[Dior](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dior-addict-glow) created an oil-based fragrance version of its J’adore Touche de Parfum that releases a distinct scent when touched by human hands. The chemical reaction of the oil-based perfume and human skin unveils a unique scent that is specific to each person.

The release of this divine, oil-based fragrance elevates the entire experience of wearing a perfume. The intoxicating aroma is a combination of floral and sweet notes. The application process is also unique because instead of spraying the perfume, it is [dabbed onto the skin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-anywhere-fragrance-by-noyz). If the wearer chooses to massage the fragrance into their skin, the aroma will be released and is otherwise absorbed until touched at a later time.

This female-oriented perfume is a playful and exotic fragrance experience that is more experiential than most on the market.
