In-house perfumer Francois Demachy adds an unexpected and unusual touch of salt to the warm floral composition, inspired by the natural phenomenon and finest gourmet salt "Fleur de Sel". This salty accord in the top of the composition emphasizes the combination of white flowers that includes sambac jasmine, neroli, tuberose and ylang-ylang from Grasse. An accord of ripe peaches in the perfume’s base gives the whole composition a fruity touch. It is however an Eau de Toilette, not a parfum and I can't yet vouch for the longevity but we'll see how it goes.

J'adore in Joy is exactly what it states: a scent of joy, love for life, instant fun and the exclamation of spring. I say summer too. Only in this case Demachy chooses to use more floral notes instead of fruit and gourmand notes that are mostly used in spring-summer related perfumes lately.Fruity nuances in the opening, dominated by pear and melon. A cool floral heart with a light white floral creaminess ending on a woody and vanillic base. Simple. Uncomplicated. I really like the idea of warm, peachy notes, florals and then a touch of salt as a wee surprise - perhaps like a slightly more exciting version of Boss' The Scent! Though I had expected the peach to have more honeyed tones. J’adore EDP is a sweet, crowd-pleasing scent that’s hard to go wrong with. It feels youthful and energetic but with an edge of sophistication. The softness of the florals and fruit makes it more of a spring and summer fragrance. It’s a clean day-time fragrance for work or the weekends.

And just like every hit before it, J’Adore became a victim of its own success spanning clones, cheap imitations, and eventually even cheaper reformulations that have only made it a bad caricature of itself smelling cheap, trashy, plastic. At first I tried on a blotter paper and when it settled I decided I liked it enough to try on skin, my skin can be a little temperamental though. Well... I owe an apology to many of You that stated here that J'adore after reformulation is just a devastating shadow of it's former self in terms of scent itself and projection. As for the salty flower: it's not that salty, so don't veer off because of it. Maybe this is the artificial note in it that might bother some customers, but do give it a sniff, it's not that terrible. Nothing from the DNA of the original J'adore, thank God. A new scent. Although it does remind me of Burberry Weekend, but by no means they are close, I would just put them in the same family.

The dry down finish does have a slightly soapy, powdery edge to it, which keeps it from being too young and cutesty—it almost reminds me of a sweeter, less woody Chanel fragrance—like a less woody and aldehydic No 5 or Coco Madmoiselle without the amber and patchouli. J’Adore is a cooler, fresher fragrance, tailor made for warmer weather and just mature and versatile enough to go from day to night. I can see all ages wearing this fragrance. However, there is an unpleasant metallic quality in the drydown; it is probably for the best that it (the EDT anyway) is so subtle and light. Longevity is weak and sillage is mild; it becomes a soapy skin scent in under two hours on me. Fine, considering it is an EDT. It's horrible what happened with this perfume. I really am not one of those people who complain about every reformulation on the market, I actually think that there are perfumes that have gone gracefully through reformulations (Pure Poison, Poison, Obsession). This is not one of them.

Now there’s no complexity, no seamless transitions from the ivy green notes, to the juicy melon, to the cool lilly of the valley and the creamy vanilla/sandalwood/cedar base. J’Adore became disfunctional when it started smelling functional. It has a certain allure about it, it is appealing -- (although not blatantly or overtly sensual or sexual).It has notes that have a little bit of that "tinker bell" type quality... a sparkling champagne effervescent chemical play that happens as the notes dance on the skin, giving this a very bright playful type vibe -- but with the peach notes grounding this, this warms the scent up at bit. There is a subtle peach tea type note with this which is unique because there are not many other fragrances that have this peach tea note. This later calms down more into a softer finish throughout the dry down. Yes, in the drydown there is an artificial note, but that's okay, it's bearable; you have to trace it alot. Fot the most part it sets powdery peachy on the skin after a nice detergent-like neroli, which is lost later. As for other florals in my opinion they appear and dissapear. A bit sad about tuberose, because i like the floral and would be happy for a more pronounced one with the already existing peach. But that's okay, at least we have neroli. DIVINE and guess what, I am not a fan of J'adore! No offence, it's just not me or my taste. I only liked a bit the EDT Lumiere edition, probably due to the neroli tone of Dior house.
