J'adore Eau de Toilette 2011

Perhaps this is due to chemical and formulation characteristics of EDT but this one upon application will have a really strong and pungent and persisting alcohol smell. for the first few minutes of application all you can smell is alcohol. Once the alcohol goes away you can start smelling a fresh citrusy top note that kinda reminds me of kitchen wipes. It is then mixed with a very prominent jasmine, with slight sweetness from the ylang ylang and definitely a powdery rose background. The vanilla and woodsy base makes this a very heavy and rich perfume rather than a youthful uplifting floral fresh fruity one. I personally am not the biggest fan of the vanilla woodsy base mixed with powdery florals in this one, it kinda makes the perfume heavy and indolic (re: stinky) in a way, but in general the scent is very high quality and expensive smelling. I think this is a great perfume for office whitecollar workers.

She’s not controversial, she’s nothing to write home about, but she is my girl, and my signature fragrance. Old reliable. Light and flowery, like walking through a champagne mist after the cork explodes, if you know how to handle her. I feel like she’ll be the best version of herself if you believe in her in your heart of hearts or be the meh version if she smells your indifference. Not every perfume needs to be absolutely scintillating or kicking the ass of every person that walks by you. If you’re a simple girl, or boy, with quiet tastes and a penchant for citrus and flowers, this one’s for you.

I never was never interested with J'adore, because I feel it was made just to be a crowd pleaser. The smell for me was just an average flowery perfume, boring in fact. But someone gifted me the eau de toillette version and I'm just going to use it for errands and what not. Nothing to scream home about. I think, when you have so many scents and your nose matures, these plain Jane perfumes don't quite hit the spot anymore. Apologies for anyone who loves this perfume. I dont hate it, just not impressed.

Not impressed. I ex0ected a lot more from this fragrance the way people rave about the j'adore line

A fresher and lighter version of the original... not bad. But meh...

Vastly better longevity in fabric than on skin for me. Very pretty fragrance, perfect for a hot humid summer as it seems to rise above the sweaty feeling and remain clean-smelling.

I took a chance on this for a steal, and I'm so pleased. Best blind buy I've had in a while. I know that this is a classy and classic scent- but I can be obstinate with popular things. I avoided this and the EDP due to popularity. My mistake! This is delightfully bright and effervescent. It does have that lovely clean soap scent and I'm here for it. The bottle is also undeniably lovely and feels great in the hand. I can't deny this edt- it hits right and I think it works in hot or cold weather. More of a sunshine scent for me, so most likely I'll be wearing it in the day more. It lasts well for an EDT on my skin and clothes. Steep price point- but it reflects the refinement.

this perfume reminds me of kendrick lamar screaming mustard. its so good it makes me wanna scream like that

My sister wanted J'adore for Christmas, foolishly I thought it would be like the original release, how wrong was I, the EDT smells nice, but it was truly like water, after an hour it had vanished, longevity is awful, I ended up going for the L'or, which performed a lot better, and was of course a lot more expensive. Sorry, but the once great fragrance is now a shadow of what it once was.

I just love how fresh and clean this smells, its so pure and luxurious. It smells like an expensive soap, similar to Dove. I adore it. I prefer the EDT over the EDP because its less sweet and more clean/soapy 🤍🤍

Ah, how to forget my first perfume. Yes, my first perfume was this masterpiece. My mother made sure to give me a taste of what is good at merely 15, before i seriously understood what i had: a scent i would be chasing forever. Much i've heard about how j'adore (any j'adore) is for an old lady who can't be bothered by new trends, since she just loves to do her nails and hair the same way she's been doing them since she found her 'tried and true' formulas, decades ago. Alas, i've become that lady. I've gone out of my way when younger, buying stronger and more intense scents, dying my hair and painting my nails in all shades of the rainbow, only to grow into someone who realizes she likes it when it's simpler, classier, atemporal styling what covers her. I've toned down, and found, along to that calmness, that i had a soft, floral beginning into this hobby, one that i appreciate fully, with all its soft beauty.

This is the closest J’Adore to the most recent Parfum D’Eau in the milky white bottle. If Dior ceases production on that one (they tend to do that with their best fragrances), then I will purchase this EDT. It’s prettier, softer and more girly than the J’Adore EDP. Just like the Eau it smells like a luxurious hair mask. I like it, but it’s not as gorgeous as the Parfum D’Eau. Unfortunately, simply hoarding bottles of the Parfum D’Eau won’t work since it has a shelf life of one year due to the alcohol-free concentration.

Solar floral. Creates a bubble. I think I love the eau de parfum concentration, but the 2011 eau de toilette might be better for summer and I quite love it too. I adore the bottle as well, even the spray is great - creates a mist like a cloud - you need just one spray on your neck. Much appreciated. The top is fresh, after half an hour only neroli stays, but maybe it is already the orange flower. Heart greets you with jasmine, a bit of ylang and tuberose. Drydown is perceivable after a couple hours - I can feel vanilla and ylang. It is still solar and has certain clarity and warmth, too. The earlier version with silver neck at this point is clearer and fresher.

One spray goes a very long way, I think this is a very particular smell. Not for everyone since at first it's intensely citrusy, I'd say too over powering and when it dries down it's borderline detergent smell for a while, when fully dry it's much better. Like a fresh linen candle scent. I personally prefer Jadore l'or over this one, I might take some time to get used to since I'm more of a musk kind of person than a white floral. I wouldn't wear this in winter as it's very much of a summer scent. If you love a strong white floral, you'd like this! get a sample and give it a go.

J’Adore EDT is such a lovely light scent!! When I smell it, I imagine a sunny spring/summer day in a garden. This fragrance is a bit sharp at first, but dries down fast to a delicate and graceful floral scent with a hint of citrus. A bit later I can also definitely get that woodsy note in the background. All of these notes blend together nicely into a well-made elegant fragrance. Perfect for the spring and summer seasons!

The floral and woody notes in this EDT are well blended. The scent appears sharp at first but at the dry down, the musc comes through and it becomes a well balanced clean feminine scent that is quite pleasant. It is therefore safe as a blind buy or for gifting. This is often classed as summer or spring fragrance but for some reason it shines through in colder weather and evenings. Certainly for family friendly evening ocassions this could be a great choice and perhaps formal events, too. Sillage is decent and staying power is amazing for an EDT. Final remarks is that if you want a floral scent with personality, this is not it. The J’adore DNA is present throughout, which adds to elegance and initially turn heads, but it lacks uniqueness. After a couple of hours, you just smell of expensive soap and it does not turn heads anymore. But again, it is a safe bet for most ocassions and certainly one to have in a collection of clean florals.

It reads as very heavy on the jasmine, rose, and woody notes on my skin. The flowers don’t feel very natural and seem quite sharp, harsh, almost synthetic. Very well blended, hard to identify individual notes. Something about the combination of these notes reads as bug spray on my skin-I noticed this with another scent with the same notes recently. This EDT starts out very strong, overpowering almost. It dries down very fast. 15 minutes later it’s a skin scent. Seems like it would completely vanish around the 2-3 hr mark. I’m currently at 30 minutes and can barely read it. Reminds me of Gucci Bloom Ambrosia do Fiori flanker, but I like the Gucci one a lot more. This one feels like a vintage, less realistic and pretty perfume version of a scent like Bloom Ambrosia.

Oh, how I love wearing this in the winter. Makes me think of the sparkling crystals of snowflakes. The florals in this scent really shine at this time of year. It also lasts all day with beautiful trailing silage. As I mentioned before on the Lumiere review page, the Eau de Toilette is now the Lumiere scent. The change in name was a big mistake, IMO, as this really is a luminous scent that perfectly fits the original name. There were two prior formulations of the Eau de Toilette before Dior decided to use the formula of Lumiere for J'Adore Eau de Toilette 2020. The original version in 2002, and the first reformulation in 2011. I haven't had the opportunity to try the original or first reformulation, but I can assure you that what is selling now is the Lumiere scent as I have both the original Lumiere and a bottle of 2020 Eau de Toilette. It is exactly the same scent and just as stunning as Lumiere. Fragrantica really needs to update the information on this fragrance to reflect the change.

p o o r l o n g e v i t y I can smell white flowers only. Mainly neroli and jasmine, a bit of tuberose. The fragrance disappears before the base layer unveils. The EDP has a better staying power. It is a very pretty, inoffensive, and unique fragrance, very calming and comforting, but you don't get the value for the money unfortunately.

Well.... it definitely smells like it should be sold at Macy’s. I don’t super hate it, though. If you like Gucci Bloom or Zoologist Dragonfly, you might like this too. Assuming you can get past the grandma notes.

I really don't like this fragrance. It is cloying and not a delicate musk. I tried the flankers before I tried to original J'adore and I didn't dislike them as strongly as the original EDP J'adore. I tried it on card, I tried it on skin and I continually sniffed throughout the day trying to warm to it but all it reminds me of is an old Grandma's musky purse after a hot day.

Wearing this feels like chewing on a very old piece of sweet chewing gum, one that you perhaps chewed a few days ago and then left under a school bench.. only to get reacquainted with it today. I can actually vividly sense that scenario from this edt version. Here, there is basically only some weak ylang ylang and the smell of pencil shavings (there is probably some Iso E Super present) maybe even something metallic, but not in a cool anorganic way... it smells of a metal sharpener that has been tossing and turning in a teenagers backpack for far too long. I actually like that smell, but here it feels accidental and the general composition is much too weak to bother. I am not saying that this scent is for school goers, nobody needs this fragrance. I will admit that I do like the idea I get from it (old sweet chewing gum stuck inside the pencil sharpener)... but I can't accept it because I doubt there was any intentionality for it behind this edt version od J'adore.

I almost forgot, how amazing this one smells. Flowers, citruses a (laundry detergent) musk. Soft, pure and clean. It even made an impression on my younger son (he's five), who asked me, if I am wearing a new perfume. He never comments on my perfumes. I know, it's mainstream, but very very beautiful mainstream. I truly love it. Edit: My older son and my husband love it too. So it is a win-win-win-win situation :) that had never happened before. And I love it even more.

My signature! It's just how I wanna smell and what kind of impression I want to leave on people in every day settings. Put together, a woman who knows her boundaries, but she's still very kind and feminine.... with a private sexy side. Weirdly..It's kinda motherly to me as well. You know that woman or a young girl that's just naturally good with kids and they love her. Just has this womanly safety to her. Don't necessarily has to have her own children. And I might just have this association because my mom used to love this. She had 80s version. Different than this but has the same spirit. Your man will keep bearing his nose to your hair and neck. Fruits and flowers blended together to perfection.

Oooh I really loved this sunshine scent when I put it on this morning. It was oranges and flowers and cheerfulness. Then a cool juicy melon and acquatic note That somehow blended perfectly with the florals. Not a note out of place. I couldn’t get enough of sniffing my arm. But I kinda had to sniff my arm because the sillage was so poor. It did last all day. And was so pleasant. But it wasn’t strong enough for me. More like a bath splash than a perfume. I am intrigued enough, however, to look for a more concentrated version like the EDP.

Love for summer. Like reviewer below haven’t worn this in a while and today I put this on in humid 87 degree weather. This gives off a fruity floral scent. Sillage very good it keeps lingering up and my friend asked what I was wearing. Longevity for summer humidity excellent, most disappear in summer ( some of my niche brands are bad in summer). The EDT is beautiful, great daytime wedding,party,shower date night fragrance for summer.

I love, no I adore this more than EDP. EDP version is more floral, it's heavy on floral especially jasmine and white flowers. EDT is more bergamot-y, more fruity and lighter. It's a real joy wearing it. When I sniffed first, I was really young age. When I closed my eyes, I dreamed myself in a wedding gown wearing this perfume. Years later, it was a gift from my hubby's mom before the wedding. It was almost a dream came true. On the wedding day, I forgot to wear my dream perfume- actually any kind of perfume- because of all the fuss and everything. Plus, it came my mind one week later after the wedding :,(

A hideous, tacky sharp floral fragrance, that reminds one of the cheap perfumes by Avon, but is exorbitantly expensive. Vulgar, for people devoid of any taste who are happy to show off their expendable wealth. The only image that comes to my mind as soon as I sniff it and never leaves for hours after the smell has vanished (wich unfortnately takes long hours, as this synthetic substance sticks to your skin even after you take a long shower) is of a group of nouveau-riche moms in their late 30s meeting at an elevator on a condo showing each other their bottles of expensive perfumes and talking about how much they paid for it while they go to a tea around the center table at one of them' apartment.
