“Fragrance is the essential compliment to the feminine personality. It is the finishing touch to a dress.”
—Christian Dior
How can one go about selecting a scent? If not for oneself, then perhaps as a gift for others?
Either way, it’s not an easy task, with the vast array of twinkling bottles lying-in-wait to catch your eye at every corner of the beauty hall. Before being drawn-in by the olfactive quality of a fragrance, as a consumer we are first lured by both its color and silhouette. Whether glass-blown or gilt, the bottle’s architecture, how it feels to hold, and even the weight of the cap are important factors that come into play.
Enter the latest fragrance by Dior: J’adore l’Or—and instantly recognizable as part of the family of its predecessors featuring the long-necked glass bottle dressed with signature golden rings at the neck. The iconic shape of the bottle means this potion can be identified by touch alone. For avid fans of the fragrance, it now exists in a Prestige Edition (as featured in the video), sculpted in Baccarat crystal with woven gold chains (akin to a necklace) complete with a hand-engraved stopper—a lavish finishing touch.
Now, the question remains, how do you like the scent?
