The music superstar is the face and muse of the new fragrance.
Dior launched J’adore Intense in 2026, with Rihanna serving as the global muse and face of the fragrance. Created by Francis Kurkdjian, the new perfume is a warmer, richer and more voluptuous interpretation of the iconic J’adore floral bouquet.
Kurkdjian developed the composition around a honeyed floral concept, bringing together jasmine, rose and ylang-ylang, with fruity apricot accents and a creamy base of sandalwood and vanilla.
