J’adore Absolu

J’adore Absolu is the eau de parfum absolue Dior launched within the J’adore line in October 2018.

In October 2018, Dior launched J’adore Absolu, a new interpretation of the floral Calice Becker had composed in 1999. François Demachy, then the house’s perfumer-creator, presents it as an ode to flower absolutes, materials that in his view demand great precision.

Grasse jasmine above all

The house built the perfume around Grasse jasmine, a capricious beauty picked at the precise moment when, drenched in sunlight, it releases its most sensual accents. Demachy says he wanted the jasmine to shine with all its intensity, animalic, fruity and sunny.

Swathed in honeyed notes of orange blossom and rose, the jasmine takes on, in his words, lusher accents, closer to a nectar. Dior speaks of a floral nectar in which the flowers have the sweetness of a syrup.

A name already worn

The name echoes that of J’adore L’Absolu, the more intense variation Demachy had signed in 2007 around flower absolutes. Dior presents the 2018 version as a new floral nectar, centered on jasmine, under a shortened title.

What critics say

Nicholas (eauxSILLAGE) smells a white floral without fruit or greenery, dominated by a humid magnolia: stunning in his eyes, but barely recognizable as a J’adore.

The advertising

Romain Gavras, 2018

Charlize Theron emerges from a golden hammam in Romain Gavras’s film, set to Kanye West’s Flashing Lights, for the 2018 launch.

The launch of J’adore Absolu came with a film directed by Romain Gavras in October 2018, starring Charlize Theron, face of J’adore since 2004. The setting is a Turkish-inspired hammam, all in gold, where the actress emerges from a golden pool, surrounded by other women.

The soundtrack uses Kanye West’s Flashing Lights. Dior presents the film as an ode to women, stronger together; the golden pool recalls the first J’adore campaigns, in which Carmen Kass already emerged from a bath of gold.
