J’Adore In Joy by Dior

As the previous reviewer said, it’s a fresh, light, and sparkling J’adore. I loved it. Although it doesn’t last as long as the classic version, it lasts about 5 hours, and sometimes the wind carries bursts where you can smell the jasmine and salt.

Refined, fresh, and feminine. It’s the beach version of the original J’adore and a much better-composed sibling of Olympéa. A refreshing and elegant mix of salt, peach, and jasmine.

It has nothing fresh about it; the scent is really unpleasant and causes controversy with people around me, haha. Since I didn’t like it, I tried to gift it, but nobody wanted it, so a friend ended up keeping it. It’s heavy, too floral, and I can smell a strong chemical note. The only good thing is its longevity.

It’s too expensive for what it lasts, at least on my skin. The opening is nice, but it vanishes in 15 minutes; then it becomes skin scent for a couple of hours and that’s it.

I love this scent; it’s my favorite of the J’adore line. With it, I discovered that I love the salty note, but I’m disappointed by the performance: the trail is moderate and the longevity is only about 2 hours. This makes it expensive even when on sale. Still, I like it so much that I might buy it again during a sale. It hurts my soul that it doesn’t last.

The salt stays with me (literally, those who know me well can attest). The salt and vanilla make me lose all perspective. A perfume with well-mixed salt or vanilla could work: hello to Reveal with its salt and pepper, or Olympea Aqua with its salty vanilla. As for florals, I won’t even talk about them because my nose blocks them and I focus on these two. Dior is my fetish brand and the only one with both feminine and masculine perfumes, although I hate the categories. I fell head over heels for the vanilla and coconut in Hypnotic Poison EDT, and the intense Hypnotic Poison EDP with licorice. Also Addict with its night-blooming flower and bourbon vanilla, and Midnight Poison with its patchouli and vanilla potion. But I never imagined speaking with so much love about a J’adore flanker. I find it feminine and perhaps a bit dull because it’s not a head-turner. It’s correct, neat, but not dazzling. It has its legion of followers, whom I don’t intend to offend. J’adore In Joy is a 2017 disco-flanker that breaks with the conventional structure. It starts salty in the heart notes of jasmine and neroli, but there’s so much salt it reaches the unusual base: the peach, enhancing it. Just peach, without musk, woods, or vanilla. I don’t know if it will go down in history; today it’s not easy to find, and I had it for a laugh, but it’s been four days I haven’t chosen another. It’s perfect for unbearable heat and has decent performance: about 10 hours on skin, projecting moderately for the first 6, then becoming a skin scent like an indelible mark.

Same thing happened to me as with Melissa: I had to wash my wrist. Definitely not for my nose.

In my opinion, it’s more of a scent of feelings than specific notes. It smells like the beach at sunset, that fresh post-shower moment after a sunny day; that’s what it aims for and achieves. But for me, it evokes something more concrete and special: the smell of opening the closet at the beach house, with clean towels that have been stored since last year. I love it; it feels nostalgic and produces pleasant sensations, giving it that rare and special touch. On the downside, the sillage is weak, the nose gets used to it quickly, and you end up over-applying until you’re practically drinking it (it didn’t last me even a summer). Also, when I wear it, I get a slight stinging sensation on my lips, probably from the salt. That said, I think it’s fantastic, perfect for daily wear and heat, elegant, with personality, and an interesting vintage touch.

I’ve tried it a couple of times and it still doesn’t quite convince me.

Not bad, it has personality, although the original J’adore smells like dead water on my skin. This opens with a subtle peach, velvety skin, and white flowers, soft like 90s amber florals toned down, without screaming. After ten minutes, it mutates into a Nivea-style body lotion with salty notes, like bathing at the beach with hygiene products, but without the tropical vibe; it’s the abstract scent of saltwater, without the sun or the hustle. The mix of faint flowers and salt isn’t bad, it lasts well, but the sillage is meager and the formula feels like a persistent white breeze, though it might get boring. What doesn’t fit is the ridiculous price for a comfortable floral with bits of body milk.

It’s a very feminine and sensual perfume. I love it; it’s sexy, refined, and delicate all at once. I recommend it for bold girls and for going all out at the club. It’s not a bad idea for daytime either, especially if you work with the public.

I have the miniature and it’s a gorgeous bottle. The fragrance is rich, but it doesn’t quite convince me. It’s better in the initial phase than in the middle and base; I sense an almost sour acidic note on my skin there that I don’t like much.

Just tried it on my skin and was pleasantly surprised; I didn’t expect it to smell so nice, though nothing groundbreaking. It’s a white floral, subtle and tender, reminding me quite a bit of Giorgio Armani’s SI. The salt note doesn’t really appeal to me, but I don’t perceive it on my skin; neither does the neroli, which I don’t love much, and that’s a plus because the flowers stand out more: jasmine and ylang-ylang. I’m definitely getting a bottle of this tender olfactory delight. Even if it lacks unique complexity, I want to own it; I feel comfortable and relaxed wearing this perfume.

To me, it’s the original J’Adore in a fruity, cheerful, and playful version. It’s a charming fragrance. You can detect the peach with a very subtle salty touch, and it has good longevity. If you like wearing the original J’Adore, then ‘In Joy’ will be ideal for those days when you want to enjoy life, make everything simpler and more fun. I love this perfume! – Perú Fashion Blogger.
