Hasard Bazar

I purchased a discovery set and I am very impressed with all scents I've tried so far from this brand, to the point I am planning to get a bottle of each fragrance. The discovery set has the most memorable, original, fun and creative packaging I have seen so far - a fabric bag with spray samples wrapped in colorful paper with scent description and notes, that look like Christmas crackers or wrapped candies. The scent itself was an immediate like for me. Very wearable, pleasant and suitable for colder days. It's an "easy reach" type of scent. Perfect combination of sweet, warm, cozy, yet light, with just a perfect amount of spiciness and powderiness. Nothing heavy or overpowering. You don't have to be scared of patchouli here. You probably won't offend anyone with this scent. After an entire day of wearing this scent, I am not tired of this scent and I still find it very pleasant. Wearable to work and for casual occasions. Great for day and night. It reminds me a little of Fresh Cream Warm Cashmere by Philosophy, but lighter, less sweet and fresher. Love the design of the bottles. This scent is an easy 5/5 for me.

Lovely cosy autumn-winter scent! A great mix of spices - I can definitely think of this as a scarf perfume - spray it on a scarf, then snuggle in it. :)

Mr Freeze ice pops. The yellow, green or white one, I can’t remember. It’s one of those popsicles in long plastic wrappers that cuts your mouth when you’re fanatically trying to get that last drop of juice out of the plastic. Shockingly to me there is no citrus to be found in this scent, but I am not sure. Is it the fruitchouli? The fragrance itself is fresh and clean, and reminds me of something that I cannot put my finger on (other than the Mr. Freeze reference). I love that sweet, salty spicy pepper in the top, and it actually perfectly complimented by the rose and vanilla. And mind you, I am usually a rose-hater. Though, the rose is very gentle, and it is mostly the sweet musk, and pepper that help the patchouli shine. The vanilla is detectable as well, but it takes a step back and doesn’t really shine until the final drydown. When that final drydown comes and the vanilla shines through it turns into one of those waxy vanillas like ‘Vanille 44’ by Le Labo, and ‘Arthur’ from Penhaligons. Not my favourite scent profiles but they are bearable. In general, I will say that I think this is an exciting fragrance with some very nice aspects. It is perfectly unisex, and it is both light and dark and mysterious at the same time. A lot of mesmerizing layers even though it is pretty simple and straight-forward.

One simply can't see these creations and not be charmed. The bottles are creative, cute and often whimsical. I've tried all of them and my favourites are Nature Insolente, Bain de Midi and this one. Hasard Bazar smells very much like Glossier's you, they definitely falls into the same genre. It's those musky, dry pencil shavings with a pinch of pepper, which I really find pleasing and non-offensive. I can't pick up any vanilla what so ever here though. I kept waiting for it during the dry down because it really would tie the perfume together to make it a bit more complex, but nope. It is very linear. And sadly it's a faint skin scent, don't expect longevity from this brand. They're marketed as edP but performs like a weak edT. The only one that I could smell 4 hours later was Bain de Midi.

Powdery musky vanilla with a hint of spice, a very nice skin scent, but not the strong spicy I was hoping to find, instead I can find I spray this 5 times and its still not at all overpowering. However it also doesn't last particularly long, but for the price its a lovely skin scent that you can afford to reapply.
