Au Hasard

This is the masterpiece of the men's line thus far. I have never smelled any fragrance like this before. Amazingly, I can pick up on every single note that Louis Vuitton lists. It's piercing and clean, but it also has a creaminess undergirding it. You probably think you know how that smells, but you really don't in this case. Most piercing and clean fragrances that pack a punch employ oud or vetiver; I'm talking about familiar greats such as Acqua di Parma Colonia Oud and Tom Ford Grey Vetiver EDP. But this fragrance has neither oud nor vetiver. Instead, it's piercing cleanliness comes from a combination of petitgrain, ambrette, and sour yet tamed sandalwood. Cardamom provides the beautiful creaminess in the background that helps to tame the sandalwood, and a clean musk can definitely be sensed once this starts to become a skin scent. This fragrance is absolutely, unquestionably beastly in both performance and longevity, yet it can also easily be worn on the hottest days of summer if you control your sprays. In fact, I think that this scent is more suited to warmer weather than it is to the cold, just like the Acqua di Parma and Tom Ford I mentioned earlier. I keep on bringing up the AdP and Tom Ford because this fragrance seems to be in the same category as them, yet it stands head and shoulders above them due to its incredible uniqueness and modernity. The AdP could be seen as too polarizing and foreign to average noses, the Tom Ford may make you smell like an old man in some people's opinions, but the Louis Vuitton has only garnered me incredibly positive feedback even from the most average and inexperienced noses. I knew I had to buy a bottle of this office-appropriate, year-round masterpiece as soon as I tried it on my skin. It transforms seemingly every few minutes and makes you smell like a modern maverick, a sophisticated and down to earth man of prestige, and a highly respected expert in whatever field you specialize in. I will never tire of it. It is a fragrance for life. PS, the packaging alone is incredible and something to truly appreciate and behold, at least if you buy a bottle on LV's website. I do not know what the in-store packaging entails

It was my first choice from the men line along with Nouvea Monde. There some fragrance a they smell like perfume but there some they smell like your second skin or let’s say your skin smells like that. Au Hasard is one of them. It is centered on sandalwood surrounded by cardamom and green notes along with musk. It is very good sandalwood based fragrance and I was thinking Tam Dao (EDP) and Amouage Honour was the best sandalwood based fragrances but this is way beyond them. Regarding the scent it is soft skin scent with very elegant touch. First soft musky airy and very subtle sweetness welcomes you and after that cardamom starts the show by giving fresh but not allowing muskiness to go away it continues like that until it leave the skin. For it is 100% Niche fragrance and it is extremely unique and I want everyone to associate me with this scent. The person wears this must solve all questions and hesitations within him/her (yes I think it is unisex). This can be worn perfectly buy a person who doesn’t like show off but know what to do and how to do in life. Performance wise I got 8 hours longevity which I found not enough (I wish it was longevity monster) for the price and regarding projection this is not a show off scent so projection is just perfect ( very well felt during close encounters) according to me 8.5/10

Alright. I blind purchased this based on notes from the site. I am no expert, just an idiot with a wallet. After receiving in the mail, I could tell from first spray that I loved this fragrance. Powdery and musky definitely line up. Au Hasard and Paco Rabanne million gold are in my top 2 most used fragrances, and they both have sandalwood in them (which may have something to do with it). Let me say that the sandalwood in this fragrance is definitely more tame, with the pear note coming in/covering it more. I just love this personally. It is not strong as the 1 Million, and really should not be compared with it outside of the small sandalwood similarities. I am okay with thinking I am noseblind to this one. I can smell it on clothes days later, but when wearing on skin it just kind of blends in. I am open to people not liking this, because I get it, but I will stand on my opinion that this is truly a unisex scent (which I don't say often). I think all fragrances should have some sort of consideration as a room spray, and this fits the bill too. It's great, and I may have to get another bottle since it is discontinued now.

i’m surprised people don’t like this as much as i do. “au hasard” can loosely be translated to “at random” or “randomly” which i think is a good way to describe this fragrance. it’s really just a bunch of random notes thrown together to create a pleasant, sort of clean, musky scent. i wouldn’t say it *smells* like santal 33, but the heavy emphasis on musk and leather is very le labo-esque. if you do like le labo, you’ll definitely like this as it’s a cleaner, more mass-appealing take on le labo’s style. perhaps a little overpriced, but there’s not really anything else like it so i’ll probably buy a full bottle in the future. it’s a really solid choice for an everyday office scent imo

Love this scent. Smells fantastic and unique. Super clean, fresh and spicy, it's really powdery and leathery with a citrus touch and i do pick up the pear and definitely the musks once it reaches the dry down. Performance is great with strong projection, i get around 10 hours of longevity. This does share similarities to Santal 33 By Le Labo but i honestly think this is better and more appealing. On the other hand we have got Dunhill Century, also similar but nowhere near as smooth and high quality as Au Hasard, i was so excited when i got Dunhill Century but i ended up selling it, it's just not as good and in my opinion not wearable, there is something off about it.
