J'adore L'Or Dior 2023

I was in town the other day and I smelled this fragrance on a lady. Catchy but simple jasmine, beautifully bright and intense.
Then the search began. I tested everything and asked sales assistants how many times.
But no fragrance came close to the jasmine scent I smelled.
Even at home, I sprayed a few little-used jasmine fragrances again, hoping that it might have been lost in my collection or that I might have something similar. But no...no Fragonard jasmine was even remotely similar.
At Galeria, a saleswoman sprayed the jasmine fragrance from Gucci Flora on me and said it could only be that one, but no, it wasn't even remotely similar and I didn't want anything else.
I looked a bit more, but then checked off the search.

As I am absolutely addicted to J'adore fragrances anyway and have a tray of them in my bedroom and I always put one of them on when I want to smell seductive but not so heavily covered by perfume, I naturally ordered the new J'adore L'Or this week.

The price is steep, I realized, but I was lucky enough to get it for much less with a voucher. But it was still too expensive for a blind purchase, so I wanted to try it out in the city today. But the tester at Galeria was gone, the sales clerk said it had been stolen. So I went to Müller and sprayed it on there.
And before anyone complains about "buying online and testing in store", I've also bought a lot of perfumes at Müller, but they were 56 euros more expensive than online. That's a lot of money for me.

I have to say that I had sprayed Gucci Rush at home shortly before and it was very dominant on my wrist, but I found a spot and sprayed it straight into my hair. What can I say, after about a minute I realized that this was the jasmine scent I had been searching for without success. Well, the fragrance actually only smells of jasmine and every saleswoman would have to bring out exactly that if someone asked for it. The orange blossom is always there with Mr. Kurkdjian, but here it is only there to emphasize the jasmine. Rose may add a minimal soapy note, but I don't smell it explicitly. It also smells stronger than the Rush, which I also put on. After showering, without washing my hair, I only smell the gold scent. And tomorrow, when I pick up the package from the post office.

J'adore L'Or is far too strong and powerful to emphasize its own fragrance, and therefore not suitable as a skin scent like the much more delicate J'adore EDP, but it is perfect for going out and making an impression.
In my opinion, it is worth the price, because there is nothing comparable and also little so intense, which smells so beautiful and fresh after jasmine.

As life goes, it always ends up in my hands.
