J'adore (pronounced [ʒ‿adɔʁ]; French for "I love", and a pun on the brand Dior)[1] is a perfume for women that was created in 1999 by French master perfumer Calice Becker for Parfums Christian Dior,[2] with a distinct tear-drop bottle shape designed by Hervé Van der Straeten.[3] Actress Charlize Theron has been the face of the brand since its launch.[4][5] Some perfume critics have detected a change in the recipe since the 1999 launch.[6][7]

J'adore carries top notes of pear, melon, magnolia, peach, mandarin, bergamot, and neroli. The middle notes are Grasse jasmine and jasmine sambac, orange flower, ylang-ylang, lily of the valley, orchid, plum, violet, tuberose, and Damascus rose. The base notes are musk, blackberry, cedar, and vanilla.[8][9]

The Dior perfumer, Francois Demachy, states: "J’adore is an extraordinary fragrance, because it succeeds in being effortlessly seductive while boasting an original signature. Carnal, but not overbearing. This is a composition that unites contrasts, transforming iconic floral notes into an appealing, unprecedented and mysterious ensemble. J'adore invents a flower that does not exist."
