Bazar
by Christian Lacroix
Bazar by Christian Lacroix is a distinctive and vibrant floral-green fragrance with a sharp, peppery opening dominated by nectarine, orange blossom, and cassia. It unfolds with a juicy, citrus-floral heart of peach, frangipani, and hibiscus, balanced by a skin-friendly, warm base of musk, amber, and guaiac wood, resulting in a fresh yet softly powdery drydown. The scent carries a unique vegetal-green note reminiscent of fresh herbs or even carrot leaves, giving it an unusual, intimate character without being overwhelming. It performs best on warm days, particularly in spring and summer, and is ideal for casual outings or daytime wear due to its light sillage and moderate longevity. The fragrance strikes a careful balance between sweetness, spice, and green freshness, making it both cheerful and quietly evocative — a true individualist in the perfume world.
