About
J'adore Intense by Dior is a Oriental Floral fragrance for women. This is a new fragrance. J'adore Intense was launched in 2026. The nose behind this fragrance is Francis Kurkdjian. Top note is Apricot; middle notes are Ylang-Ylang, Jasmine and Rose; base notes are Honey, Vanilla and Sandalwood. J'adore Intense by Dior is a floral fragrance that emphasizes a dense, nectar-like character. Centered on jasmine, rose, and ylang-ylang, the composition presents these flowers in a rich and saturated way, with a nuanced, honeyed and slightly fruity impression. A base of soft sandalwood and vanilla adds warmth, roundness, and a gentle gourmand facet to the bouquet.Created by perfumer Francis Kurkdjian and released in 2026, J'adore Intense continues the J'adore line with a focus on heightened floral intensity. “For this intense new concentration, I wanted to create a honeyed floral nectar: colorful, delectable and marked by a luscious roundness, as if all the flowers were revealing an irresistible intensity, bursting with color. ”
