Christian Dior has launched Le Nectar de J'Adore, a new limited edition luxury version of 1999's J'Adore fragrance for women, in a one-of-a-kind bottle designed by Marc Quinn.
In pursuit of striking aesthetic innovations for its exceptional bottles, Dior Parfums invited renowned artist Marc Quinn to reinterpret the iconic J'adore amphora. This creative collaboration resulted in a unique masterpiece: a hypnotic work wrought from lustrous gold and silver that celebrates the passion for flowers and gardens shared by both Quinn and Dior. The spectacular creation places the J'adore amphora at the heart of a gleaming orchid sculpted from steel, where it nestles like a glass and gold pistil. Within this botanical reimagining, the amphora becomes flower nectar, its iconic elongated cap meticulously hand-gilded with gold leaf.
In this exclusive version of J'adore, the magnificent floral heart has been enhanced with absolutes of centifolia rose and jasmine grandiflorum. Enriched with a Grasse tuberose pomade—created using an ancestral enfleurage technique—the fragrance celebrates the radiant, round and sensual notes of this captivating flower.
Christian Dior Le Nectar de J'Adore is available in 200 ml Extrait. (If you have to ask...)

I’m not usually taken with these luxury bottle editions, but the design of this one is strikingly beautiful, and I like the whole conception of the small precious bottle as the pistil of flower.
If the Sauvage is $16000+ and then for this one they don’t even list the price, I shudder to think…but yes, it is a cool presentation.
An orchid? That seems more befitting Guerlain. Surely a flower whose note is represented in J’adore would’ve made more sense.
Not sure it needs to make sense.
I’m sure it makes as much sense as the price they’re asking for it.
Exactly right.
