Jean-Michel Othoniel brings you "L'Or de J'adore", a piece that orchestrates a relationship between the artist and the iconic Dior fragrance. Inspired by the glass curves of the amphora, he imagined flower-like case to house the 1st J'adore fragrance by Francis Kurkdjian. Imbued with all the magic of the epic sculptures by Jean-Michel Othoniel, this bronze rose is a brilliant incarnation of Francis Kurkdjian's composition. The beaded petals form a hyperbolic flower. Made using the traditional jewelry-making technique of lost-wax casting, it is then hand-polished before being dipped in liquid gold. Balanced on top, almost weightless upon this blooming flower, is the J'adore l'Or bottle with a figure 8 silhouette: the artist adorned its cap with a cloak of liquid gold that wraps itself around the glass pearl and unfurls around the bottle's crystal curves. "L'Or de J'adore" by Jean-Michel Othoniel is produced in a limited series of 100 numbered pieces, available in select Dior boutiques.
The artist
J’adore X Jean-Michel Othoniel
"For this creation, I carefully observed the composition and architecture of a rose, a flower I particularly adore. Then I wound the beads around the bottle in a dance of vital energy. Finally, I imagined the gold coming to adorn the amphora like a precious cloth while resting on the glass pearl like a delicate petal." Jean-Michel Othoniel.
The fragrance
A flower-like case to house the floral trail of L’Or de J’adore
The L'Or de J'adore (2023) bottle by Jean-Michel Othoniel creates a new dialogue between the artist and the iconic Dior perfume for women. Jean-Michel Othoniel imagined a flower-like case to house the floral perfume trail of J'adore l'Or, the first creation signed by Francis Kurkdjian's for the House.
Jean-Michel Othoniel's aerial rose-écrin is a marvelous miniature work of art, signed and numbered. The pearls adorning this jewel of precision are cast in bronze using the lost-wax technique and hand-polished one by one, before being dipped in a gold bath.
