The story behind Dior J'adore revolves around embodying Christian Dior's love for women and the beauty of flowers, with the 1999 fragrance created by perfumer Calice Becker. The iconic tear-drop bottle was designed by Hervé Van der Straeten, taking inspiration from a woman's curves and the Maasai tribe's necklaces. The name itself is a French exclamation of love and a tribute to Dior's heritage, while the scent harmoniously blends notes like jasmine, ylang-ylang, and rose to create a sophisticated, timeless floral scent.
