J'adore Eau de Toilette 2002

I'm wearing the 2002 and 2011 version today. 2011 immediately reaches its solar floral glory in comparison. 2002 has a weak start, but heart is beautiful and clear. I think it's magnolia, but also how lily of the valley smells and it raises it to a soprano. The newer edt feels warmer, simpler and less of a crescendo. A sampler I found at home of this particular version is how my love for J'Adore started. I still remember how it felt spoiled and close to nothing initially, but after a couple of hours I suddenly kept feeling wafts of something amazing. It was this silver neck gem and I still love its heart and acquired a bottle at some point of time. It is rich and multifaceted. I love the parfume the most, then edp or this. Then all the others. the silver neck is stronger and brighter and more multifaceted than the 2011 version. It radiates better, I still prefer it and it is still good enough to wear despite being a vintage juice. Drydown is identical to 2011 version, and detectable after ~12hours

Very gentle, bright, rather trendy...nice enough to attract you to buy the same bottle again until you finally realize that there must always be one. Charming plum runs through the composition and everything is made in an aristocratic way, distinctive but not particularly unique fragrance, although this light fragrance enhance the day and is perfect for spring and summer. Parfumed bodycream is similar to EdP, beautiful floral scent with a lot of freshness, cheerful, sunny and has a wide aura. The whole Dior J'adore collection is fantastic, incl. hair mist, in fact I don't know which is better. J'adore is superultrafeminine!

Why does the house description say "...amaranth, musk and blackberry in the trail" but Fragrantica's pyramid doesn't show either Blackberry nor Amaranth? I'm actually seriously enjoying this and, while I've always sort of liked the original j'adore, this is a little more interesting to me. I can see that for some it might come across a tad too synthetic but I find the dry-down well worth it, which sets in at about 15-20 minutes for me. It's fresh, yet warm, clean, yet playful and elegant yet surprising, and all in all very nonchalant and fun. Love it.

Agree with dina's review, ylang-ylang is clearly felt, although not mentioned and I'd like to add that original EdT, I mean this one, smells a way better then the "new" edition released last year - this def my fav among J'adore line when talking about EdT

I used to have this and totally, totally loved it and oh still continue to love it.Amazing!

I love j'adore EDP,but I didn't know I would fall for EDT! yes,the golden bottle of EDP is really nice,but EDT is easier to wear. it starts with kind of vanilla note and smells like ice cream to me.it's fruity and a bit sweet and it's much more floral. liley of the valley,orchid,jasmine...I feel them all like a bouquet of the flowers. it reminds me a young girl,eating ice cream and wearing a white flirty dress with lots of flower designs on it and a bouquet of spring flowers in her hands. easy going,lovely,young and mild,it's little sister of EDP and it's more sweet.

I used to be stunned by its smell when I tried it at the boutique several years ago - super fresh, elegant and classy in my opinion. Recently I have finally bought a 50ml bottle, but I'm not sure if it makes me feel exactly the same. I still think it smells nice. Maybe I can draw better conclusion after wearing it for some time.

This has all the beautiful floral notes of J'Adore, but in a very gentle way. I love wearing it for summer, it is fresh, it is not sweet and perfect for daily use. I dont't find it floral-fruity, on my skin it is only (very) floral. Love it !

To me it's a floral fragrance from the beginning till the end with prominent notes of Ylang-Ylang which is not listed. It's sparkling, fresh and would suite any age, could be worn for many occasions and in any season... A real classic and sophisticated perfume.

Smells plummy, bitter-citrusy and powdery at the same time. I also detect something alcoholic in it, probably from the plum. The combination plum-violet in a bitter tone makes it perfect for casual wearing, like jeans, and it also gives fragrance a nasty note.

I really like Dior perfumes, but this one was a real disappointment. Bad chemistry :( I tried to wear it more than 3 times but I could not. Reminds me like burned cooking oil. But in my mother's skin smell great ! Won't buy it again

I really wanted to like this one but I guess it's not my style. Maybe I like them sweeter? It was ok at first but the dry-down was not to my liking. Smells like something my mom had in the 80s.

Maybe this is just not my group of notes, but I couldn't find much in this scent or any of its' variations. It's a floral - for me much too intrusive and not pleasant.

stinky disgusting liquid in a pretty bottle. gave me a horrible headache and i literally peeled my skin off to get rid of it

This smells exactly like some dirt-cheap Spanish perfume I smelled while on holiday as a teenager about 20 years ago. Vile.

I really like it when someone else is wearing it but for me, no way. Gives me a headache.

One of the fragrances and I strongly prefer the Edt over the Edp. Its in my top 5. It.smells sophisticated but deeply sensual on my skin a good deal more than any skin musk and its all floral! This was the floral that turned me on to florals, it revolutionized my idea of sensuality and expanded my awareness into how natural(ish) smelling notes can be truly seductive. J'adore is the sensory equivalent of "the natural look" that men say they adore but is actually shaped by hours of makeup application. This is the unnaturally natural smell of a Floral Heaven. Gorgeous goddess Charlize Theron dipped in gold represents the fragrance perfectly.

This fragrance turned out to be a disaster on my skin. What smelt like a pretty floral fragrance from the bottle, transformed into a sour and bitter citrus scent when I sprayed it on my wrist. I honestly was not a big fan of the Eau de Parfum version, so I had been eager to try this version in hopes that it would be softer and prettier. Unfortunately when this fragrance blended with my chemistry it became more obtrusive than the original. I wanted so badly for this fragrance to be fresh and Summery however, in my opinion, it was far too strong.

Without reading any reviews previously, I associate this fragrance with a girl in a summer dress - those comments are very accurate. A laid-back summer afternoon in a light flowery dress, this is a picture of summer holiday in the country.

I am in love with this fragance!!! since i smelled it, i want to have it. It makes you feel sexy, femenine and beautiful!! it's a must have fragance 4 me.
