J'adore l'Or

Published September 27, 2026

J’adore l’Or is the perfume essence of the J’adore line. Created in 2010 by François Demachy around jasmine and rose absolutes from Grasse, it was recomposed in 2023 by Francis Kurkdjian, who renamed it L’Or de J’adore and tightened the bouquet around three absolutes: orange blossom, jasmine grandiflorum, and centifolia rose.

Rachel K. Ng (ÇaFleurBon) praised in January 2024 the clarity Francis Kurkdjian brings to the bouquet, an expressive, coherent jasmine carried by a golden aura; Ermano Picco and Michelyn Camen named it best designer perfume of 2023.

What critics say

Rachel K. Ng, ÇaFleurBon

In January 2024, Rachel K. Ng describes Francis Kurkdjian’s hallmark as an ability to streamline and articulate, which gives the fragrance a new clarity. Her first impression is a beautifully expressive jasmine, whose fluency and coherence float around her.

She finds the voluptuousness of the materials legible and precise, like Doric columns, and reads in the fragrance’s golden aura an Apollonian light made of harmony, clarity, and logic. Ermano Picco and Michelyn Camen, of the same site, named it best designer perfume of 2023.
