J'adore (pronounced [ʒ‿adɔʁ]; French for "I love", and a pun on the brand Dior)[1] is a perfume for women that was created in 1999 by French master perfumer Calice Becker for Parfums Christian Dior,[2] with a distinct tear-drop bottle shape designed by Hervé Van der Straeten.[3] Actress Charlize Theron has been the face of the brand since its launch.[4] Some perfume critics have detected a change in the recipe since the 1999 launch.[5][6]
