Bandit (for women)
Designer: Robert Piguet Olfactive Group: Chypre LeatherBandit is the most daring in the whole line of perfumes like Caron Tabac Blond and Chanel Cuir de Russie, perfumes for an emancipated woman on the turn of the last century; for a woman who dares to smoke in the public. Bandit was made for the avantgarde Robert Piguet's collection, inspired by romantic sea voyages and pirates. Bandit is a classic "chypre" with dark animal notes and aggressive leather accord. In 1999, after 25 years, production of Bandit started again. Eau de toilette has the greatest sharpness. In the perfume version, leather and smoke notes are followed by clear notes of white flowers and vetiver. Bandit was launched in 1999. The nose behind this fragrance is Germaine Cellier.

I would really love to wear this fragrance, but it seems to me that the only time it would be suitable for is horse ride thought fields in the end of the summer, when grass is high and brown and nature seems tired of hot summer sun.

Wow... newgabe's description is... interesting and... original. Sounds like a good scent; hope to try it soon.

Bandit remains one of the most original perfumes in the world. It is extremely strong, bitter, leathery - would also make a great masculine, by the way - and it takes a lot of guts to wear it, because it is so utterly devoid of romanticism and "Kitsch". I would call it a perfume for the intrepid, for people with style and a discerning taste. It is a marvel and one of the best fragrances in the world.

There are apparently MANY different formulations of Bandit -- the eau de toilette (EdT) and the eau de parfum (EdP) being among them. I don't know which one I tried as it was a sample from a fellow perfume fanatic. I think it was the EdT, but I'm not sure. Anyway, from others' reviews, I expected this one to stink. But it didn't really. At least, not as bad as the opening of Dzing! The opening is very bergamot and galbanum. But that fades within an hour or so, and becomes LEATHER. LEATHER and something sweet. Like flowers or candied apples! And it stayed that way all. day. long. From about 8:00 AM to now (midnight). Long lasting and leathery. It's marketed for "women" but surely men can wear this one too! I am told that the EdP is less leathery and more subtle and flowery. So be aware, if you don't like one formulation, you might like another.

Wearing Bandit is an event in itself. There is simply no escaping it. Even one spritz starts aggressively strong, pungent and seriously leathery- but does not turn my stomach like Cuir de Russie. It stays true for many many hours then wears down as if it is part of the skin itself. It's incredibly sexy- like a half wild whore who has ridden from her last job on a powerful horse! Couldn't be more different to the shallow world of fruity pop celebrity perfumes!

A bottle of this will be arriving soon so I will post a review when I have tried this one. I am looking forward to something strong and strange a I am a lover of dark notes like Cabochard and Bulgari Black. But I don't like Chanel Cuir de Russe. SO it will be interesting to see what this 'leather' is like...
