I do love this scent, but it's a rehash. Might as well just get the original J'adore. I don't give it three stars because it stinks or anything, but I give it three stars for selling a scent that's...

I actually love the scent of this perfume. But after about 2-3 hours of wearing it, the scent became stale. I'm not sure whether it's just me, but that's what I got. It's funny because when I...

So, I have yet another ladies fragrance review from Christian Dior today. This is one that I forgot that I had a sample of and never got around to doing a write up about it, it’s name: J’adore L’absolu. Yes, the folks over at Dior really like to use the same names for their scents over and over again…gotta confuse the customers, right babe? Anyway, as usual, I have worn and gone over different aspects of this fragrance below so please continue on for my full take.

My Full Wear Review

Dior fragrances can be a pain to keep track of, as the brand always seems to come out with different flankers, and variations of fragrances either under the same or very similar names.

J’adore L’absolu is one such perfume and there appears to be at least 2 variations of this scent, I believe I have the latest one and this will be the subject of this review. Here’s how the sample insert describes it:

An intense Eau de Parfum which blends absolutes of Damascus rose, rose de Mai, Jasmine Sambac, and Indian Tuberose to reveal the heart of each flower.

From that alone, you should be able to tell that J’adore L’absolu is a floral lovers dream. Now, I’ve already reviewed the original J’adore EDP, and when compared to this one they are quite different. The original is more complex and has the additional fruit notes, which set it apart.

L’absolu doesn’t have that aspect to it. It instead opens up with a beautiful and rich jasmine note with an undercurrent of the rose notes which will fully emerge later in the wear.

It smells elegant and classy, like a bright spring day at some French chateau. The jasmine lends a creaminess to the perfume and while clean, it doesn’t smell like soap to my nose.

I do like that it’s not just a complete shampoo or body wash smell, but it’s hard not to think of that comparison sometimes with these types of perfumes. Since the notes are so often used in those sorts of products.

As it dries down, the tuberose note and the rose begin to become more prominent. The rose notes never get too strong or feel as if they are going to overpower the composition.

Each note has its turn in the spotlight, before they all sort of meld together to create a bouquet effect.


Sillage, Longevity, and Versatility

Projection wise, I’d say that the sillage of L’absolu is pretty average. It’s not a bomb but not weak either.

I’d say you get about an hour or two of a robust scent trail. Then, it’s going to stick within a few feet of the wearer. Not a super projector, while being solidly above average.

It’s got decent longevity but not amazing, somewhere in the 6-8 range is what it lasted on my skin. Very usable, close to a full workday. After a few tests, that’s what it seems capable of.

The performance on the whole, is better than the median average of perfumes. Just towards the upper end of the middle of the pack.

This is another spring/summer scent. It doesn’t strike me as sexy, but more refined and beautiful to be around. It can be worn casually or dressed up, as it has an air of sophistication about it.

With a scent like this, it’s going to be a versatile wear. Not one that is going to annoy or be an intimidating type of fragrance.

So, work or just as a daily wear. A nice springtime aroma, that can fit a lot of different moods or scenarios.


Overall Impressions of L’absolu

Overall, do I like J’adore l’absolu. Yes, at least somewhat. I don’t really enjoy smelling pure floral perfumes, which is what I liked about Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet, and it’s additional citrus notes.

However, the floral notes in here are extremely good, and don’t have any sense of being synthetic. It is a pretty straightforward scent, look at the notes, and if you like the way those flowers smell…then you’ll like this perfume.

This does bare some resemblance to Gabrielle Essence by Chanel, but the blend is for sure different. The notes don’t have the same weighting.

If you’re not someone who likes to wear flowery perfumes, then stay away from this one. The jasmine is probably the highlight for me.
