The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 1999 by Dior and crafted by Calice Becker, J'adore is an iconic floral fruity fragrance that quickly became a symbol of luxury and elegance. The composition opens with bright citrus and fruity notes like pear, melon, and mandarin orange, which give way to a lush heart of jasmine, lily-of-the-valley, and tuberose. The base notes of musk, vanilla, and cedar add warmth and depth. J'adore is celebrated for its sheer opulence and the ability to evoke a sense of joy and confidence.

How to wear it

Apply J'adore two or three sprays from a moderate distance. The fragrance has moderate longevity and sillage, so it’s best to let the top notes settle before reapplying. It pairs well with light layers during warmer months but also works beautifully in cooler weather.

Flowers inside a bottle of eau de cologne

Calice Becker (Asancheyev-Becker) is a French master perfumer and director of the Givaudan Perfumery School, whose fascination with perfume began as a child asking how flowers get inside a bottle of eau de cologne.

“I like to add a dose of intrigue because nothing catches the attention of a touch of something unexpected.”
