J'adore (pronounced [ʒadɔʁ]; French for "I love", and a pun on the brand Dior)[1] is a perfume for women that was created in 1999 by French master perfumer Calice Becker for Parfums Christian Dior,[2] with a distinct tear-drop bottle shape designed by Hervé Van der Straeten.[3] The first face of the brand was Estonian model Carmen Kass. Later she was replaced by Tiiu Kuik, and she was replaced by actress Charlize Theron from 2004 to 2024.[4][5] In June 2024, Barbadian singer and businesswoman Rihanna was announced as the new face of the perfume, replacing Theron after her 20 year run as the spokeswoman of the fragrance.[6] Some perfume critics have detected a change in the recipe since the 1999 launch.[7][8]
Dior has also released some flankers to J’Adore, such as J’Adore Eau Lumière in 2016.[9] That version featured notes of blood orange, rose and neroli.[9]
