy a new bottle tomorrow.

It's hard not to like this perfume. It's a playful & sweet perfume.
It's the scent of young adult ladies giggling on a sunny afternoon wearing beautiful colorful dresses.

Thanks Exciter76 - it's a fragrance worth shouting about....& I totally agree that it is a mercurial scent. It really is worth a day's wear to get to know its facets on YOUR skin, even if you are put off, at first, by sniffing the saccharine bottle (as I was!). It's now my 'happy' scent for 2009 - keeping me bubbly! :)

Sky76sky, what you wrote was pure poetry .
Syrupy sweet? Sure, and it's unapologetically so. Lasting, you bet. I found this fragrance played off my body chemistry more than most fragrances; the dry down (which lingered the entire day well into the evening) was a delicious blend of lily-of-the-valley, orchid, and vanilla. On one of my co-workers, the scent of peaches and magnolias was strong. On my friend, it was the lingering, smoldering scent of musk that made it her own.
I am simply smitten with this mercurial fragrance.

Looking at the tester bottle I start imagining the luxurious, gilded olfactory world I was about to enter...Charlize Theron, bouffant & ultra-rich wants to wear this rather than clothes, better than gold & jewels - it's going to smell like luxury, sophistication & high class raunch, right? Wrong....
This isn't Ladies Day at Ascot, this is an effervescent, sherbert fizz of cheeky, cheap & cheerful ice-cold bubbly on a hot day with a touch of sun-warmed, hand-squashed ripe fruits! It's heady - it almost gave me a headache just like drinking champers in the sun - but the huge floral lift gives it a far more playful edge.
This is not the sophisticated fragrance I expected...and yet I like it all the more for its mischievous miss-selling ...it flips its summery short skirt at subtle (this baby's got power with plenty of staying). It eats peaches whole & drips the juice on dark & sultry, snobby orientals (this one's naughty & flirty, barefoot-on-the-beach sexy). It's a Lolita of perfumes that sucks sweet lollypops & crushes sweet flowers between its toes.
It is certainly not a fragrance I would normally wear - I prefer less obvious & more complex scents with plenty of grounded base notes to hold them down….J’adore threatens to fly away on sugar-coated wings! However, I surprised myself by actually enjoying this more than I probably should dare to admit. It suited the hot, spring day & lifted my mood - I felt sassy & cheeky, young & frivolous, blonde & bubbly.
I have smelt this scent on many rich & powerful older business women & it has left me wondering whether, by wearing it, they are alluding to their youthful kittenish side - a wink & a nod to the knowing.
Sadly, just like champagne, the fizz gradually faded & left a rather flat, sugary, un-interesting hangover.
Is it gold? Yes, gold shoes & Costa del Sol, or possibly high fashion trash gold leggings on a leggy blonde beaut. Is it rich? Not old-school powder, pearls & posh manners but brash, don't-care-who-knows-it new-money. Do I like it? Yes - against all odds - she's honest, flirty & fun...who doesn't like a good-time gal?

The scent of my junior year of highschool! I wore this scent when I went to Paris and it seemed to work well there. I guess I got a little sick of it after a full year of wear. I always found the pear note very noticeable along with the lily of the valley and rose. Now when I smell this stuff I think of France and being 17. I have noticed that this scent smells very different on everyone. On three different occasions I have smelled something lovely on a friend or acquaintance, without recognizing it at all I would ask what is was and each time it was J'adore. The cool thing is that the women i've smelled it on ranged in age from 14 to 65 and it worked so well for each of them. Try this scent, it might be for you! Maybe not for ever, but for a trip to Paris or your junior year of highschool, or the 65th year of your life, this scent might work.

i love this perfume very much it's very fruity and floral but i think it's one of the best perfumes bi Dior
04/02/09 17:02:17
Christian Dior J'adore was my first perfume and I LOVED it. It was love at first - smell and I can say without hesitation that I adore it
It's quite sweet but quite strong too, in a nice way. Its smell is captivating, sweet but yet fresh, it leaves you in a - I am beautiful - state of mind, sending you in a dreamworld. The bottle is amazing and the color looks really nice.
And the best part is that is lasts all day long.

I must say I was rather surprised by this fragrance. By just looking at the bottle, the advertisements and the overall love that people have for this, I was expecting your typical floral that smells comforting, yet so much like Grandma.
I was quite astounded by its fruity notes when I first sprayed J'adore. It wasn't a horrid blast of citrus or overly sweetened fruits, it was more subdued and sophisticated. If I had to pick a fragrance that was similiar in its composition, elegance and style, I would say Miss Dior Cherie is rather similiar.
The scent itself is indeed very strong, but for me that is a quality that I enjoy in my perfumes. It definitely, in my opinion, has the potential to be a very seductive and sexy fragrance, as I have heard that many men prefer fruity scents on their women.
I believe that this scent would be signature worthy because it is not something that I can imagine someone tiring of quickly. Although best suited to special occasions and nightwear, I can imagine this being worn as a casual fragrance. I believe that its versatility relies on how much scent you apply to your skin. Remember that less is more when you use J'adore.

It does smell sweet and clean all in one. I absolutely love it and it makes me feel sophisticated (even if im not :).
03/16/09 22:22:05
i tried it today and i am really confused about it,i don t know if i like it or not.smells indeed sweet ...but on the other hand fruity also,i don t like the first notes,fruity ones,but the dry down seems nice..uhmm...i will have to try it once more to decide. this perfume isn t quite original but it s not common either. i will make an update to this later.
03/13/09 18:11:46
this was my first perfume..and still use it occasionally up until now, altho i have many others collections. i'd already stick to this j'adore for more than 7 years~
02/27/09 10:59:46
This used to be my favorite scent when it came out. The fruits, the Lily-of-the-Valley, and the vanilla all dance so well together. This smells like success to me- a polished, lovely woman who is secure in her place in the world. Alas, it has been a victim of its own success to a degree, and many other perfumes made since this came out seem to sing the same tune. It's no longer singular, but it's still lovely.
02/22/09 21:08:19
Very feminine. Its comforting in a strange way. I love it sooo much. And its got this sweet top note that I can't put my finger on, and its perfect. Not too much but just enough to get your attention.
02/19/09 13:42:09
The absolute femininity!
A fruity floral bouqet. More than a sensual and refined fragrance, a sheer myth.
This refreshing, flowery scent possesses a blend of floral orchids, violets, rose and blackberry musk.

I had this mini more than a year ago. I remember it was very sweet flowery and elegant. The good thing is this perfume is likable and very easy to wear. But also kind of not original and has weak staying power. It's very popular, even my mum loves it. For me- not interesting. I used to love the ad when I was 9.
I don't think it's a 'gold' scent. Gold is Fendi Palazzo. Much more interesting for me.

Where did you girls and guys find "floral"? This perfume has one, only ONE scent - this is a scent of GOLD. The first ads photo and video describes this perfume very exactly: THIS IS GOLD.
This is perfume for opera night with expensive night dress and for bed.
I can not imagine why woman wear it for office, even if the office is bank (I used to work in banks)?!
This is not "for everybody in our office". This is definitely "for my rich husband". This is "warm gold" scent "for an addition to my golden and diamond toys".
It can be weared INSTEAD of gold jewellery. It supersedes GOLD on a woman. It can substitute gold on a woman. Wearing it makes an illusion a woman wearing golden jewellery.
Where did you find "floral"? Its GOLD!

It´s a sociable perfume, I think. Not too strong, not too light. I like it because my aunt uses it since I was a kid. Is a perfume that reminds me my childhood.
01/29/09 07:37:18
Taliera: you are very right when you say (a scent to fit in,not to stand out).
I do not own this myself nor have I tested on myself "YET" but at my job where I work with & serve to many high class women I smell this everywhere.On New years eve I would have to say about 20 people at the party had this on & 2 co workers.It does smell different on everyone though because I actually had to ask a few of them what they were wearing (only to find out it was Ja'dore)

01/28/09 05:42:27
This is a sweet floral with a bit of warmth. Sophisticated, grown-up, and classic. I cannot really sense anything unique about this fragrance though. If there was a generic fragrance just called "Perfume", this is what it would smell like to me.
01/25/09 21:37:24
It's just THE BEST! I've never met a single person, woman or man, who wouldn't like this fragrance. Even though i read some negative comments - in my experience, J'adore is an ultimate fragrance, that's appealing to anybody. Truly Amazing!
01/23/09 13:15:15
It seems like I should like this perfume: After all, it's got a sexy marketing strategy-the commercial with Charlize Theron is fantastic. I love Dior perfumes, so I should like it for that reason, right? Love the bottle, so I could like it for that reason I suppose. But I just can't warm up to this one no matter how hard I try. It just isn't, to me, a 'special' perfume that sets itself apart from others. It's not unpleasant by any means. I just can't seem to enjoy wearing it. I would try to describe it, but it is so oddly generic to my nose. I can see where this could be considered a classy perfume because it has sophistication. And the staying power is wonderful. I just wish what hung around on my skin for the day was more exciting.
01/14/09 15:46:56
I loved this perfume a long time ago. Men love this and would stop to ask what I was wearing! To me it smells like a modern twist to Spellbound by Estee Lauder.
01/14/09 07:54:14
I used to love this scent. Too bad when I had the EDP as a gift, it was not the same with the tester. Too watery..I detested it after that. And the colour was lighter, almost white. And it is an authentic one. Who knows what happened...
01/02/09 01:33:58
I finally tried J'Adore on my skin yesterday after walking past it a million times.
The top notes were very clean and soapy.
The middle notes were AMAZING - as soon as I smelt them I thought, I WANT THIS as the jasmine and other florals smelt just glorious.
Unfortunately the Middle notes did not last long & the last drydown to the base notes, although not unpleasant, seemed generic & a bit flat.
If the Middle notes stayed to the end, I would have bought this perfume pronto, they do not last long enough for me. It is a shame.

Nice perfume. A little bit too sweet for my taste.
12/15/08 04:48:39
How weird...I usually do love floral fruity fragrances but J'adore I don't adore that much. In fact I just don't care about it at all despite of its huge worldwide success, and there is a good and simple reason to my dislike. This particular perfume contains way too much everything, ending up a real mess without any originality. Dior could do better.
12/08/08 12:18:57
This is a fruity floral, with the peach and rose standing out most for me. If it were color it would be the peachy pink of some excellent dry French rosés. A very fresh, almost (but not quite) sophisticated non-bold floral. It starts out a bit too fruity but calms down some. A little more bright than I like my perfumes, but very nice and wearable.
The dry down is soft and cheerful. I can't say I adore it. But it's nice. Just nice.
This is yet another one I'd love to have just for the bottle!

Despite all the hype about this perfume, I can take it or leave it. It is nice, jasmine, inoffensive, pretty, golden... My mother's best friend wears it, but it feels like it's a scent to fit in, not to stand out (not like me!) ;) However you can't beat the bottle and adverts - just beautiful...
11/25/08 04:11:06
I'm not exaggerating to say it's one of the 20 top perfumes of all the times.it open with flower scents with some mild fruity noses.I think it's suitable for every season,every age and every taste.because it has the fruity scents of fruity lovers and the warm fragnance of oriental fans at the time.
the bottle is extra ordinare too.

I like this one, it has great staying power and the bottle is different and pretty.
11/08/08 08:33:59
J'adore can be worn at any time, in my opinion. Though quite strong in begining, but fresh as well. As a fragrance not bad, but I've found it quite generic, nothing memorable, but 'safe' perfume to buy for a present. Don't want it for myself though
10/22/08 15:44:40
Warm, strong, popular.I came to conclusion I don't like the flowers in it. It is so annoying on my skin. That constant warmness or something else just won't let me like this Dior.
10/08/08 21:03:29
It smelled sexy but also casual.
What can i say? I'm confused...
It's sexy but also fresh..
It's classy but casual..
No comment..
One thing for sure, it smelled nice.

This appears to be a slight disappointment for me. It's floral but only for the top note. The dry down struck me as a flat, boring, plain smell that kinda reminds me of the smell of ammonia. I couldn't wait to wash if off... On the other hand, the staying power is good. The scent isn't too complex.
10/02/08 13:54:33
lovely for a day at work, nice, I dont like the first smell of it, I rather like it after 1 hour, it is so soft. Althout it is edp - not lasting at all.
09/26/08 11:35:00
its my perfume while i was in the school and all the girls were loving me because of my lovely warm smell and i still love it but it become old now there s many edition are more better than it
09/20/08 10:36:41
It's a lovely fragrance but not one of my favourites
09/17/08 04:39:31
this is my favorits perfume tell now i love love loveeeeeeeeee it.....
09/04/08 06:25:06
I LOVE this scent but disagree with the casual thing cause I thinks it's pretty invasive. And I prefer the EDT as well, probably because I live on a 365 days summer season.
08/30/08 12:28:27
I like this scent, but it doesn't seem very long lasting. It fades very quickly and though it's pleasant, I wouldn't rush out to buy it.
08/30/08 10:49:38
smells like something else just not sure what...not very original but lovely scent
08/29/08 11:06:41
I fall in love with it! It's elegant and sweet. I think the bottle is gorgeous too. I use it when i'm temporary bored with my stile donna..my husband also likes it smell..so it's just perfect
07/15/08 21:41:24
Really lovely perfume...sweet, innocent, slightly warm. I liked it, but a little too casual for me.
07/05/08 08:28:46
I like the first 30 mins when I wear it, but afterward the base note becomes too powdery and too stimulant to me. I think it's a kind of perfume a lady should wear it with delicate make up and a evening gown.
06/22/08 23:43:11
Very feminine and tender combination of sweet white flowers and hints of fruity notes. It seduces with discreet and recognizable Dior classy notes, perfect for spring and summer days. Delightful composition and adorable bottle design.
06/06/08 04:22:17
In my opinion, the fragrance smells so different on different people that you can't say whether it's good or bad. Once I smelled it on an other woman and I just loved it, but on me, it is too fruity. The concentrated version is a bit better, I should think.
03/26/08 11:59:55
I am really disappointed. I have loved all Dior fragrances up until this point. Just too flowery for me and not complex enough. I am glad that I got this as a sample before making a blind buy.
03/26/08 09:01:44
I got this as a present from my cousin & I love it so very much.It's very expensive in my country so it is only worn on special occassions :) I love designer perfumes & this is prob my fav thus far.
12/21/07 20:24:22
This is a little sweet for me and a little too flowery. I had wanted it for years and finally broke down and bought a gift set but ended up returning it because I just didn't fall in love with it.
11/16/07 05:53:40
I know this perfume very well. It's smell very flowery, and I would say that this is a perfume so addicting, elegant, romantic, special, and the smell stay in my clothes for days. And in my body too, in the morning I can feel the scent. It's ethereal, strong better for the night but perfect for the work. It's my favorite perfume ever
11/05/07 13:55:57
It's rather pleasant, but I wouldn't say it's addicting. It is hugely popular probably because it isn't all that original and it's something most would say is wearable and likeable. The bottle is beautiful.
