I would recommend J'Adore as an ideal gift for a young person, especially as a first perfume. The well balanced floral notes are clean and uncomplicated and mildly appealing, without being overstated. For real perfume lovers though, it may lack the "something special" factor. I personally find it a little over-sweet and sickening, even after it dries down. All in all it has distinctive packaging, and quality of essence makes for another Dior classic.

This is a very strong-smelling woody-but-floral perfume from Christian Dior which is not as distinctive as some might expect. It is a feminine fragrance which wearers will either love or hate with not much ground in-between. Try it and decide for yourself!
