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??

Perfect for summer, a salty peachy scent with wafts of jasmine when inhaling more deeply. I'd say in order of prominence I get sea salt, peach, and sometimes smell the jasmine. So I'd say the salty/marine accords really do shine through the most. I haven't smelled anything like it yet. This is a perfume that goes well with extreme heat without being in the category of fresh perfumes, which a lot of summer perfumes tend to be. It's not really sweet or gourmand, though I can imagine this as salt crystals that line the rim of a yummy oceanside cocktail, maybe a peachy one! Only negatives are this is very light, albeit typical of these kinds of perfumes for summer (i.e. Bronze Goddess) and sometimes what people look for in summer perfumes. It does last more than 3 hours, however. It's definitely not a dupe, but if you want something with a similar vibe for cheap, Jennifer Aniston Beachscape reminds me of this.

I've tried this a couple of times - out shopping by spritzing my wrists quickly - then seeing how this sets up on my skin. I really love the sparkling dance of colorful ingredients that first sets up on the skin. This lasts the first 30 minutes to an hour, then seems to sit much flatter to the skin. I'm drawn to the sparkling - dancing of ingredients -- if I purchase this in the future - it will be because I really like this quality. Womanity also has this same type of sparkling quality - but there were irritating ingredients in that one that didn't set up with my skin and chemistry. --------- I smelled this Joy on a lady that I recently met - and it smelled FANTASTIC! It reads GREAT in an area about 5 feet away from the person that is wearing this. This is one that I'm drawn to - out of the newest releases this year. I need to keep revisiting this - will probably purchase it!

Didn't realise this flanker was not as popular as others, I mean.. how can it not be the star of the show?! It's not J'adore tho, in my opinion, very little resemblance to OG or the other flankers. Perhaps it just works well with my chemistry, hands down this is my most complimented perfume of all time by both men and women since the summer of 2018 (200+ full bottles of juice plus over 400+ miniatures and testers that aren't listed on my profile -yet), I'm on my second big bottle and have a backup bottle also 🤭 Little goes a long way, it's sweet it's peachy it's fresh it's juicy it's salty it's playful yet elegant, it's true happiness to me, awakening my senses like no other, lifts my mood instantly. Great performance and sillage for an edt is outstanding 👏 it is very Dior. I think she is the one for me ♥️

Just launched here!!, real pretty fresh floral, different from J'Adore range has offer, is unique in it's own. I love the contrast between the salty note (nothing marine or calone) with the floral edge, Jasmin and White floral notes, makes an exclusive feeling, followed by a tiny fruity tone. Is soo bright, without being typical summery scent. Feminine and with a real elegance... I have realized that causes reactions, friends who like regular or Absolu editions doesn't find attractive or totally opposite, so that is very interesting, fragrances which incite determinations. It also doesn't fit into gourmands, is a new salty trend, which in this case is absolutely beautiful... From my view doesn't resembles Womanity nor Olympea, not at all.

This is lovely!! At first sniff it reminds me of a minty melon. Weird, since neither of those is listed as a note. But that's what it smells like to me. ^-^ It's actually so refreshing for hot summer days, where some perfumes can be cloying and too sweet, but not this one. Now, seeing the notes, I can tell it smells a bit salty, indeed. I've smelled a sample of this in the winter and remember not liking it. But I've since heard it's great for the summer, so I reached for it again now in August and it was perfect! It definitely is on my wishlist now as a summer scent. Also, I don't find it similar to the original J'adore, but it's just as lovely for me!

This opens with a spectacular confetti like burst of a fragrance chord! I LOVED it the second that I smelled the opening - however, it quickly dried down into something that was not really registering well on my skin. I love the first burst of this - It was delightful! But need to study this a bit more before purchasing it -- I wish it would hold the first bright burst of confetti... This is what I really LOVE about this particular fragrance! --------- This is completely different than the original Jadore - or than Dior's Joy. Easy to confuse this by the name. You really need to try this one on your own skin. The first confetti burst is totally a JOY!

Ooooo! Immediately, I like this! The saltiness comes straight through on top, with the delicate white florals following behind. A touch of peachy yellow flowers at the base, and this is honestly summertime floral perfection. The shampoo-like scent of the original j’adore has been replaced with an almost beachy vibe... J’adore, to either its advantage or detriment, smells very 90s (I personally love all eras of perfumery, so this isn’t necessarily a con to me) but this smells a lot more modern, without losing its original characteristics. I really like this! This, and Absolu, are my favorites of the J’adore line.

Starts off very different from other J'Adore flankers I've smelt. It starts off bright and fruity. I believe that's the peach with just enough white florals in the background to ground it. So far the white florals don't seem indolic. I'm getting none of the urine-like overripe white floral scent I get from the original 1999 J'Adore or YSL's Mon Paris. Whatever they did here smells much better, cleaner and younger. 20 mins in the bright juicy peach has dissipated and J'Adore's signature indolic white flower scent has taken over. The indolic scent is well-tamed however so it never goes overly putrid.

The first spritz of this is so powerful as the alcohol is evaporating it makes me almost cough, but I am smiling, as the scent fills my senses with... Joy! There is just something about the J'Adore collection that I absolutely love (clue is in the name I guess). In Joy is J'Adore's little sister who fell off the yacht off the coast of South Africa while holding a glass of Woo Woo or some other fruity cocktail drink while wearing the EDP. I am terrible at describing fragrances so apologies. Longevity on skin :5/6HRS Sillage: Radiates somewhat but mainly sits close to the skin.

J'adore meets womanity. Its the fleshy peach and piercing salt that creates the similarity. But this is sparkling, bright and doesn't give off a metallic smell. On the skin it mellows out quite a bit and the fresh dna of j'adore is present. I am smelling something citric in this too, like grapefruit, but its not listed. So far this is my favourite of all the j'adores and i can't wait to purchase a bottle. Edit: a friend got it for me for my birthday I'm cheering! It's so beautiful I love it.

This has just landed in our beautiful New Zealand. A++++ to the house of Dior. i have used J'adore for many years and jumped at buying J'adore in Joy. What a beautiful perfume. I can't compare it to any fragrance I've tried before. Just simply feminine, regal almost. I can wear this any season, any time of day. My husband keeps saying it smells very good, so nice. I am even struggling to pin point any distinct notes, they amalgamate in perfect harmony. Maybe I even prefer this to J'adore!

Just lovely and gorgeous in the summer heat! Salty jasmin, peach and yellow flowers. Crisp, bright and with just the hint of tuberose. It's there, surely, and maybe it's more than a hint, but the jasmin, the ylang ylang and the neroli/peach combo makes the tuberose behave like "one in the crowd" instead of acting like the boss she often acts like. Such great and uplifting and yet sensual summer fragrance! Salty jasmin at its best.

My 11 year old daughter told me I smelled nice when I was wearing this and she is not very giving with her compliments lol. This is a fresh and uplifting scent to me. It’s refreshing to wear and is my first experience with the jadore line. Bright and fresh opening with a little fruit a little floral but not too much of either. Quite happy with it and projection and longevity good on my skin. This is a grown woman fruity floral.

My signature scent for a few years now. Absolutely stunning, elegant, well-blended, unique, effortless... I really don't understand the low-ish rating, maybe because it doesn't have that smell of the OG J'Adore? Idk, it's definitely more contemporary and less mature, but I find that to be a positive. The only thing I can fault is the longevity and projection but it's an EDT so 3-4hrs is pretty standard.

The opening is very fresh, salty (like a sea breeze) and citrusy with the sweet tone of jasmine in the back. It's very cheerful, completely suit its name. I sprayed it and went outdoor, and this one really bloom in the heat. You must try it yourself! A little let down is the dry down that turns into original J'adore plus faint salty note, but the opening is ravishing!
