DiorJ'adore Eau de Parfum

Worn this for YEARS!!! Love it!

This review is not against the original, authentic J'adore Eau De Parfum. That fragrance is amazing and my favorite. I have worn it on and off for at least 15-20 years. I normally buy it from my favorite department store, but my husband and I were in Ulta shopping for something else. We were on our 25th anniversary get away in Florence, South Carolina. He saw the J'adore and told me to get the largest bottle, because he knows it is my favorite fragrance to wear. It has been a couple of years since I have worn this particular frageance, so I was super excited to get back to our hotel so I could open the box and wear some. I knew something was off just looking at the bottle straight from the box. The liquid was a pale pink in color. If you know the original J'adore Eau De Parfum, you know that it is not pinkish at all! It is almost a clear, light champagne color. I sprayed some on me, and my suspicions were confirmed. It was not an authentic J'adore fragrance. It had a weird, alcohol smell initially, with only a hint of the fragrance. Also, the smell was gone after anout 15 minutes. Again, if you know the authentic J'adore Eau De Parfum, then you know how wonderful the smell is right away and it literally lasts all day!! I was so disappointed. I decided to keep that bottle and make the exchange when we got back to our hometown in Greenville, South Carolina. Maybe the store in Florence just received a bad shipment. Before I exchanged that bottle in Greenville, I stopped by the department store where I normally buy J'adore, to compare the bottle I had. My suspicions were further confirmed. The bottle from Ulta did not match the bottle from the department store. After that, I went to the Ulta in Greenville. The associate was very professional and helpful. She was also in agreement with me, after comparing the bottle I had with the tester bottle on her shelf, that the bottle of J'adore I had purchased in Florence was not authentic. She gladly allowed me to exchage the bottle I had for a bottle from her store. After the transaction, I asked if I could open the box from the Greenville store just to be sure. She allowed me to do so. To our surprise, it was the exact same as the bottle I purchased in Florence. I received a refund. I have been an Ulta customer for a long time. I now worry that other products on their shelf are not authentic. I would consider continuing to be their customer of all products, if they could provide me with an authentic bottle of this fragrance.

I ended up giving it to my grandma

I love this fragrance. It has a soft fragrance and not offensive.
