The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

J'Adore L'Absolu by Dior was launched in 2012 as a luxurious floral fragrance for women. Created by François Demachy, this scent combines traditional values with modern elegance. The composition features delicate tuberose and rose notes over an animalic base, creating a complex and sophisticated aroma that captures the essence of refined femininity. The fragrance's Murano glass bottle, adorned with gold accents and hand-made near Venice, adds to its opulent charm.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to pulse points in the morning for a scent that lasts through the day. The animalic base notes develop slowly on skin, so it’s best to let the fragrance settle before heading out.

François Demachy

Dior's guardian of dreams

François Demachy is the in-house perfumer-creator at Christian Dior, a title that places him among the most influential noses in the world. Born in Cannes and raised in Grasse — the historic capital of perfumery — he carries the craft in his blood.

“Early on, I memorised a whole host of notes without even realising it. I could recognise moss and flowers. My nose educated itself.”
