J'Adore L'Absolu

Exquisite fragrance which blends all its notes magnificently like a finely tuned orchestra. I can identify most of the notes which are a lovely juicy pear, blended with rosé and a very well behave tuberose which is not prominent in this perfume thankfully! The jasmine is soft and delicate and the overall fragrance is soft, creamy and utterly delicious. I can't fault this perfume, it's perfect in every way, perhaps a future classic if it isn't one already. The L'Absolu is very similar to the original perfume but perhaps a little more intense in the beginning, however the heart and the dry down seem to be very similar to my nose. I'm not sure why there was a need to recreate this with another name and a more expensive price tag, marketing exploitation I guess but I give this a thumbs up anyway.

This is heavenly. There's lots of layers to this one. Near the top is unmistakably a very classy rose, not too heavy, not too light, just very pretty. Next is the tuberose - oh my - I can't remove my nose from my wrist for long enough to even write this review. There are other florals that I can't define, they're very much the supporting act to my nose. I absolutely have to have this and I'm making it a priority. I'm not a happy bunny though, my husband has just walked in with a bacon sandwich and ruined the moment. ETA: Estee Lauder's Private Collection Tuberose Gardenia was on my wish list, J'Adore Absolu is far better, more rounded and balanced.

Oh my, I think I like this more than the original. Seems less floral and has a slight bitterness to it that eventually turns into a light, airy, clean scent. almost reminds me of a sparkly pear. What it is....elegant, refined, balanced, and sophisticated. Almost passed on testing this, as the original J'adore seemed too floral and flat. This somewhat reminds me of Chanel Allure but much softer. Silage is soft and longevity is about 6 hours. Would consider purchasing.

I absolutely love this one :). On me, it's more delicate than the original J'adore and less prominent. It's a very floral scent (which I like) but not in a sharp, but in a soft, warm way. It feels like some kind of soft, nice blanket :). I'd love to have whole bottle, but it's too expensive for me. I guess I'll just have to keep asking samples.

I love it! Christian Dior's J'adore series is amazing, my very favorites perfumes. These are all sensual, very feminine and delicate. It is perfume for strong, smart and self-concious women.
