Dior’s J’adore marks 25 years with Rihanna’s campaign and Francis Kurkdjian’s L’Or de J’adore fragrance, a radiant new scent that epitomises modern elegance and empowerment through its mix of sustainability and luxury
Celebrating 25 years of elegance and femininity, Dior’s iconic fragrance J’adore enters a bold new chapter with two remarkable evolutions: a striking new campaign and a refined olfactory reinvention. Distinct in their creative expressions, both are part of J’adore’s enduring legacy, brought to life by two cultural forces: global icon Rihanna and master perfumer Francis Kurkdjian.
In the latest campaign, Rihanna, the new face of J’adore, is captured through the lens of long-time collaborator Steven Klein. Set against the grandeur of Versailles, she walks the Hall of Mirrors in a shimmering gold gown designed by Maria Grazia Chiuri, embodying the spirit of J’adore—bold, elegant and unapologetically herself, representing the empowered femininity that Dior has celebrated for decades. Her role signals a new dawn for the brand, bringing a sense of individuality and modernity that speaks to women around the world, encouraging them to embrace their strength and authenticity.
While Rihanna redefines J’adore visually, Kurkdjian adds depth to the timeless fragrance with his latest creation, L’Or de J’adore. This new fragrance is not a replacement but a complement to the original J’adore. Renowned for his minimalist approach, Kurkdjian skilfully distilled the initial floral notes of rose and jasmine, creating a radiant, sensual fragrance that lingers on the skin like liquid gold.
