They could just have poured it in a new bottle, done some marketing and called it something else. <br /><br />Can't understand why those who have used it forever don't complain. What about Charlice Throne, does she knows about the ugly recent reformulations?<br />Sexy Sadiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08132661910830426410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-53401657815184282892015-11-09T09:27:39.073+00:002015-11-09T09:27:39.073+00:00That's wonderful Ellina!

Still the original formulation is worthwhile. Dense and round. I'm very happy the Touche de Parfum replicates that feeling.

She smelled pleasant but too floral and somehow shrill, and I asked what it was, to get the name "j' adore". Years went by, and I didn't care for fruity florals at all. The fact that j' adore was worn by so many women didn't make it very appealing either.

I've suspected this for quite a while. I started wearing J'adore sometime around 2003 - 2005 and I haven't had the same love for it ever since. Do you happen to have the same information about identifying the packaging per year or per reformulation as you do with the Miss Cherie? I'm now on the hunt for 10 year old perfume!!

Plus, it's a bit... beige for my taste. Oatmeal, if you will. I always seem to forget what it smells like. And yet I bet it's *because* of that blank canvassy quality that it's become such a commercial success.
