Dior
J'adore EDP
“Gold-draped glamour that doesn't ask for attention — it commands it.”
One of the best-selling designer fragrances of all time — Calice Becker's 1999 launch for Dior, the modern white-floral reference. Pear at the top, leading into a jasmine-tuberose heart over a soft vanilla drydown. Works best in spring daytime. Anchored Dior's modern feminine line that later spawned multiple flankers and concentrations.
