J`adore Eau de Parfume Dior for women

If you're looking for something feminine and not over the top, this perfume is for you. I like to wear it on a regular basis since it's not very strong and overbearing :)

First Dior I've tried. Completely faded from me within 5 hours. I thought it smelled fine. Not great, but certainly not cheap. My 11 yr old said YUCK. Hubby and 7 yr old said "fine" too.

So it's a pass for me.

Of course, it is competing with Chanel Coco Mademoiselle on the other arm, which got 4 thumbs up!

i dont like this one to strong not my scent..

One of very few parfumes that I'm on my second bottle now. It is sweet, and so feminine. I LOVE it!

I´m great Dior parfums fan, but I hate this at all, only can to have a great headheache,I´m sorry but not for me.

@ mylancome: Thats too bad, because I don't make 25 % more money then a few years ago :( :P ! But I miss the smell of j'adore in my perfume wardrobe..

Tinaelisa: Same here in Malaysia too. I heard the sales person said they re-adjust (aka raise price) the price every year.

I owned this some years ago and just wanted to buy again. But what did I saw in the perfume store? The price has gone up with almost 25 % ! When I bought it a few years ago (the eau de parfum) the price was 52 euros for 50 ml. Now the price is 74 euros for the 50 ml. Pff now I will not repurchase. Come on.. that is seriously overpriced...

When I bought it some years ago, they didn't had al the new versions of j'adore. It was just j'adore eau de parfum and nothing more. I guess it became a pretty big hype overtime :(

清风纸巾的味道！

Oh I love it. This scent will always remind me of my best friend although she hasn't used it in years. I think this perfume is very classy and feminine and I far as I have heard the bottle symbolises the female body with a very long neck.

I discovered this fragrance years ago when I was younger and I couldn't appreciate it until now. j'adore is truly glorious. It's floral and fruity with a subtle hint of sweetness. The campaign ad couldn't be more spot on. It's rich, sophisticated and striking. Grand entrance material!

I had this for a long time and I absolutely loved it, I think i must have gone through at least 3 bottles. It lingered on my skin for ages and made me feel so sophisticated and sexy.

But then one day one of my guy friends smelled me and told me that I smelled really good, and that it reminded him of his mum... So I gave it to my mum.

This is one of the most beautiful fragrances I have ever smelled. It's so elegant and classy.

J’adore Dior is soft sensual elegance. African orchid is a bright beautiful floral and the champaca flowers are a deep scent of magnolia. Damascus plum and mandarin add a perfect sweetness. Light and sultry with a scent that will last the entire day. J’adore is Dior’s golden girl and truly a timeless classic loved by all women.

My Husband bought it as a gift for me yesterday after many years of thinking whether I should buy it or not where everytime i go for something else, but now I finally have it.. It is defeneatly a man's fav .. he simply loves it and I believe every man does..

Instantly seduced by the « florality » of this perfume on the first try, I bought it on a whim (unfortunately). I stopped wearing it once my fiance (far from being impressed) told me it reminds him ..."his grandmother"! After many times wearing it, I understood very well what he meant...

It's a very good quality juice (as all the Dior), but just too equally-floral-fruity symmetric and linear. Nothing special in the composition. I finally got bored and sold it. The frag is monotone, has no character, but the bottle is gorgeous.

Is it the bottle? the great advertising? or the fragrance which makes J'adore a class in it's league?

I'll buy the historical inspiration for the bottle but I thought its very subliminal.

The fragrance, the fragrance...undeniably lush orchids. I believe,these orchids originate from an exotic rendezvous paradise in Indonesia .The abundance of orchids dancing harmoniously with notes of tangy mandarin makes every perfume lover say " It's love at first smell."

Hmm, nevermind the advertising.

While the name J'adore secured the fragrance's demi god status. Personally, I would have called this fragrance-- La Javanaise, to pay homage to its birthplace .Cheers France!

A must for every woman of beauty.

J'adore has a very feminine and sophisticated smell. I know quite many people who wear that (myself included) and it really doesn't seem to change a lot from person to person. It's also very long-lasting and the bottle is surely one of the greatest perfume bottles ever.

So nice and elegant, smells very expensive. I tried it at the mall on my wrist and kept smelling it over and over again... Bought a big bottle and had no regrets. It lingers long on the skin, and on the drydown it becomes even better. It gets lighter but still remains noticeable. It is flowery, bright, a little bit sweet, and so romantic. I think this one would be good for both office wear or a romantic evening. Such a wonderful smell! LOVE IT!!

Unfortunately this fragrance makes me feel sick, it is very overpowering and although I love the smell of it on others it does not suit my body chemistry.

I really wanted to like this, you know how most fragrances change with body PH, this one does not change on me at all, it smells exactly like what it smells on the bottle, and that triggers a headache. Maybe it´s due to the concentration of the parfum, but I´m going to keep it in my collection.

It doesn´t remind me of anything else I own so I Give it that it´s unique and very classy but unfortunately, it´s not for me.

So similar to Fragile I can forget which one I'm wearing.

every time i smell a scient of melon whitch i hate in a perfume a figure out it is ugly jador with melon in i hate it this perfume just because melon

Smells like a bright summer day, a bouquet of flowers and sweet vanilla mixed with fresh linens. Just a spritz lasts for hours even after washing hands several times. Has a warm hypnotizing aroma that lingers after the initial fresh and sweet scent. Husband can't stop sniffing me.

Elegant and sexy.

I love J'adore. Its ultra feminine composition of flowers and fruit is spectacular. Soft white flowers, rose, magnolia with melon and pear. Divine! I think that Charlize Theron suits the fragrance very well, she always seems so natural, effortless and elegant on the red carpet.

ES UNA MARAVILLA DE PERFUME, SE LO REGALE A MI HIJA Y ELLA QUEDO ENCANTADA TAMBIEN, UN OLOR INCEIBLEMENTE DELICIOSO

this is the very first perfume that i ever fell truly in love with : ) heavenly, lovely and dreamy yet sophisticated and royal

I hate it :( gives me headache and it smells.......cheap on me :( doesnt work with my skin ph very well :( smells lovely in a bottle but on me its a complete disaster :(

It's heavenly!!!! OMG, I love it soooo much! It's very classy, elegant, pretty, words can't describe how good the juice is! The bottle is also great!!

Elegant, sophisticated, sparkling, luxurious, modern, classy, romantic, feminine, ‘grown up’ sexiness fragrance!
J’adore opens with a beautiful combination of fruits and flowers. I find it hard to pick out certain notes in this one as they are all so beautifully blended together. A very elegant fragrance that is very well balanced!
This is a light fragrance that is very long lasting and has just the right amount of sillage without it being overwhelming! Less is more when you use J’adore!
A great fruity floral scent that is suitable for all seasons! Preferably for evenings but can easily be worn for day use. Very pleasant and wearable!
This scent reminds me of a successful woman with elegance, grace and style, draped in expensive gold jewellery.
Comes in an elegant classy bottle too!
Well done Dior!

When I first got a whiff of this sometime back, it was rather repulsive. Now after years, I kinda like it. I think this is one evergreen perfume out there that all women should have at least a bottle of. I can see how this can find itself as a signature scent (not mine but to loads of women) without it being repulsive (unlike Chanel's icky Mademoiselle).

On me it had a mosquito spray smell to it. Just didn't work with my chemistry.

oh my God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!i adore it!!!!!its my JADORE!!!!its so elegant and i love this.its have an expensive smell its a signature...thank you dior!

FROM DARRSHAN

RICH, ELEGANT, SOPHASTICATED AND A GREAT FLORAL FROM DIOR, JADORE IS SOMETHING ALL SHOULD ADORE . GOOD LONGEVITY AND PROJECTION IS QUIET BEAUTIFUL. ALL IN ALL A BEAUTIFUL FLORALE FRAGRANCE BUY THE EDP AND LOR VERSION ,

This was my signature scent for such a long time! It's gorgeous, elegant, sophisticated and yet so extremely sexy and sensual! I want to have to have it again. <3

I bought the original J`adore Eau de Parfume when it was launched in 1999. One day, when I was shopping at a department store, I heard a little boy whispering to his father, "this lady smells good, dad".

The father was embarrassed, but I was happy. This was the first time I was complimented by wearing a nice fragrance.

You know, children don't lie! ;)

A little bit oriental scent. I love it to wear at night.
It makes me feel as a sophisticated and elegant woman.
It is heavy, so we should wear very small doses.

Very nice, sweet, but not too much, floral, "happy" fragrance. Great for a lovely spring day, I like it a lot! :)

A store seller told me it was one of the best fragrances in the world, it smells lovely alright. My husband bought it for me as a gift but it turned out it was a counterfeit, It smelled like the real deal for 5 minutes then It faded away, I went to the store to find out about it, turns out the real deal doesn't last that long on me either...so my hubby didn't loose his money after all!

I'm normally an oriental lover, so when I received a bottle of this from an ex-boyfriend, I expected to not like it. I thought it would be overpowering and way too flowery - acutally I really was expecting a cheap hairspray smell. I tried it out on a tester instead of actually putting it on, and decided right then and there that I hated it. It wasn't until recently that I decided to give it a shot, and boy was I surprised! No, I don't like the initial spray - the top notes are a bit overwhelming to my nose... but the dry down is divine. It's delicate and feminine and floral in just the right way. I'm not sure about longevity - I seem to lose the scent after a few hours, but it could just be me (unfortunate!). It's a pretty, innocent, work-appropriate scent, and I'm so glad I gave it a chance. Maybe the ex didn't have such bad taste after all!

I have bought it 3 times in the past 7 years. This perfume is very elegant. If you are a fan of jasmine, you should buy it. My husband loves it on me.

i am wearing this now and i love it alot, but sometimes i just think it smells abit warm, i would prefer something that does not smell warm or cool.

I know this has a loyal following, but I've never liked it one little bit. Reminds me of breath or farts. The breath of either someone who's been eating a salad with a lot of cucumber in it or the breath of someone who's recently brushed their teeth and it's gone a bit stale since. As for the farts, just a light airy, gassy fart, like a little kid's fart. I dunno, there's something nasty and breathy/gassy about it. No thanks.

Fantastic !!!

I like it when i sniff on a card, but on me... I really get sick. Not for me.

I am quite astonished at reading various reviews stating that J'adore is strong, overpowering, intoxicating... it probably depends on people's chemistry.
In France J'adore has been a best-seller for many years, and that's why I'm nearly ashamed of loving it so much. Unfortunately it's one of the few perfumes which I can't smell when wearing it (and I wish I did), and which I can wear when I'm pregnant when any other perfume makes me sick. So nothing strong nor intoxicating for me. I wear it on any occasion, at work,in summer, in the evening and I've often been told how good I smell (especailly by men). Strangely, some people know J'adore but don't recognize it on me and are surprised.
I think it's a sexy, feminine perfume, well-balanced, a fruity jasmine/tuberose. I love it, yet I prefer the more flowery, stronger and less fruity J'adore L'Absolu.
My forever favorites.

I opened my bottle bought at the LAX airport Duty Free(last May) today. Have been saving it for a special occasion and it was worth it! I can smell the crisp pear, jasmine and white flowers and then it softens off to a gorgeous golden warmth. Put it on at 8am this morning and I can still smell it at 10.30pm tonight. I would call it more a "warm floral" than a fruity floral. It is just lovely and beats Chanel 5 "hands down" to me. Will definitely be keeping this one in my perfume wardrobe. (I also have the Versace Versace and they are quite similar - Versace is very fresh but J'adore is warmer and more romantic).
Alexandrarae South Australia

Just smells like really expensive soap. Or floral cleaning products. That's it.

smells precious. for a woman that knows what she wants. Good for any season and any time of the day.
I think it has also amber notes

That's quite funny because I usually refrain from using strong smelling perfumes (and god knows expensive brands make them pretty overwhelming). A relative of mine used to wear J'adore, and I thought the scent of it was overly flowery with a heady woodsy note that gave me thundering headaches.
But as I started using a sample of J'adore, a few drops on my skin only release jasmine and magnolia scents. After an hour or so, very sweet notes of vanilla, lily of the valley and faint sandalwood. Then the sandalwood TOTALLY disappears and gives way to rose, pear, peach and lily of the valley (which I think is the most longlasting note).
An elixir of feminity which I think is at it's best when one uses a really small amount of it: too much and it smells like cheap garden flowers and sandalwood (cheap as well).
But the fragance is really popular and got somewhat unoriginal: I only wear it for myself, just to sniff once and then the inside of my wrist and tell myself "This smells really, reaaaally good".
And god knows why, when it's about to disappear and you really have to press your nose against you skin to smell it, it reminds me of Dior Homme when worn by an acquaintance of mine...

I was wearing a sample of this, and my husband commented twice about how much he liked it. So, as a novice, I bought a 1.7 oz bottle.
Big mistake.
Although I like this scent in very, very small doses, I know that if I overdo it just a little, I will wind up gagging on it. I have to use it so sparingly that I got a rollerball atomizer to apply it.
At this rate, this bottle should last me until the end of the Cenozoic Era. They are going to bury me with this bottle. Better yet, bury my husband with it since he's so crazy about it.
Well, this isn't much of a review, except to say that this is a big, flowery, heady perfume that will drive men nuts. Spray it in places on your body where he can smell but your nose can't reach.

my signature fragrance just this !!!!its my love forever!!

love the new film for this fragrance check it out on the Dior website

Very glamourous & grown-up and lasts forever. Beautifully packaged ( if you care about that) and will be noticed by others. Expensive.

I might go back to it. I miss this scent so much!! sigh

they have reformulated this perfume
notes have been changed

o my how rich and soft in the same time ,how can be one fragrance soooo much elegant and beuthiful????go for it
'

so sad they are reformulating this fragrance.
i saw on dior official website

In my opinion, this could be worn for day time as easily as night time. Everytime I wear this one - my fav by Dior - I always get compliments from my girlfriends but definitely from the guys side too. It brings out my sexy, crazy, confident side which is also why i love it so much! A definite must have in a collection!

J'adore first smelt on me like a cheap garden of flowers.

I knew I was very wrong when I sensed that.

Yesterday, I gave J'adore another try, and I cant belive how different it was. It was rich, classy, full of melody, and it's like a girl bursting with happiness and dancing with a bouquet of flowers. Really charming, but for the kind woman who gives away all her pennies to children. Not for the woman who always feels posh, high and mighty, and marches away with an air of impatience. Not harsh at all, but sleek, bold, elegant and kind.

The most exquisite femininity by Christian Dior.

LIQUID GOLD. PURE SILK. That is what this smells like! It is the epitomy of glamour, luxury, sophistication, class, opulence. It just smells GORGEOUS, beautiful, feminine, SMOOTH, fresh, clean, wow! There just aren't enough words to describe how great this smells on me! It is a soft, sweet floral smell with just the right hint of fruitiness at the top. It isn't too sweet or sickening though. I can't imagine anyone finding this offensive. This is an expensive perfume and you can really smell why. You can tell it's made with quality ingredients. To me this smells unique though other reviews may disagree. I haven't ever smelled a floral scent as good as this. To me this is suitable for any age. Maybe not for teenagers, but young women starting at 18 and up to much more mature women. That is because it smells young and fresh, but has a sophisticated quality. It's also not too old and stuffy or musty smelling. It's just PERFECT. I also think this is perfect for any occasion, time of day, weather, or season. It's soft, fresh and floral so it's good for summer, yet it has some body and this warm golden quality which makes it suitable for fall and winter in my opinion. On me, the EDP lasts a pretty long time for a floral, and seems to have good silage- others can usually always smell it on me, and I always get lots of compliments! I wear about three (maybe 4) sprays, and it's just right, not overpowering, but it's not like you can't smell it either. To me this is the most perfect floral perfume out there!!! It smells exactly the way the bottle looks- GORGEOUS!

This one MUST have been reformulated since I wore it in the 90`s. Then it was smooth and nice, but now it´s all "mature" and sour flowers. I`ll pass.

This has an elegant, sophisticated and feminine scent. very wearable and not overpowering so it's suitable for daytime as well as wearing it in the evening. I use this year-round in every occasion. It's perfect for me.
The smell stays on almost all day long. Bottle is simple and elegant.
My favourite perfume ever. A bit expensive in my country, but I buy it online so it's more affordable.

J'adore has a wonderful golden fruit smell when you first put it on. It also has a touch of bitterness to it, like when you first bite into the hard rough skin of a pear. It's warm, dry but ever so slightly sticky, somewhat intoxicating and definitely sexy.

But for my taste, it's a little too imposing in it's intoxication, too austere in it's sensuality, like a woman so glamorous as to be unapproachable. It's not very inviting. So I think that for most women, it's a bit pretentious to try and pull this perfume off. I think it probably is perfect for Charlize Theron, but few others.

The choice of the bottle shape and color is perfect: It reminds me of the African women with long neck rings: evoking the golden fruit of Africa, and it's sensual woman.

I remember this when it first launched. This was something all the young girls would wear before the lauch of the celebrity fragrances that smell like food. Its very flowery and last all day. But an older women can wear it also. This reminds me of 9th grade. It was my first real parfum from my mother.
It last all day! I had the gift set, the shower gel is pack with parfum and so is the lotion. I would layer this on and literally when I came home from school, it was there without retouching. Dior makes quality fragrances that last for hours!

i guess i am quite bored of this perfume.....

Smells great on other people. Alas, on me, it's no better than insect repellent. (A very expensive insect repellent.)

I like this perfume, but I cannot believe all the people who say it's too strong. It may go on that way for some, but no way did this last very long...petered out in an hour. Very nice scent in a gorgeous bottle, but I will save my pennies for something that lasts a little longer.

One of my favourite perfume of all time! I can't describe how much I love this one. It's strong and expensive. The scent is very sweet but it makes me feel more glamorous than fresh. However this one is not everyday-use perfume. It's perfect when you're going to some luxury place. This is very special perfume.
The lasting power is great as well. J'dore it!

extremely heavy, dont know how its possible to have it on

I had this as a gift however, it is too strong for me and it really makes me sick

Before this got reformulated it was a beautiful, chic scent that turned heads and made me feel classy and confident.

The fruity opening was very fresh and clean and had a feeling of richness to it as the vanilla and musky notes emerged in the drydown.

For me this was an evening scent, and my favorite Dior fragrance. It really did feel like wearing the perfume equivalent of beautiful gold jewelry.

However, the smell has definitely changed and it's lost the beauty that once made it so special.

The packaging is at least still beautiful.

Love the design of the bottle. It smells so feminine and special.
It's too bad that i got allergy to this smell.
I got thirsty and headach everytime i use it.
So sad...

It smells so golden and expensive, heavy yet addicting, elegant and feminine. In other words, I LOVE IT! A must try if you are interested in floral, feminine and expensive smelling perfumes

I agree with some of the other reviewers - J'Adore smells like a shampoo. It's a fruity-floral that doesn't necessarily smell cheap, just shampoo-like. Doesn't do anything for me.

personal opinion. I'm not fond of this. This fragrance wasn't too bad. I am just not fond of sweet florals. It didn't give me a headache or irritate me when I smelled it. I put it on my wrists and neck lightly and it lasted all day. It is the second time I have gotten a sample vial and I still don't like it. I also don't think it is anything spectacular.... ok so now for being objective: It is a sweeter floral so probably best for day wear, spring and summer. The fragrance lasts all day even applied lightly so a bottle would last a person a long time.

Its is so nice smelling perfume,i love this one,the best from all J'adores for me.

It`s a light, delicate fragrance. On my skin the top and middle notes with fruit and flowers dominate, and I can`t seem to get the basenotes out. So on my skin this is a light day-time perfume. I have it at home, but I struggle to empty it because I miss vanilla and spicy notes.

It weak knees as K1 wrote, sensual, well done, feminine, smells like love 10/10

i can fall easily on a woman wearing this.

Aphrodisiac!
Weakens men's knees and they just surrender!
Floral, elegant and charming in a luxurious way, and so pity that any company tries to release a copy of this one.
Not so good idea for day life, performs perfectly on night dress. You can guarantee your feminine charisma that gives men an ecstasy and aura!
By the way, although I adore this perfume, its branches are just boring because there's nothing interesting for people who smell, maybe for who wears it only.
I prefer EDP and nothing else.

I finally got my hands on this perfume. Fell in love with it after first sniff.
It is a very fresh, yet mysterious and classy fragrance witch makes me think of this sexy and confident woman.
I really like it and i am dying to find out if my husband likes it as mutch as i do.
I will put it to test tonight :)

I finished 3 bottles of this wonder, now I miss it so much.It's a masterpiece for sure

The opening of J' adore is so chic and classic. It oozes mystery, sexual appeal and confidence. It is slightly strong for me in the beginning which in the past has discouraged me from buying it but now that i can wear it on my skin and experience its development, i can truly appreciate this perfume as it' s cleverly made. The drydown is a heavenly experience: While it slowly changes, more and more femininity is revealed. I think one must be patient at first with J'adore but the suprising perfume will be a such a sensation. It truly rivals the greatest of perfumes!

Great perfume! When you wearing this you feel happy and cheerful, I love people who wear this sweet smell of fruits and flowers!

it lasts long on me and its kinda serious and complex perfume that for some people it might give a bad headache

It doesn't last that long (about 2 hours on my skin). Also , although it's classiffied as a floral-fruitty, Ican only detect the floral notes and some kind of sweetness from the fruits, but no vanilla what so ever.

This one packs a powerhouse punch!
Extremely feminine, extremely sweet, well refined with killer jasmine!
Although I have enjoyed a couple of bottles of this one in the past, I would find it too heavy for myself these days. The sillage is excellent, and lasting power in EDP is great. One of the few fragrances I have owned that snagged many a compliment from mature men.

I must say this perfume is stunning and sexy and to the person that said in there review that j adore is a cheap fragrance then you really are clueless about fragrances j adore is one of the best and most famous and popular fragrances ever released so think twice before you call this cheap and unpleasant fellow fragrantica member

I so wish that I didn't dislike this perfume, but I really don't like it at all (at least on me). On me, it starts off with the smell of 1000 furious, drunken dandelions. After a painfully long time, it settles down into an almost medicinal Dial soap smell.
On me - no fruit, no musk, just a smell I couldn't wash off my skin no matter how hard I tried (well, to be fair, I did NOT try using Dial soap to wash it off) and a mild headache.

I don't know how to tell my fiance to NEVER buy that again because I hate it so. :(

My mom used to use this and it reminds me of her. This scent is very close to my heart as it brings back a lot of memories of my mom.

I love this, for me this is one of the most elegant and feminine perfumes, in spite of its extreme popularity: I had it a while ago and on my skin it is a very pleasant strong floral, warm but not overpowering. It lasts a long time. This one is a must in my collection, c'est le féminin absolu!

Very good sillage and longevity.

This is a nice smelling perfume. But IMO i think this is just too plain. I don't love it. Just smells like a nice smelling shampoo. Nothing special to go gaga for.

I find this a bit generic - nothing at all outstanding about it. Nice enough at first - quite fresh and warm -but when it dries down, there's a lingering note of sweetness that I find a bit annoying. Gave my bottle away very quickly!

Linear, unoriginal, there’s nothing stands out.
Chemical odor by mass marketing strategy is far from artistic creations achieved by some fragrance houses.

Many plastic grey desks in a large office room, there are no partition to maintain personality.

I liked the perfume, but I know better ones from Dior :).

Beautiful! This perfume is sweet, sophisticated and enrapturing. It isn't powdery and I feel sexy and classy when I wear this one. I love the smell of this on my skin. This is quickly becoming a favourite. This blend works and I will have this on my dresser for a long time.

I've longed for this for years...but after I got it for a Christmas well... It is a nice one, and I do like it, but it definitely isn't my favourite. It's a bit too stiff, to formal for me. Maybe I'm still too young for it :D or maybe it's my work. It just doesn't suit my day-to-day lifestyle.

My mother uses it, for me is one of the best perfume for women in stores, not too sweet, not too giry, not boring or old... Every woman who wants something classic and good would love this, a very wearable floral fruity scent,delicate and nice for every occasion.

This is a clean and flowery scent. Nothing too special and too expensive for what it is. Good for summer.

I wore this scent for a year or so in high school, it's young to me...fruity and sweet but I think I bought it more because of the brand, rather than being into the actual scent. It isn't amazing but it's an ok scent.

love the bottle, other than that, there's nothing to love, it's too synthetic, horrible on my skin, it really was disastrous; it's safe to say it doesn't work with my chemistry at all

shampooey scent with an almost metallic scent to it. i think it's the bottle....but the bottle is lovely to collect.

This is gorgeous and elegant. I had this perfume few years ago and Brings back nice memories. I would love to purchase another bottle.

A man once sniffed me as if curious and then grabbed me back in a kind of double take, caught by surprise, MUST smell that again kind of sniff then asked "what are you wearing?!" in an almost acusatory way.
"J'adore" I said, and for once I meant it.

The first time I smelled this perfume was when one of my mother's friends stepped into the car after having applied it not too long before. I immediately thought: "She has good taste." Dior J'Adore has been around for a long time but I only got my first whiff of it last year and only recently decided to make the purchase. As stated before by a lot of people, the drydown is reminiscent of certain shampoos, but to me that is a good thing since I love smelling clean. J'Adore is a beautiful fragrance that smells fresh and feminine. The bottle is beautiful and even though the price tag is quite high for this particular fragrance, in my opinion it is well worth it.

J'adore the perfume this what I feel about this perfume.It's reminded me my honeymoon time I used to wear it with the cream 10 years ago now I REALY MISS IT.

This is one of my fav perfumes! It's slightly fruity but mature scent suitable for all year round. It's sophisticated and doesn't really smell like any other perfume I've tried. The staying power is great and the scent is really strong in the early afternoon. Love this perfume!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bought this perfume when I was 15 and absolutely fell in love. This is a scent that I wear all year and I love it a little more every time. I'm not a fan of very florally perfumes, so it's a bit of surprise that this is my #1 perfume. I wear many other perfumes, but this one is always present in my collection.

It's simply amazing...so feminine and sensual. I once sprayed it on my pillow, and we had a party at home that day, I remember all the guys were hugging and sniffing that pillow, almost getting high, lol...to them it was sooooo magical lol....and its such a balanced perfume...love it absolutely !!!

Maybe it did not go well with my chemistry. Cold, annoying, like cheap quality perfume for matured woman. I ended by giving it to my mother. Besides, she did not like it too :):):)

Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous!!!
So sophisticated without being overpowering. It also lasts ages. I applied last night at 6.30 pm and I can still smell it on myself at 11 am! Shower time, then I may reapply as I want more of this deliciousness!

A nice bottle to collect (especially as I have a special edition) but somehow it comes on too strong when I'm wearing it.

Besser als jeder Blumenstrauß.Ein Duft zum verlieben.Für mich ein bsoluter immerwieder nachkaufduft.

I sprayed it on my wrists today in a shop. My first unrefined impressions:
It is a beautiful, iridescent smell. Every time I sniff my wrist I can smell another heavenly note, they all blend very well. But it is so strong!!! I sprayed it three times on me, that was definitely a mistake. I walked down the road and all of a sudden a big cloud of perfume hit me in the face from the front. There was nobody walking in front of me, so I knew it was me.
I want this perfume! But it is a very bold scent, it is very in- your- face, you have to wear it with caution.
I would also say it is a perfume for a woman, not for a teenager.

Another popular perfume that smells "nice" but not unique enough to consider seriously. To me it is floral with a bit of honey. Has potential, but it develops into the dreaded generic shampoo-like drydown very soon after it is sprayed on.

Is is a beautiful fragrance but I don't know how much to apply because the last time I wore J'adore it gave me a bad headache. It's an incredible and classy perfume!

I loved it for long long time. I used 3 or 4 big bottles of it...now i just like it...supose i get bored.

This is a nice fruity floral with a wonderful drydown that kind of reminded me of Juicy Fruit gum. Not overly sweet-just a nice balance between all notes.

I just got this one in the mail today and im not loving it like i thought i would, ive got to quit buying perfumes untested, i really thought i would love this becasue everyone else seems to but its not for me, ive got this up for swap if anyone is interested sprayed maybe 5 sprays has box and it the 100ml size...im looking for chris 1947, bright crystal or dior addict 2 or something like these

When I first smelled J'Adore, I thought it was so lush, fruity, and sweet. There is no doubt I liked the scent. The orchid and plum really popped. But as it wore down, I felt that I'd smelled it before, and I realized it smells like my Liz Claiborne Bora Bora, which is much cheaper. I also realized it reminded me very much of fabric softener, which smells like Alfred Sung Shi. I can't explain it, but J'Adore smells more complex and of higher quality than the other two perfumes I mentioned. I would rather own this Dior than own Shi or Bora Bora. But since I already own them, I would really have no reason to buy J'Adore.

I like sweet scents, but J'adore is too much for me, sugar overkill describes it perfectly. On the plus side, wearing it can put you off eating desert and in my experience men tend to like it.

i think it smell abit like shampoo
its common scent .. i dun rly love it at the beginning
but after i like it more n more
and also lots of guys love it
they said its fresh n young ..
and the bottle is classic n sexy

As this is my first review I thought it should be about one of my all-time favourite perfumes! This was my first pure floral after breaking away from a string of aquatic 90s fragrances and it remains an absolute classic despite some stiff competition. The scent is as people have described - elegant, classy, warm, clean and uplifting. The notes that really stand out for me are magnolia, orchid, freesia, jasmine and rose (I also smell honeysuckle even though it's not listed). There is a subtle musky base but it's totally balanced with the floral notes which linger lusciously on the skin for hours. It's perfect for lazy summer days or balmy nights out drinking cocktails. I tend to wear this more in the spring/summer but it would also work well as a winter scent on days where you want a bit of a pick-me-up. Pure sunshine in a bottle. :)

It's sexy and unctuous in a subtle way, undoubtedly romantic too. It has good longevity in skin and hair, who does not overflow using it or its surroundings.
I consider it located in an optimal midpoint between floral and sweet fragrance: Ladies stylish, modern and ... greedy;

Attention! Test the spray may notice excessive synthetic notes, not to be intimidated by it and do it directly on your skin, because like clockwork, five minutes will be gradually opened the first acidic fruit and floral notes (only experts and enthusiasts recognize it Ylang Ylang I do not: there are still some acidity on the nose that for me is the mandarine, could not tell properly), fifteen minutes after thar consolidates (the musk of the fund begins to be perceived), and the following hours remain and dominate the base notes with the aroma of roses and jasmine.

One advantage is that it is one of the few Dior perfumes that offer body cream (either in a gift box or individually) for those who love to "reinforce" the essence (I think it's best for the EDT, but that is very personal). A disadvantage may be for those who prefer the exclusivity, because of its obvious and overwhelming marketing campaign, which has made the scent very, very popular (keep in mind it is easier to accept, of course, that traditional and vintage perfumes Dior).


PS_For some reason, male gender like it a lot.
Be carefull, man could fall in love... with your perfume!

I've smelt this perfume before and it was wonderfully floral, fresh, femine. It reminded me of an elegant woman walking along a beach on a sunny day in a white, very light fabric dress as the breeze flows her hair back, while holding her sandals in her hands and letting the warm sand tickle her feet. And I've liked that perfume eversince. But my friend has a bottle and I sprayed some on today and it smelled like some of those "sccented" nail polish removers. You know, those nail polish removers that say it is scented on the bottle but it's actually a strong scent of acetone blended with something floral. Well that's what it was like for me today. At first I thought, hey maybe it's because I just spayed it, so I decided to wait for the drydown, but it was not much better.

Is it that dior is not making the j'adore perfumes like they used to because of suchhhhh high demands, or did I get a hold of a fake one?
Has anyone else experienced this?

Yet another generic fruity-floral that at first smells like a functional scent for a cheap shampoo, hair spray, or hair gel, but rapidly gains momentum as it dries down, transforming into a screaming, obese, psychotic, lily-of-the-valley-infected generic floral with a harsh woody base, the evil mother-in-law of all light fruity-florals, the most insipid of which seems positively delicious by comparison.

My experience of J’Adore wasn’t enhanced by the fact that my sample spray vial didn’t spray, but dribbled on my wrist and fingers, probably dispensing much more than was wise. I was literally choking and gagging on the fumes of this hazardous chemical spill, so had to wash it off, but even washing didn’t cut it down to a manageable size. After a second full scrub and masking with rosemary-scented lotion, it seemed like most of it was gone (and what a relief!), but it did make its way back through to some extent so that I could conclude that the drydown is about the same floral scent as the opening, but with more synthetic woody notes.

This is too much of a floral scent for me to stomach, so I’ll take the liberty of renaming it Je Déteste.

This perfume smells very elegant, classy, and sophisticated. I wear this perfume during on special occasion only. Every women should have one i think. Suitable for office wear as well.

Lovely perfume and a gorgeous bottle - WOW

My mom use this scent, and I think it´s warm and too sweet, It´s a very elegant perfume but I don´t like it because I like fresh and young scents.

This is an awesome scent. Very elegant, femenine, sophisticated and what is more, extremely memorable. I really don´t think it´s fruity at all, instead I think it has woody notes at the end, that make this perfume to last for ever!
It remains me of a perfect sunny day with the love of my life...in a very romantic ocasion.

All I have to say is WOW

nice perfume, sweet and tender like a spring romance and feminine...

Ohhh....this one is just timeless! I can never tire of J'adore. It just has to be there to grace my perfume collection. One whiff of this scent and i am enchanted. It is beauty and magic captured in dazzling molten gold. one whiff and I am lying upon a bed of million freshly cut flowers, shaped like butterflies and painted with myriad colours. Colours never seen before. A lush sensation running deep in my soul. It makes me feel sexy, desired and admired. words can never quite describe how beautiful this scent really is, just a classic and sensational scent, in my opinion.

I love everything about J'adore. I think this is a perfume i can wear for ever. It has a delicate, luxury, gentle scent. Makes me feel light, elegant and irresistable.

A perfect scent. Classic and feminine. Dior at its best. This generation's iconic Chanel No 5.

I assumed it was the smell my sister-in-law's freshly washed hair until I figured out she wears J'adore.

J`adore is a grace, classic and luxury scent. It's more of a floral scent to my nose rather than floral-fruity. Quite grown-up.

Wearing it I have somewhat a nostalgic feeling. Would be a good choice when attending some formal event, it will definitely win respects.

I smelt this in house of fraser while shopping with Abby xoxo, after the advert we were both curious as to what it smelt like. But it was really not what we expected, very "old lady" perfume expected it to be a bit more glamourous, but instead there is a nast whiff of something that i cant out my finger on, just dont like it. x

i used to love it but now i can't stand it because of the memories...i think that means that is memorable...and that's good...

I simply adore this perfume. It has elegance, style and class. One of my top 3 all time favourite perfumes.

For years this perfume used to be the only one I liked. Then I chanced upon L'Eau D'Issey by Issey Miyake (which I am also in love with!) and the two have been my signature perfumes for the last few years.

I love everything about J'adore. It starts out a bit sharp, zesty and harsh. I love that! The middle notes remind me of golden fluid. And the dry down evokes delicate sensuality.

A perfume created with a lot of taste, that's all I can say. I believe it will continue to be amongst my favourite ones for a long time.

Very nice,very clear sent,very feminine with my favorite Lily of the Vally.

Too "perfumey". Gave me a headache everytime I wore it. I took it back to Macy's for full refund.

I think JAdore it's a textbook example on how to sell a fragance that would otherwise be boring and irrelevant through an image. Charlize's ad could convince me of trying this scent and become a Parisian bombshell, the flacon makes me stare at it in the middle of a hundred others...
But unfortunately for Dior, I am looking for a really nice fragance, one that would stand out in my real self, not in Charlize. Sorry for the millions spent, as far as to me. But surely they are worth it for Dior.

So famous and sold around, so cloying overripe molded pear for me.
I'm no a fan of fruity fragrances, so this could be a reason for my dislike, yet I like some fruity scents.
On my skin J'adore is all about fruits, fruits, fruits with a hint of shy flowers scared by the fruits. Not fresh beautiful ripe fruits anyway. It's the invasion of the bad pear allied with bad melon.
It's very tenacious and invasive. It lives on clothes for a while. The bottle is beautiful. The concept itself is already outdated.
Wear it if you want to be noticed.

it's a sublime perfume, soft, gorgeous, lasting all day long.

This one is a Dior goldmine. Distinctive, classy and elegant. Feels like winter sun. I think pear gives it a unique opening... I would categorize this scent 25+ well groomed women.
Might have better results with bronze skin.

It's one of the top seller in my country ,but i really don't understand what's the big fuss about this all .
It's nice , but that's it .
I dislike most of Dior scent , and this one is no exception , but for a different reason . Dior usually launches "Big personality scent" , but this one is an easy way out , the one that will please everyone, because it's not risky . It's like any ordinary cologne you would find at the supermaket with a big name on it.
And it's very costy at that , to much for what it is .
This is only my opinion however.

i tested today it is adorable scent , it is fresh, very soft, classy, feminine, subtly sparkling, sexy but withe Romantic style,really it is unique and stylish, i think you will wear this scent when you want to appear attractive with elegant way.

I love love love it ! Its my love affair.
Beautiful fragrance - a masterpiece <3
Its a sexy fragrance - makes me feel like a goddess.

Lasts for 5 hours on me & sillage is ok.

The EDT is boring, the EDP passable but try the 'flower absolue' version of this, it is truly beautiful! Lush, peachy sunlight!! I would definately wear it in that concentration but not in the others.

Very nice and feminine! Starts off fruity and a bit citrusy but as it develops, powdery notes start to come through. The powdery finish is indeed what I love the most about this.
It's not very strong or complicated, but a nice and elegant daytime fragrance for almost anyone!

very nice - sweet and flowery and stays very long.the almost perfect perfume.just one thing, how come sometimes i smell something like nuts in this?

This is fresh, beautiful, classy and surprisingly complex. It may seem linear initially but as the layers unfold you have the impression a lot of work went into constructing this beauty, and I appreciate that. It is a scent that I can imagine nearly any woman liking and it can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. A must have for a well rounded collection.

like a good wine , it so fresh and fun.

Help!! Im not sure whether I like this or not - I used to wear it years ago and then moved on to another fragrance. My mum gave me it for Christmas this year and I sprayed it on hoping to relive that familiar, lovely scent - but my gosh it was ok when I first sprayed it but after a while there was something about it that was a bit overpowering. I've been wearing softer scents lately so hopefully it is just a matter of getting used to it again - its probably more of a scent for spring anyhow so I'll maybe try again then.

Ohhh Sherapop! I am soo amazed, how we both seem to detect a REAL turn off note in this perfume. I wish I knew for sure what this note is. To me it is not a really synthetic note that turns me off here, more a note that is so animalic that it reminds me of something that I cannot state here, because it would not be polite. Not very fresh in any case...

Very nice and elegant. A must have but a little pricey.

Not bad but nothing spectacular. A bit like a nice Shampoo ... Something very light,just like a perfume for people who don't assume being indeed perfumed.
If it were a car, it could easily be a VW or a regular Ford- nothing original ,not a great design,not so many HPs but it takes you from A to B and you feel good. Is this wrong ?! I guess not.Is this Dior? It shouldn't be...

Because I know so many people loving this scent, I thought maybe I could like it too, but this scent is WAY too powerful. 2 sprays of the EDP is probably too much.
I didn't want to spray it on myself because I would be too annoyed with it.

Though, I'm not sure how the EDT would be. I just don't like the actual scent...reminds me of really strong soap.

On the other hand, I LOVE J`adore L`eau Cologne Florale, my favourite version of the lot! It's a nice floral, simple, not too sweet. I love magnolia and this scent's most noticeable note is magnolia!

I've tested this numerous times at the department stores and all I smell on the sample paper strip and on myself are apples, apples apples! That's it. Usually I have a pretty good nose that can pick out notes like nobody's business but this one just smelled like sweet apples to me. I have been going through the reviews, double checked to see that I was on the right perfume review page. I don't get it.

I like the scent, it's nice but nothing I would buy because it seems like I could get a cheap version of this at a drugstore or at B&BW. So strange.

lovely perfume, sophisticated but sexy too, elegant, warm, flowery scent...long lasting on me abt 8hrs...simply love it!

So cliche and unappealing. I can understand all the ''oohhs and ahhhs'' as like with all the fragrances - it will appeal to some while to some - it will smell like a cheap wallpaper glue.
To me, J'adore is a cloying mixture that is neither sexy nor feminine. Smells like hundreds of cheap deodorants I used when I was a little girl.
I am not sure why it is so popular and why I can't see the phenomenon behind thousands of bottles sold; I love classics but to me - J'adore will never be one of them.
I wouldn't give it as a gift to anyone, even to my mother in law.
If you don't feel like flushing the money down the drain, you may wish to pass that one.

I can take it or leave it to be honest with you. Nice smell but it doesn't stand out among the millions of others out there. Only interesting thing is the lovely, classy bottle.

This perfume is just too much for me - too strong, too flowery, it just addles my senses and gives me a headache. I am very wary of hugely floral perfumes, and this is one of them on me. It also, imo, lacks oomph and vavoom...maybe what I mean is depth. It's kind of like floral spray on my skin.

I had over 3 bottles of this over the years, this is a classic scent. it's nice for a night out with friends , a hot date or the office .

This one is great! It warms me up on a cold day and make me feel so fuzzy inside. It's great for a night out or a classy get-together. Very amber-like.

Oh dear. The combination of violets roses, and lots of fruits, is not a good one for me, I'm afraid. I just had a look at other perfumes with a similar potpourri and it all makes sense.

It is sharp, sharp, sharp on me. And sour-ish. Believe it or not, it hurts the back of my throat.

Sillage? Yup. Longevity? I wouldn't know: I'm about to scrub it off. Sorry.

This is a lovely fragrance and makes me feel feminine. For some reason since the season has been cooler ive craved spring/summer scents more than usual. This is the one that is cheerful, fresh, feminine, and clean. I have many female friends that fall in love once i've shared this. It is a classic to behold that every woman should try. Tommy Girl is similar to this, i like it also. But this one is more sophisticated and has more pizazz

Oh what can I say more about J'adore?!
I really like it, its a smell that is perfect for young adult womens on their middle twenties. In my skin is fresh and clean but has a deep and fascinating personality. Its polished, its golden and well blended. This perfume will be a classic and we will see it on the stores in the next 30 years for sure.
I think its a perfect summer fragrance for someone who wants to smell clean, fresh and fruty/floral but not in a sweet, sickening way because its extremely sophisticated and unique.
The smell on my skin is something like flowers floating on the see, because J'adore has a salty edge that I really like. Its a european beach in a bottle, without all the anoying coconutts and pina colada notes. Love it until the end of time 5*

This is a gorgeous warm and pretty floral.
The fruitiness is minimal to me, just enough to keep it from being boring. If I had to describe this in one word it would be golden. It is classy and sophisticated and really more for twenty-somethings than teens. Not so strong that you can't wear it on a daily basis, but rather too showy for an office.

Sillage?Penetrating.

Longevity?It is Truly Weird on my skin.

8/10

beautiful,sexy,glamourous and chic creation but small lasting on me. i like this one that is the original but i also like all the other makeovers for new editions

Maybe it is the sample I obtained but this has no lasting power on me or sillage. When first applied it is a lovely fruity floral but it fades quickly to a faint ghost of its former self.It only lasts 30 minutes on me. I have read of Astor Place being a copy of J'Adore but the Astor Place in my collection is more floral with a mandarin and violet leaf kick, has tremendous sillage and lasts for hours.

Soft and a bit cozy, def for a mature woman i think. Smells good and is not to loud at all. Its a "lagom" perfume as we say in sweden, wich means just enough,cause it is one of those perfumes that you cant tell someone is wearing, and by that i mean that with some perfumes you can really tell that it smells perfume,this one just smells:)

I didn't like it once, but some time ago I sprayed a little bit on my wrist, out of curiosity. And I realized that it is very mature and sophisticated scent. Like many of you said, not for a teenager. I just had to grow up to understand its beauty.

This is a sparkling fruity-floral executed in a grown-up manner. Definitely not for ur 13 y/o niece lol!!! Sexy, bright and lasts forever on ur skin and clothing... Can be a lil cloying/headache-inducing if u use too much, as a lil goes a long way, trust me I have ODed on this and had 2 change b4 going out lol...

Weird. I have left J'adore languishing in a drawer for a few years (part of a coffret) and on retest I realize it's never been unpleasant and in fact is gorgeous. The citrus does not clash with my chemistry and it's not overly fruity only slightly sweet. In fact it is strong and classy. I cannot smell the jasmine and the rose is very subtle- the listed notes are a little surprising!

I have worn J'adore since it came out. But the last 100 ml bottle I got has disappointed me so. I couldn't understand why something that smelt amazing on me suddenly reaked. So I surfed the web and kept an ear out. Then I finally chanced upon a book by a fabulous 'nose', can't mention his name. But he revealed that there were some v impt elements of J'adore which were replaced with some synthentic crap...no surprise about the reek. Where do I go now for the original J'adore, NOT the crap on Dept Store counters.

THis is a REAL parfum! Nothing artifical or man made in it!IT begins like sum others with oranges but,these r big,juicy ripe,fragrant oranges! Fresh as if just picked.Slowly,sweet jasmine and big juicy plums greet u with a headturing bANG!THe unusual dry down of wild blackberries melds into the mix to make a sexy concoxtion of heavenly bliss! I dont think it smells like anything but itself! I agree Dior fumes adapt themselves to each individual with ease.THe longivity on this is great.For some reason,I imagine this is what angels smell like!

To me this smells very similar to Elizabeth Ardens Splendor! They both are (to me) somehow "oldfashioned" florals with some fruits to make it fresh. They even share at least 9 notes! In Splendor the pineapple adds a bit sweetness and sparkling freshness. But Jàdore has better base, a bit warmer.
Don´t really like eather one of them. Not bad but not my cup of tea.

I have a small tester spray of this, bough via eBay. I like this scent a lot... maybe I'm nuts but when I wear this one, I feel bubbly and happy.

Reading so many negative reviews only prodded me to get this sample to find out once and for all if this is any good, and if this is good for me. So happens, it is.

I wore Dior perfumes since I was 17, and never found them "cheap", or boring, or "common". Quite the opposite, actually, and what I found over many years that Dior scents seem to have a mind of their own and just "know" how to meld with the wearer. Granted, some people cannot stand them and that's fine and normal; not every fragrance will suit every wearer. But what I find with Dior (Miss Dior, Dune, Poison, J'adore) is that these fragrances mutate from one person to another, almost becoming a custom-made to each person, and that is wonderful. After all, we want to be unique, not copies of one another (although I would not mind a bit to look like Charlize Theron). So, if the scent wears differently on me than it wears on you, I think that's a good thing.

I'd love to get a bottle of J'adore to add to my small (but trusty) collection.
Had many perfumes, edt's, edc's in my life and gave away most of them... but this one I'll keep.

I agree with some of the last few reviewers, it is a very pretty fruity-floral scent...fresh, classy, feminine, subtly sparkling, slightly soapy...I do like it...men seem to be very drawn to it and it will never fail to get you compliments...it is also easy to wear, very versatile, suitable for all ages, a high quality fragrance with excellent lasting power, beautiful bottle...seemingly the perfect all-rounder...but for the wearer herself (that would be me) it lacks a little something, something that stops it from being a beloved fragrance...personality perhaps? a certain 'oomph' that makes a perfume truly unforgettable? Sorry, I am not in love...maybe it's my nose, but I expected something a little deeper, richer and multidimensional from Dior...there are plenty of very pretty scents like this, that are of equal quality, and less costly, one example is Estee Lauder's Dazzling Gold.

jadore smells more like a floral aldyehyde on my skin...its ok and people like it on me but it find it rather boring

Poor J'Adore just doesn't rock my boat, boil my potatoes or dip my biscuit.

A wholly polished fruit driven floral, it has all the charm of an equally polished mahogany doorknob. Sure it may be pretty. It is definately functional on a day-to-day basis. It may even stand the test of time. But to me, it is ultimately bland and forgettable.

I think perhaps the problem I am having is that this fruity brew is far too cohesive & well blended to have any real personality. While some other perfumes have a slight flaw or imbalance to illustrate the sublime beauty of other notes, J'Adore is just too one-dimensional. You don't have work for it. Of course, if you just want to smell 'nice' then this has obvious appeal.

So to some, J'Adore will be a flawless diamond in a white gold setting; to others like me, it is just a doorknob.

Pleasant but boring to me.i got tired of it too quick.

Actually it's a beautiful feminine scent. But I'm sorry J'adore, I really don't adore you, no matter how many times I tried myself to really like it. This perfume just doesn't work for me.

- Too floral and bold
- I expect it to be gentle and sexy, but the scent is too powerful and kinda distracts my nose.
- Please don't spray too much cause the scent lasts long.
- I feel kinda old wearing this perfume, so for you who wants to be a romantic floral woman, this might be good for you, but not the best ones.
- But you can treat this perfume better when you have very special occasion, gala dinner, where you can pair it with beautiful gown.

I love it despite the Charlize Theron ads!

I love it. It's not as special as the add with Charlise Theron would have you believe, but it's certainly a classic.

I love j adore!feminine,floral with a plummy scent.can smell the tuberose.melon,plum,lili of the valley,rose,black currant.love it!suggest for a verry feminine woman that love perfumes!

For people loving this and feeling Celine Celine might be to strong, try Royal Doulton! A gorgeous sister to J'Adore that is equally soft. Royal Doulton being created 1 year prior to J'Adore!
Good luck!
Action

There's something about J'adore that is very off-putting to my nose. From the notes listed I expected a highly feminine floral, topped with rich notes of juicy fruits like peach, pear, and various citruses. Yes, all the notes are there, but they come across as flat and terribly boring. Even a little cheap. I think it might be the tuberose that makes me turn my head away, as I don't particularly like it. I expected more from this.

Dior J´adore I don´t adore you. Too sharp flowers!! It is supposed to be a floral-fruity fragrance. Where are the fruits? This is one of the most sickening fragrance I have smelled.
Dior-yes, but they can do better.

Very nice,but i wouldnt buy it. It is a very happy,very sunny scent - and that i like .Its sunny ,not in a fresh truely sunny way ,but in a golden way ,if anyone gets my thoughts there. What i do not like about it is a quite sharp eighties-feeling ,a tone that was very often there in older scents,like elizabeth ardens, or like in sun moon stars. Thats what putting me off a little,and my feelings stays at the like but wont buy stadium .

I received it...I wouldn't buy it, it's kind of floral, too sweet for my taste.It smells nice, but it's not one of my fav.

Sorry to say but this perfume just doesn't work for me. ;'-( I have this for almost 3 years now. I don't like the strong overpowering smell. I feel like old lady wearing such faux fury coat in the stormy winter. I was so disappointed since I have it in 100ml bottle and it's still full.

I totally agree with Rouu, the EDP smells almost identical to Tommy Girl by TH. Only slightly more sophisticated and adult perfume.

*LOVE This is like a drug it is so good!
I don't think a perfume can get any better. 5/5 for me :)
I just got this in the post today.
I can't believe I haven't got this sooner. I have a different version of it, but doesn't come close to the eau de parfum.

My recent acquisition, J’adore EDP, is very professionally crafted. Its sillage and longevity are something not to be denied. To me it’s more of a floral, rather than floral-fruity nature – orchid and lily-of-the-valley are most prominent to my nose. Though florals (and especially fruity florals) are not my cup of tea (as my favorite fragrances mostly lie within the oriental woody class), I like having J’adore in my collection – as a memorable classic and an adorable bottle =) I do not think I will reach for it often – too safe for my taste, and too recognizable. Nevertheless, it’s useful to keep it for those occasions when, apart from my adventurous nature, I want to reveal my ladylike self. =)

Enter the legend of J’adore… absolute
femininity according to Dior. The fluid
curves of the emblematic amphora-shaped
bottle give rise to the generosity of a floral
bouquet - a fresh accord of Ylang-Ylang,
vibrant Roses and a caressing Jasmine. The
essence of glamour.

Romantic, sensual, sexy, feminine, intriguing, with a character, actual for all seasons, compatible with all ages...A love it, I have it and when it is over, I'll have the other one! When I can doubt what to wear from fragrances, I put what I J'adore.

The name is interesting. "I Love" (J'aime typically means "I Like"). J'adore is a distinctive floral scent. Fresh, uplifting, it makes me feel like a woman in the best sense of the word, neither old nor unwise. The bottle boasts long flowing lines and curvaceous contours, no other bottle is comparable in shape. I am a Dior fan, and I am not disappointed with J'adore. I prefer perfumes of the house of Dior because I very rarely find the quality lacking, if ever. J'adore is an prime example of Dior’s fine fragrance record because of its lasting power, multi-faceted dry-down and simply the great taste involved in the packaging, bottle design and advertizing campaign. I enjoy J’adore when I’m in a mood for it. It is an intimate scent, soft and luminous. The bottle captures the essence of the perfume it contains. The bottle makes me want to smell it, smelling the nozzle makes me want to wear it, wearing it makes me happy. Try it out, it may be right for you. But just a warning, try it on a place where you can wash it off easily in the event that it does not agree with you, because it will linger for a good long while, a quality that you will definitely appreciate if you adore it. J’adore. Dior.

one of my faves :)
very classy scent!

This is Miss Dior Cherie's mom !

It indeed is very pleasant. Light, flowery with a hint of fruityness. Perfect for daytime, inoffensive and classy. Suits any age and makes everyone happy I guess. I don't think however that it's ordinary. In the crowd of floral-fruityness this one is the best. It's not girly or soapy or too sweet etc, but very well balanced. I tried many floral-fruity scents when I was looking for something for spring, and this one I liked the most. I don't think Dior will ever disappoint me.

edit: almost a year later and I like it more and more. Weird because I tend to like florientals and spicy perfume which J'adore is an opposite. I wear it mostly when I need to be relaxed and calm. I have to say it works.

Amazing,gorgeus, tender, lovely and simply..... adorable.

J'adore is one of the best perfumes i have!! light,soft,glamorous and sweet

so tender and feminine .. i had it 2 times .. i can wear it through cold, hot,day or night!! wearable fragrance with a very classy touch, not sweet in a cheap way ,
its so classy scent with plenty fruity touch , alot of joy fruits then jasmine and floral heart and amazing warm base.

how ever its old fragrance i still fell so modern when i wear it it reflect Dior line clearly .. fresh,and warm same time ,classy feminine and long lasting i like the original J'adore than all J'adore editions !!

This is one of my current signature scents. I've worn it for years, mainly during spring and summer.

To me it is such a beautiful classic floral. It's light and fresh and reminds me of warm golden sunshine in Hawaii. (I actually purchased it just before a trip to Hawaii and wore the heck out of it over there.)

It will always be welcome when spring comes around but I think I am ready for a new summer love...

Edited 6/12/10: I wore J'Adore last evening and I was reminded how much I love it! There's nothing more feminine on a warm summer evening. This is still one of my all-time favorites.

I was pretty dissapointed with the perfume, thinking it would be a clean and fresh scent. My nose just doesnt agree with it. Its something that only last 1-2 hrs on me. The smell gives me headaches.... At first i love it but then after a few weeks i begin to get sick of it. It does work on others though.. just not for me.

Pretty, but nothing special. Would be non-offensive and easy to wear everyday, but I think I would get bored of it. It seems somehow unfinished to me. A good base but missing some note/notes that would add a spark and make it unique

I got it back in 2000 from then my husband to be, I wore it on my wedding day, so my only pleasant association is with that. Soon after then I moved on from J'adore and from that marriage as well ;-))) I was glad I did stop using J'adore because it became so ridiculously popular, I couldn't stand being anywhere near it, especially that some girls in my then office were literally bathing themselves in cheap imitations. The same fate happend to Light Blue- immensely popular and commonly imitated, no thank you.

This perfume is the epitome of sophistication!! not to mention that I love the commercial with Charlize Theron. It reminds me of champagne not only because of the color of the juice but that it is sparkling floral with hints of fruit. And the lasting power is great. I sprayed it nine this morning and still smell it on my wrist and its ten at night. Its a spring fragrance for sure!! It reminds me of the new chloe but a touch sweeter and daisy from marc jacobs but more grown up

I find it very sweet and not at all suitable for the office. It would be nice for an evening out type of perfume.

I have worn this for over a year now, and am wearing it today and realized that I have yet to review it! I think j'adore is fantastic. When I wear it, it gives me a gorgeous floral-soapy vibe. I feel as if I'm in a large tub in a wash room with an open window to a garden full of luxurious flowers... relaxing while the sun shines in on me. Lather bubbles slip down my golden skin and in to the warm bath water. Feminine, beatiful, etheral. I dont smell too many fruits, but then j'adore is very well balanced and blended. I believe that it can be worn as an everyday scent, or to a very special dinner/meeting, etc. The lasting power and silleage are wonderful. This is the first perfume that have worn that I would give a 10/10!

Totally agree with you Sherapop!
I cannot get myself to like it!!
Good luck!
Action

Although I do truly adore the bottle, with its sleek, fondle-worthy shape and pyramidal gold slinky neck topped with a mini crystal ball, Dior J'ADORE eau de parfum is very difficult for me to wear, as it contains the same note found in Estee Lauder BEAUTIFUL and Fragonard BELLE DE NUIT which makes me feel both queasy and anxiety stricken, as though the apocalypse may be imminent.

Using Mill's methods, I have deduced from the listed notes of these three fragrances that the culprit may be synthetic violet. But another possibility is that the synthetic note is unnamed and used as a fixative or solvent in all three. In any case, my 50ml bottle will stay nearly full, as I simply cannot don this juice without undue strife! Honestly, it has the power to ruin my day. Even seeing the ubiquitous Charlize Theron ads makes me feel somewhat uneasy... I look at the ads and see not a siren but the character she played in MONSTER.

I'm sure that for those who can tolerate the vexing mystery note this composition is wearable and perhaps even likeable. Quant à moi: Je n'adore pas du tout J'ADORE. Désolée!

I received this perfume as a gift, and was really in two minds about it. First of all I am not a floral lover, and this is really floral well to me anyway. I wore it on some occasions, but seemed to dissapear very soon on me. I liked it for the fact that it wasn't overpowering, although I like stronger fragrences. I guess i enjoyed it when i had it, but probably wouldn't buy it. The bottle is lovely, and of course have still got it!

the only problem of mine with this unique original perfume is that it heavily possesses too much orchids. thats it ! extremely accentuated orchid-jasmine accord that is abit annoying to me , other than that its a bloody good one . with strong sillage & persistent longevity .
P.S: there is just a hint of fruits mainly pear & melon in the top & evidently blackberry in the base , yet still maximally floral probably only so. impressive.

this is one of my signature fragrances , I love it !!!

Don't like this at all. Too sweet! Happy for ladies who love this and wear it with pride but this is not for me.

A lot more flowery then fruity,in fact i dont smell any fruit...i hateee floral scents but this is the only one i can stand & actualy would/will wear!

J'adore is a well crafted fruity floral fragrance. The opening is heady but soon enough the fragrance calms down showing its depht, richness and beautiful composition. I understand why so many people love this fragrance.

I also think that the commercials flirt with liquid gold is suitable. On my skin this fragrance developes an aura of luxury. It somehow oozes money the same way a designers purse or an expensive cashmere sweater would do. J'adore is very inoffensive without being a wallflower. It just smells very nice all the time.

And that creates a second problem. I find J'adore a bit too safe and almost ingratiating. Where is the sand grain that creates the pearl?

Having too many other hot fragrant love affairs I think J'adore would become a bit undistinctive in my fragrance wardrobe, and therefore hardly used.

I agree with reviewers like Minty who said that J'Adore is quite an ordinary perfume. It's pleasant enough in its own way but is very floral and commonplace smelling. I wouldn't describe it as being remotely fruity, just incredibly floral, and I'm surprised to see so many fruit notes listed in it. I bought a gift set of this about 3 years ago and the perfume was only a 30ml size and I've probably used it a handful of times during those 3 years because it just does nothing for me and doesn't make me feel happy when I wear it. I think though that it's an ideal perfume for a mature woman who wants to blend in and not wear anything that stands out in any way, and I can imagine it being worn to weddings, etc, with a nice flowery dress and a hat!

Personally, I prefer perfumes that are more standout and far less floral than J'Adore. I think the bottle is very nice but unfortunately the perfume itself just doesn't cut the mustard for me.

Ireally like this scent.And wonder of wonders,so does my hubby.(He hates everything)I love the shimmer.It makes me feel like the diamond in an expensive pendant.It really is a sweet floral but,sexy.not overpowering.I detect madarine at first and i love that.I always like plum and orchid which it develops in a few minutes.yum.But,the kicker for me is the drydown.A sexy not offensive musk and that hard to come by,blackberry.Just like the real fruit.Sweet,a little bitter,bites back,and seedy to make you remember it.Lasts a long time with just the parfume(no need for layering this one,)and has great silliage.If you r a romantic,give it a try.Everyone will thank you for it even if its not one of your favorites>

don't like it at all, too floral, ordinary. everybody smells jadore for a long time but gladly it is over these days.
Don't know why it is so popular but I have an idea, it is just good for everybody, but not adorable.

I love it! My husband just got it today for me! I love Jadore! :)

This is a fabulous scent with incredible presence and staying power- a mood-elevating confidence booster for those who love florals, as I do!

ABSOLUTELY ADORE this fragrance....
Got it for as my christmas present - because i wanted it and was mindering for it so much...
LOOOOOOVEEE it.

nice and light yet sophisticated, very feminine and inobtrusive, yet sexi....

TOP fragrance on my list always!!

This parfume you can better let stand in the store,don't even spray a tiny bit,real sickmaking smell,not plesant at all.

This is just one of the best perfumes of all time. I can't live without one bottle of Jadore, cuz is the essence of true elegance.

Sweet, soft, feminine, sophisticated, and with a long power lasting without being overwhelming. Everybody know this perfume is a new classic.

This is my go to fragrance right now. Its very sparkly to me. It doesnt smell fruity on me. I has a floral smell that is tempered by the musk at its base. The musk in not obvious until I wear this for a while. The staying power is great and thats important to me, also good silliage. I feel womanly and positive when I where it. I think its a sexy yet happy fragrance.

Lovely but not head-turning perfume. Everybody wears it, if you want to be unique, it's not for you lol

This is one of those headache in a bottle perfumes for me. It has a great sparkling quality to it I like, but it grows and intensifies like a hang over. I smell more melon with greens than I do fruits and florals. Not a problem I love so many other perfumes, just not this one.

J'adore is the mother of all fruity floral fragrances. Although J'adore is being overlooked by newer fruity floral fragrances, I still look to it as the one that gave perfumery a new dimention. Since it came out in '99, it truly did change the world of the perfume industry.

i am a boy and i just adore this smell on a girl. it smells so elegant and it is VERY feminine while not being overpowering.

Amazing smell from dior.

this smells soooooooooooooooo good. i'm so happy i hae it

was given this for a birthday and really appreciated it as it seemed rich and elegant but everytime I try to wear it I find it cloying and has somewhat sour notes. Maybe because of the plum.

i luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuve it..just PERFECT and FEMININE

fell in love with J'adore when I first tried it in 2001, since then had four bottles and with the last one I'm really struggling - it used to smell quite sweet and flowery before and now it seems so fresh and boring,so I use it as my everyday perfume, when I'm doing some boring domestic activities like grossery shopping or taking my kid to the park. Couple of years ago it was my "going-on-a-date" fragrance. I think I've just grown out of it.

Great fragrance!!! but i am not sure that i can describe it...a very original fragrance: flowery, bittery , very modern and feminine...to weare day/ night...very long lasting...i adore J'adore edp...one of my favorites :)

This is an extraordinary and well made perfume, but it doesn't fit with my body chemistry. On my skin it is an overwhelming, pungent scent with an annoying sharp plum note which gives me a headache.

On others maybe it is quite alluring.

The flacon is so beautiful.

I tested it more than once and I thought there must be something about it regarding its popularity and good reviews. but everytime I spray it on my skin it turns into something horrible "thing from the grave"-like.
now I´ve accepted that we are not ment for each other.

this is actually pretty damn lovely!

i'm not big on floral, they get powdery on my skin way too easily. but this is complex, yet not overdone. it lasts forever and the bottle is gorgeous.

it's clean and very classy, modern and feminine. a total package, one could say.

J'adore is an elegant frag deserving of praise because of the smooth classy bottle and the beautiful combination of exotic fruits and warm florals. The plum note is very distinct.I would wear this scent on cold days since the drydown reminds me of summer.
On me, it doesn't last long,have to re spray from time to time.
Lovely.

Usually I don't like Dior perfumes but this one is beautiful. It smells delicious and exotic but not in an overly sweet way. Just perfect. I would definitely buy it.

So much luxury is captured inside golden bottle!

At first overwhelming and almost unbearable, but with time sensual and elegant. I thought it is pure floral because mostly I could smell rose and magnolia with a slight citrus hint. How rich and profound floral scent! It is perfect to match both casual and business occasions, can easily become signature scent. Be careful when applying because J`adore lingers on skin for hours. And for me most important thing, never comes into dull, synthetic stage as some perfumes tend to.

I more prefer EDT over this one cause its easier to wear and lighter. If you haven`t yet, do try J`adore, its a femininity in a bottle.

This perfume is obliged to have in your collection, it has good quality, appearance, feminine and lasting. By the way i bought the J'adore necklace and the bracelet also... The best!!

Very floral, very mild. To me it feels like quiet evening at home or a calm, predictable day at work.

One of the best advertising campaigns of all time. Worship J'adore and bathe in its golden hue.

This is a very sensual fragrance. Whilst I cup the cool glass vase in my palm I sense a balmy evening breeze rush over my body. I love to wear this scent outdoors, under moonlight when the air is light and magical. The scent is fruity, flowery, opulent and warm. Worn during the day, I agree it is far from unique, just another fruity floral. Take it out at night and MY GOSH J'adore is dynamite.

** but be warned, go easy or suffer the perfume headache.

If I were a woman that would be my perfume.

I got this perfume right when it came out. It has been one of my absolute favorites. I really love the plum. It's fruity for day wear and lasts a while. Also, I think in 1999, this perfume was pretty original but now, not so much.

floral fragrance, strong at first, then tone's down, dior's second best fragrance made after PURE POISON BEING THE 1ST BEST. lovely bottle, appealing to all age groups.

This smells exactly like some dirt-cheap Spanish perfume I smelled while on holiday as a teenager about 20 years ago. So basically I'm not a fan and with the exception of Midnight Poison I don't as a rule like Dior perfumes anyway.

An ultimate floral with a heart of warm plummy conserves - drop-dead beautiful!

Very floral and elegant. Smells fresh and clean.J'Adore blends jasmine, rose, tuberose, and ylang ylang with clean green notes to create a stylish and heady fragrance you'll love to wear.

A luxurious classic pretty scent that says you are a woman and proud. Wear it any season, day or night, jeans, business suit or evening gown. You'll be (and smell) spectacular!

Update: This is perfume perfection! I put it on today and got an instant lift. My mind has changed re fruity florals based on this scent alone. I don't care how "original" it is, all I know is it's in my top 5 favorites now. I just can't beleive the same company who made Poison (blech!) made this wonderful frag.

The perfume is amazing. It's the perfect balance of fruity and floral, and it lasts pretty long. It's not spectacularly original and not especially something one would remember, but it's a good fragrance for a typical spring or summer day. My friends and I wear it in the winter because it provides a good, refreshing feel. =)

Although, don't EVER mix this perfume with Abercrombie's Cologne 8. I made the mistake of doing that once (the shirt still smelled like AF from the store) and oh my God, shirt smelled horrible for like, the whole day.

Finally I got my J'Adore today, and just testing it. I think it's a beautiful clen scent, even if not very original, but comforting, soapy subtle, feminine, fresh and warm at the same time. I wouldn't say it's the scent of Gold, but the scent of a woman who feels good!
The first notes are almost too fruity for me, but at least they are not teeny-like, the floral notes in the middle mixed with the top fruits are really gorgeous! The base gives you a comfortable, clean feeling.
I like it so far!

I've just ordered this perfume and waiting for it arriving. Reading the comments below I'm a bit confused. However, I know a few Diors, and I think the great classics are unique and very personal, but modern Diors usually lack superb originality in my opinion. They are the best quality, always nice, elegant and feminine, and all absolutely safe! I can't pick one piece of today's Dior perfumes being really extravagant or extra original....
But we like Diors for their beautyness, quality and the feeling of luxury they give.
Anyway I'm waiting for my J'Adore which I ordered blind and will update.

I smell a balance between sweet red plum and a large and varied bouquet. This is the type of musk I like, delicate and young. I don't absolutely love it, but I'm ridiculously picky. I adore how it isn't too sharp, and how it seems versatile, and sweet without being like "pink sugar" (I've never smelled that one, but cotton candy as a note sounds awful....)

Light as far as serious scents go, slightly sweet, well-balanced, fresh-and the sweetness really exits. Could suit a sophisticated preteen just as well as a graceful lady of 80.Very well-done, but being quite floral, the scent sharpens a bit after the fruit fades, but it stays on the lighter side. Quite lovely, but I know at least one woman at tango who has made it her signature-alas I can't use it often as a fresh night scent-and I don't like to use it too much as a day scent....

i love this perfume. sweet and feminine

I wore this several years ago when my husband bought it for me...i can't say i ever fell in love with it but i didn't dislike it...it is a very nice fragrance that on me smelled crisp light and bright very floral to me and pretty (almost too pretty)...it is an all around reliable fragrance...no one ever complimented me when i wore it but it was nuetral enough to wear at work or out at night.

i love the bottle and the aroma!!!! is so elegant!!!! i want to buy it!!!! my sister have it ans she grew tired from it and lend it to me

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.

This is the most adorable perfume bottle shape!And the smell is very classy especially it's not strange when I wearing on my skin.I like the way that flowers meet warming scent.Beautiful bottle + Flowers + Warming = Love it, Like it, Adore it!

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.
On me i can smell the flowers most...
It is light yet it is long lasting.

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.

Fruity, floral and to me a bit cheap and common. It gives me headache and I get bored.

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

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 similar in its composition, elegance and style, I would say Miss Dior Cherie is rather similar.

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. The magnolia really stands out, and I like that about it. I absolutely love it and it makes me feel sophisticated (even if im not :).

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~

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.

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.

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.

huele rikisimo lo adoro me hace sentir en armonia
me encantaaaa

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.

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)

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.

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!

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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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...

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Very very nice. Really juicy. Sweet, sexy. Not very long lasting and tends to get quite boring, so not my favorite for daily wear.

It's a lovely fragrance but not one of my favourites

this is my favorits perfume tell now i love love loveeeeeeeeee it.....

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
