Rihanna has been unveiled as the new face of Dior's iconic 'J’Adore perfume,' embodying an aura of elegance and sophistication. The setting for this campaign is the opulent 'Hall of Mirrors' at Versailles, enhancing the luminous atmosphere surrounding her and encapsulating the dominant theme of gold that's iconic of the fragrance and the palace.
The latest iteration of the J’Adore fragrance, L’Or de J’Adore, is crafted by renowned Armenian perfumer Francis Kurkdjian, who joined Dior as the perfume creation director in 2021. Kurkdjian describes the scent as evoking "sunshine hitting the curve of a shoulder in a blooming park, with a bouquet of jasmine, rose, ylang-ylang, lily of the valley, and violet." This campaign continues the 25-year legacy of J’Adore, following in the footsteps of previous ambassadors Carmen Kass and Charlize Theron, who have both epitomized the luxurious essence of this timeless fragrance.
