What does Bazar smell like?

It opens bright with yuzu, apricot blossom and nectarine, a juicy citrus-and-fruit start. Frangipani and nasturtium in the heart add a floral, green side with a light spicy touch. In the base, gaiac wood, sycamore maple and iris settle the scent on a soft, woody ground, with the sweetness kept in the background.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and business settings lead. It mostly reads as feminine, then modern. Its profile is close to J.F. Schwarzlose Berlin 1A-33 and Jo Malone Yuzu Zest / Yuja.
