J'Adore In Joy

I first smelled this at the mall when I was on a tightly packed escalator - so many shoppers out that day. The girl just ahead of me was wearing this and on her, this smelled simply divine. There was a beautiful fragrance trail as she stepped off the escalator. I couldn't help but ask her what she was wearing -- and it was THIS, J'Adore in Joy! J'Adore In Joy has the ozonic aldehyde effect similar to the first sprays of perfumes like Calvin Klein's Escape; Estee Lauder's White Linen; Elizabeth Taylor's White Diamonds, ET's Diamonds and Emeralds, and ET's Diamonds and Sapphires; and Un Jardin En Mediterranee by Hermès (it has the same chemical ozonic aldehyde effect as these perfumes but does not smell like these). When this is sprayed, it is as if the chemical chord of this expands and interacts with the air where this creates an atmosphere around you. This settles down after awhile, but the initial spray has a strong type of ozonic aldehyde effect. 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. When I first sampled this, I can see the references to baby wipes. Yes, there is definitely a freshness in this perfume that could be used in some other products. This is pretty and attractive. It has a certain allure about it, it is appealing -- (although not blatantly or overtly sensual or sexual). This is office friendly and I could see that this would be a perfume that would be great during spring/summer -- or a lighter fragrance to wear during the whole year - if this is really your thing -- and something that you resonate with. -------------- For those that feel that this is not quite enough -- that it is a bit incomplete... Why not add a touch of another fragrance note to this... Maybe an isolated floral like a tuberose; gardenia; something sweet -- Or - add something a bit more grounding for a lower alto type chord - pistachio or almond; dare I say vetiver? Hmmmmmmm- the possibilities are endless. This perfume provides a great base - you can keep tweaking this with different notes if you like. This is not a paint by numbers kit -- You can experiment with layering different perfumes - just for heaven's sake -- GO LIGHT! Don't create a fragrance bomb - here! Add a splash of whatever you like with this - and make it your own, (if you feel that this is too generic or unimpressive). ----------- One note: Several perfume reviews mention this, this has a very strong salty type note which comes out more - the longer this wears on the skin. This borders on some of the marine-salty type perfumes, which is a little wonky with my chemistry. The aldehyde/ozonic effect is also something that takes awhile to subside. This is aggravating my asthma a bit. --------------- This perfume starts with the dancing sparkling notes which is what I dearly LOVE about this perfume, that only lasts a few minutes before you are submerged in the salty type oceanic/marine chord. Make sure that you are someone who does well with the saltier notes. If so, this could be really fabulous on you. Unfortunately, this is not really working that well with my chemistry or asthma reactions. It will have to be returned, unfortunately - because I really love the first part of this perfume. This is definitely worth a try - The girl on the escalator wore this one extremely well; it was a perfect blend with HER chemistry! ----------- For those that are finding the salt a bit too much - I just found a sister perfume to this - "Chanel Gabrielle Essence" - This is slightly less salty, smells almost identical to the other notes in J'Adore In Joy!

Omg I was so excited to get a free sample from Malouf pharmacies Australia! They never give out samples normally. When I walked in-store, there stood the most beautiful display I've ever seen. Bottles of J'adore In Joy, surrounded by golden materials and glitter. I was immediately drawn to it like a magpie. I love huge white florals and am so sick of the same sweet fruity florals everywhere I go. In Joy was such a pleasant surprise. It's not overly sweet, even though it contains peach which I'm normally not a fan of. Everything just merges perfectly here. The beautiful white flowers are divine, mixing softly with this new salty note. Salt? If someone mentioned that before in perfumes I'd have thought of something aquatic or weird smelling, but here it just works. This is no ordinary fruity floral and the gold bottle is so stunning - just screams opulence but isn't over the top. You could wear this day or night in spring or winter. Lovely!!! That last photo of Charlize Theron is exactly how it smells if she were also surrounded by beautiful white flowers. I just wish I could afford a bottle now. ETA: I sprayed this on again freshly washed skin and unfortunately that salty note turned rank on me; the exact same thing happens with most aquatic/marine/oceanic notes. I probably didn't notice it the first time as I was sampling several perfumes that day. Great reminder to never buy straight from store but wait! Luckily it's just a sample. Not the J'adore for me but willing to try other flankers.

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. Guys, just wake up! I love Dior more and more everyday but mostly due to his perfumes. We may have seen thousands of editions coming and go but this one is a must. I've never thought I could smell salt. This was promised by Olympea-Paco Rabanne, WANT-DSQ2, but J'adore in joy strikes 100% of the feeling. If you're a lover of J'adore you may be shocked or pass by at first, but then the original EDP essence will follow, though not as a 'perfect' flower that doesn't exist according to Dior's nose Francois Demachy. Fresh, fresh, fresh. Salt if you may smell it, like a wave of the ocean smashing on a rock, a light touch of real peach (like the same trail Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet has on it's 'fruity' vibes) and then a nice harmony of white flowers. Francois, PLEASE! Please try to bring back Miss Dior Cherie or at least something way better now. We're all praying, aren't we guys/girls? Imagine the salty pop-cornish vibe together with fine patchouli, neroli and a bit of caramel. Now that I think about it, I can live without it. Great lasting power, sillage depending on skin. Try it, remember my words and...just ENJOY it!

Omg! Amazing! Absolutely gorgeous.This is juicy peachy fruit, slightly salty creamy gorgeousness. How did this escape my attention? I’m pretty sure because the original held almost no appeal to me. The original is very French grown up and perfumey. This is sparkling, fizzy, fun, creamy flowers of jasmine, a bit young and flirty, but still sophisticated and elegant. The peach 🍑 is very pronounced and fresh. It’s creamy, sunshine and delicious. The jasmine and ylang are beautiful together. There is a sparkle of citrus coming from the neroli that joins the peach. I also tried the J’adore Absolu and found it to be less fruity, more deep, floral, and creamy. It’s absolutely gorgeous as well and I’ll be purchasing that one too. Are these the most original, complex, and groundbreaking fragrances? Not even close, but they are classy and elegant even if they are a little simple. In fact I like that about them. Like the Dior New Look style it will never look bad. I’m kind of upset with myself for just dismissing this line because I’ve been missing out.

J’Adore in Joy represents Dior’s take on a salty, white/yellow floral for summertime wear! The classic J’Adore is probably the most beloved Dior fragrance and for good reason! This seems to be less liked, but it’s my favourite J’Adore. J’Adore in Joy is a fabulous choice for careless sunny, warm days spent out in the sunshine. It retains the heart floral of the iconic J’Adore but it has been twisted by adding a top note of salt, cutting down the amount of fruits and woods and adding a tropical, exotic facet with the addition of ylang ylang. It’s a more creamy, bright, elegant, a saltier, marine, yellow floral version of the 1999 iconic J’Adore! While I love and own the classic, luminous J’Adore, I adore J’Adore in Joy! I happen to have a crush on salty perfumes, which I wasn’t even aware until recently.. I am not sure if it was intended to be a limited edition launch, but like with all the designer’s perfumes I love, seems to not be available to purchase currently. Does anyone know if J’Adore in Joy is officially discontinued??
