J’adore Perfume For Women By Dior
Nov0
J’adore by Dior first came out in 1999. It’s an incredibly popular fragrance under the Dior brand for its beautifully coordinated floral notes. For the woman who wears it, J’adore radiates a polished look complemented by the opulent floral accords that make up this feminine fragrance. The opening is a balanced fusion between the fruit and floral notes. The same floral essence is carried out through the middle and base notes. There is no single note that stands out. The accords mingle so well creating one unique scent for all fruits and flowers combined.
The notes include magnolia, melon, peach, pear, bergamot, mandarin orange, tuberose, plum, violet, orchid, freesia, jasmine, lily of the valley, rose, musk, vanilla, cedar and blackberry. J’adore is a pleasant perfume on the overall. And though the notes boast a huge bouquet of flowers and a basket full of fruits, you wouldn’t get any of the horrid sugared sweetness of caramelized fruits and run of the mill flowers. In short, J’adore is a charming fragrance. It’s engaging, attractive and definitely feminine in every way.
Time may have passed by so quickly but J’adore remains one of the most popular scents amidst the many a number of fragrances in the perfumery today. Of late, Dior celebrated the 10th anniversary of J’adore. The floral-fruity perfume still is one of the best-selling fragrances in its collection.
Since its release a decade ago, J’adore has gone several transformations. A number of J’adore successors were launched in the past and the latest version is called J’adore L’eau Cologne. It’s another progeny of the floral-fruity fragrance but the fruit component is mellowed down. The notes are: lemon, citrus, bergamot, magnolia, neroli and ylang-ylang. This luxurious floral scent is fresher than the earlier flankers.
J’adore is acclaimed for its Greek amphora bottle and the golden juice inside it. The first fragrance was designed by perfumer Calice Becker. More of Dior’s J’adore at discount perfume online, scentiments.com.
Davidoff Men’s Cologne: Pure Masculinity
Sep1
The name Zino Davidoff is synonymous with two things: Cigars and Perfumes. Davidoff’s philosophy of the good life is conveyed in his fragrances. The collection of scents bespeaks worldly indulgence – Cool Water, Adventure, Silver Shadow, Good Life and Echo. Each scent is a reflection of sensuality, beauty and love for the finer things in life.
Cool Water Cologne for Men is one of the all time best selling men’s colognes. It’s very masculine and reminiscent of the ocean - fresh and breezy. This exquisite fragrance combines coriander, rosemary, sage and also accented with amber, oak moss and sandalwood. Cool Water is considered the classic masculine scent in Davidoff’s fragrance line. Even if it was introduced in the late 80’s, it still attracts quite a number of perfume fans today. One long-time Cool Water cologne user says, “My favorite men’s scent. I suppose it could come across as dated because it is one of the very first aquatic men’s fragrances and so many are now built along the same lines. It isn’t a huge statement maker and most wouldn’t use it as a signature scent because it’s fairly common so you’ll smell like a lot of other guys, but it’s clear and sexy and attractive without being an olfactive challenge. I love this on men. Elegant, clean and sure.”
Davidoff Adventure Cologne is a woody spice fragrance inspired by the untamed nature of the adventurous man. The freshness starts with a boost of mandarin orange, bergamot, lemon, green tea and black pepper. The heart features black sesame seeds and South American pimiento. The base is a smooth finish composed of Peruvian cedar, vetiver and musk. According to one perfume reviewer, Davidoff Adventure is reminiscent of D&G’s The One but the former is lighter and fresher,” Like many other members of forum about perfumes I found this one extremely similar to D&G The One, besides the launches were at the same time. In spite of that I have to say that Adventure is fresher and versatile, more fruity, you can use it anytime while I found The One hard to use in hot days.”
Echo is a rich, woody-spicy fragrance targeted towards a more mature market. It’s composed of aquatic notes, aldehydes, white suede, chili, musk, cedar wood and black pepper. This aquatic-ozonic-metallic fragrance evokes an edgy attitude, sensual and full of manly character. Like the other Davidoff colognes, Echo emanates a crisp and clean feel. One fan described it as a wearable perfume; it fits any occasion, be it formal or informal. One striking feature of the Echo Cologne is its bottle – the design is contemporary, attractive and could pass as a nice piece of urban architecture.
Silver Shadow is an intense oriental-woody fragrance that combines zesty and warm accords of amber, oak moss, saffron, patchouli, orange, coriander and cedar leaves. This scent is arid on the dry down with above-average longevity. It’s a nice everyday fragrance and even more attractive when worn on special evenings.
Davidoff’s suite of men’s colognes have season-specific flankers and some versions are reinvented to create a watered down or a more intense version of the original. More of Davidoff Colognes for Men at scentiments.com
