J'adore Voile de Parfum

J’adore Voile de Parfum is the eau de toilette Dior added to the J’adore line in the spring of 2013. François Demachy brings in Tuscan iris, which opens the composition, ahead of Damascena rose and a base of white musks: a powdery floral the house wanted as light as a veil. It keeps the J’adore amphora, with a pinker juice.

Dior describes a composition in three movements. A Tuscan iris, which the house calls majestic and refined, opens the perfume and gives the J’adore bouquet a new facet. Damascena rose forms the second movement, with a luminous sensuality.

White musks form the base. The house credits them with a cotton effect, powdery and immaculate, which gives the perfume its carnal density and its enveloping softness.

The materials

Dior ranks iris absolute among the treasures of the perfumer’s palette: the rhizome dries for at least three years before a long and delicate extraction. Its powdery scent, with green and woody accents, evokes warm bread.

Damascena rose comes from Turkey and Bulgaria; the house uses it as an essence or an absolute.

Another order of notes

Outside France, the perfume was also presented with its first two movements reversed: Damask rose at the top, Tuscan iris second, with white musks at the base.
