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.
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 already.
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.

Beautiful opening (fruity pear with tuberose, holding for a half on hour), horrible heart (nose biting scratchy I don't know what, holding for 7 hours and beautiful fresh base again until the fragrance die. Tricky fragrance and not that all beautiful.
Yeah no. I dislike the original J'Adore and I dislike this, but this is maybe a bit more tolerable. The worst thing is that I cannot put my finger on just what is so terrible about it to my nose, usually I am able to tell. I'll give it some more thought.
