Christian Lacroix Bazar is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2002, created by Jean-Claude Ellena, Bertrand Duchaufour, and Émilie Coppermann. Bazar opens with Nectarine, Orange Blossom, Pepper, and Peach, settles into a heart of Hibiscus, Apricot Blossom, Jasmine, and Peony, and dries down to a base of Sycamore, Musk, Amber, and Sandalwood. Christian Lacroix's Bazar carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

This early 2000s floral fruity offers a unique peppery kick that sets it apart. While some find it a joyous, uplifting wear, others are put off by its surprising masculinity and strength. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but for those who get it, Bazar is a quirky, confident standout.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Bazar's strong projection and peppery accords make it less ideal for formal or intimate settings, but its fresh, clean character is well-suited for casual outings and even the office if applied sparingly. Several reviews highlight its suitability for daytime and urban spring activities.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Bazar opens with a zingy blast of peach and nectarine, brightened by orange blossom, quickly followed by a distinct pepper note providing a lively, almost spicy freshness. The heart blooms into a lush bouquet of frangipani, peony, and jasmine, hinting at apricot before settling into a warm, woody base of sandalwood, musk, and amber, softened by violet and orris for a sophisticated powderiness.
