You Belong to Me Forever

For a long time, I have been planning to write a comment about this fragrance. But I never knew how to start. One wants to do justice to what it means to them (and to many others who have worn it early on and/or for many years). Even now, I don’t know, so I’ll start with the question marks in my head.

In the rounded bottle with the long golden neck is the almost clear juice. Many, many years ago, the same bottle stood in my mother's bathroom, and as a child, it was already a real eye-catcher. However, I could never remember the scent itself and how my mother smelled with it.
I also don’t remember exactly how it came to be that I eventually tested it. I believe it was during the phase when I wanted to sniff the old classics. Hardly any made it into my heart.
J'adore, however, hit me twice and three times as hard, so much so that it even became my signature scent.

Now, of course, to the scent itself:
The scent progression is really minimal.
It is floral and fresh from the very beginning. A delicate rose and the wonderful jasmine dominate. It may become a bit softer and deeper over time, but as I said, it doesn’t change much on my skin. But I find that, as you can probably guess, not at all bad.
This fresh floral quality, in my opinion, simply works all the time. 24/7/365
For every occasion, with every piece of clothing.

On me, it lasts all day, but it becomes more intimate as the day goes on.
The sillage is fine; some noses perceive it from a distance, while others need to come closer to clearly notice that someone is wearing a perfume. But even despite a mask, many can smell it well. Either way, as soon as it is noticed, it is a real compliment magnet. At least it is received very well on my skin and thus ranks among the top 3 fragrances with which I have received the most compliments. Mainly from the male gender.

It has now been in my collection for 2 years. By now, I have almost emptied 2 bottles, and a backup is already ready. One thing is for sure, I want to keep it forever. Because I often have the desire to wear it and smell it, which I rarely have with a fragrance.
I could rave about it forever.
But even now, I feel that my comment hasn’t done it justice.
I definitely want to never miss it again!! Thank you, Dior, for this beautiful fragrance. I will always honor it.
