J'adore Eau de Toilette 2011

MissK's review below says everything I would have done so please see below - this is indeed far fresher than the EDP which genuinely felt as if someone had shoved a bouquet of slightly gone-over white flowers doused in a melon-heavy fruit cordial up my nose and left it there. The drydown was bearable but I'm not sure how much of that was just my brain surrendering a kind of olfactory Stockholm Syndrome if you will. I LIKE strong scents but this was a refined assault - not in a painful, throat-catching way, just like being pitched into a pool of berry and melon-flavoured garlands some of which you inhale before emerging. I digress - the EDT, by contrast, is flowery, fresh, classy and non-invasive. I wish I got the jasmine and african orange blossom as much as lucky MissK but this is certainly going on a my list as a nice, non-offensive but refined floral for formal occasions, as I can't cope with the traditional aldehydes or botanical musks that often are deemed appropriate for such times. I must be honest though and say that I don't perceive the individual 'essences' as listed by Dior of Italian Mandarin, Damascus Rose and Neroli, but I suppose by terming them 'essences' rather than 'extraits' Dior has left itself plenty of wriggle-room for individual interpretation of the blousy white floral bouquet it actually smells of to me. The vanilla listed above is personally undetectable, but I have been wearing Alien Absolue recently so perhaps I've become desensitised to all but the most potent featuring of the pod?

Got it from Brussels airport.love it so much... I just wear it in special occasions. the thing that I confuse is I got it since 2009! I though it was the other edt but this one has golden colour and smell like described here. very very confuse but I like it better than the edp. hi,does anyone knew which countries sell the golden edt? in UAE the edt has clear colour with white box (the old edt) and different smell.In my country,singapore or japan it has the same box but it has clear colour.i spesifically bring my old bottle and it's totally different! And just found out that my old j'adore edt is J'Adore Eau De Toilette Spray 75ml/2.5oz F061523709 Confidence and sensuality With the blend of Mandarin, Champaca Flowers, Jasmine, Ivy, African Orchid, Rose, Ylang-ylang, Violet, Damascus Plum, Amaranth Wood and Blackberry Musk notes After so many fuss looking for my edt I got it again from Belgium, the new golden edt..F061523209, the one listed here. it's turn out my old one is not exist anymore and might only sold in selected area... The old one more vibrante in my skin than the new one.. it's different vibe...At begining and at the end of wearing it these two smell different, but somewhere in middle (say 2hours after) they smell alike. i love both, but i'll save my old one as long as i can since i can't smell it anywhere anymore. it's really confidence and sensual

I just bought this EDT recently (couple days ago to be exact) I am in love straightaway with the Tuberose. At the beginning this bottle was just an in-flight duty free blind buy out of boredom waiting to land. I got it, opened it and sprayed it, at first I didn't notice much fragrance out of it except for Ylang Ylang (which I don't mind at all). Little did I know that after I landed, I saw the girls who were sitting behind me were rushing to duty free perfume section to buy 2 bottles of this EDT 100ml (the one which I bought is 50ml). I got a little curious on why they suddenly like it... So when I arrived hotel, I sprayed on my clothes and on my skin. After awhile, I could smell tuberose and rose in the room from my shirt. Whilst on my skin I notice much of Ylang Ylang, Citrus and Woodsy notes. I wore the shirt and sprayed some on my skin again, men praised the smell and they didn't notice much but they just said "something smell good here" and yet it lingers for quite sometime. Funny as I walked through the garden (and it was winter in Taiwan) a male friend next to me mentioned that he smell somekind of flower and it smells good. I guess sillage was quite good. Not as long as I expect out of that price of a perfume. I am putting this EDt as one of my loved and favourite!

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.

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.

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.

It's hard to pinpoint the notes in this. One might say that it's classically 'perfumey' rather than distinctly fruity or floral, etc. OK, perhaps there's citrus, but it's sharp and short-lived, so not relevant for long. To my nose J'adore EDT has some class, and is most suitable for evening wear. It has medium sillage on me. Longevity is also medium, but with a distinct pattern: Intensity drops off rather too quickly, after just a couple of hours, but then it has a very long, low residual which is quite pleasant up close on the skin. It's like a sweet, subtle olfactory stain that lasts 24 hours or more. I think J'Adore has no major flaws and, whilst it may not stop people in the street, it's nice enough to keep and to wear, especially for the drydown.

If something is mainstream, I am not usually inclined to try it. BUT when I found this one for sale, I fell for the beauutiful bottle and blind bought it. Surprise! I actually love it! It's definitely not too sweet/cloying (like a lot of mainstream fragrances are), and it actually doesn't smell too generic (forgettable floral). To me, this smells like honeyed jasmine (I was surprised that honey isn't listed as a note). It's a clean but opulent jasmine, and the scent is simple but memorable. This makes me think of tree nymphs picking flowers in a green meadow! Tinkling, breezy, sparkling, and sunny. This is an EDT, but the sillage and longevity are pretty impressive. Would wear to: picnic, date, school/work, sleepover, tea party.

I am not sure whether the remarks about the similarity of Benetton Giallo are based on the EDT or the EDP. However, I tested the theory this evening with my 10 yo daughter. Initially, on first spray, J'Adore EDT is much more complex and rich. Then once it all settles, Giallo's alcohol base tones down and J'Adore EDT just evens out - they are pretty much one and the same thing. I realise Giallo has no sillage in comparison. How sad, especially at that price! :) My little daughter initially said that CD J'Adore smells like old people/death (a bit dramatic, I agree) whereas Giallo was lovely to her from the outset. She's officially swiped one of my bottles of Giallo... *sigh*

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.

i've been using this beauty for years, and finished 2 bottles. I really love it because it's fresh and womanly at the same time. A good choise for any occations, ages and seasons. I much prefer this one rather than the eau de parfum for its crisp vibe, which I find more versatile than the deeper fruity richness of J'adore edp. Classic and modern at the same time, it's never boring, and a safe choise when I don't know which parfum to choose from my collection. I think citruses, white flowers and vanilla are perfect and well blended in this amazing fragrance,and none of them is prevaling. Sillage and lasting power are proper for an edt. Charming!

I was on the hunt for another perfume (not like I need one but needs and wants are two different things) and I stumbled across the J'adore Eau de Parfum. It was love at first spray, but eventually I felt it leaned too warm and strong for my taste/nose. I decided to check out the Eau de Toilette and fell in deep, long-lasting love. It's cleaner and fresher than the EDP and therefore more wearable in my opinion. Even then, it's a warmer fragrance than I usually like (with Chanel No. 19 being my signature), but it is truly gorgeous and will be a staple of mine for years to come.

J'adore Eau de Toilette não é um cheiro exclusivo nem diferenciado, no entanto: é um perfume fresco, elegante e sexy por ser um cheiro descontraído (chique sem se esforçar). Exala notas florais e cítricas que dão um ar "azedo" e "doce" ao mesmo tempo. Perfuma uma pessoa de forma equilibrada e deliciosa! Na minha opinião nenhuma das outras versões de J'adore podem nos proporcionar a mesma sensação. Durabilidade na minha pele: 4h/5h (se aplicado generosamente) Projeção: bastante perceptível desde início da aplicação até fim de sua estada na pele.

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!

This smells so great! I used to own the eau de parfum, but actually like this eau de toilette better. It is a bit more on the fresh and fruity side than the edp. I got the hair mist form the J'adore line recently and been loving that one also. It is not that strong, but stays in your hair a long time. It is a very sensual way to wear a perfume :) !

Es la versión ligera del J'adore original, es mucho menos frutal. Lo describo como un perfume muy elegante, que se distingue, huele dulce con un toquecito cítrico, lo que mas detecto son las notas de neroli, ylang-ylang, jazmín y la vainilla -son de mis notas preferidas-. Tiene muy buena longevidad, mas de 10 horas y excelente proyección.

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.

I love gourmands, don't get me wrong, I have and love many of them, but how great it is to relax from them from time to time and wear something so elegant. This perfume has pure elegance in it, it is so beautiful. Sometimes I forget how much I love it.

To me one of the best fragrances out there, if not the best. An instant classic! The mixture of Jasmine and Ylang-Ylang is the one that comes out the most on my skin. If I didnt love so many different fragrances, this would be my signature scent.

Mucho más ligero que el EDP (el cual me gusta para el invierno) y menos complejo que el Absolut. Me encanta, es un olor elegante, como me dice mi esposo :D Huele citrico al inicio y luego floral, al secarse huele a vainilla y me dura horas!!
