“I sell exclusively to them,” Archer says, picking the last of the flowers from a monthlong harvest. Courtesy of Parfums Christian DiorĪbout 600 miles south of Paris, in the lush hillside just outside of Cap d’Antibes, Christelle Archer-a sales director turned flower farmer-tends to a 100-year-old bitter orange tree grove as part of an effort to increase transparency and focus on local growers for proprietary ingredients, Dior partnered with Archer in 2017 and began using her neroli oil last year. The original J’adore bottle has been reimagined in opalescent white glass for the neroli-tinged Parfum d’eau. Now, almost 25 years later, the fragrance that helped change the perfume industry is poised for another dose of disruption.
“When John started, he didn’t speak French, so he would just say, ‘Oh, J’adore, j’adore, j’adore!’ when he liked something,” Bourdelier recalls. “Galliano was integral to the creation of J’adore,” Bourdelier says of the white-floral fragrance, which began production in 1996, the same year the British-born couturier took over design duty. One of John Galliano’s Maasai-style gold chokers from fall 1997, the inspiration for the fragrance’s gold-wire-wrapped flacon, is displayed close by. That’s the exact temperature needed to preserve the brand’s first suite of refillable lipsticks (from 1953) the first production run of its cult-favorite cuticle savior, Creme Abricot (1962) and different iterations of the iconic J’adore bottle, derived from Monsieur Dior’s 1949 cyclone dress and rendered here in glass prototypes with factory-cut Baccarat necks. It’s 18 degrees Celsius, about 65 degrees Fahrenheit, Frederic Bourdelier, director of brand culture and heritage at Parfums Christian Dior, confirms.
