What can we say about the legendary Bandit? Bandit is a bitter green leather chypre- full of contrasts. Ever since it was created in 1944 for Robert Piguet, this perfume has become an iconic cult classic.
Robert Piguet had created a daring 'Bad Boy' inspired fashion collection. During the fashion shows, at the end of the Second World War, the models wore masks and and waved with toy revolvers and swords. The scent that accompanied this spectacle was Bandit. The perfumer that created Bandit is Germaine Cellier who is an icon herself, having created the legendary Fracas for Robert Piguet. Her creation style is bold and daring. Smokey, green, floral, animalic and a tad soapy: Bandit is a leather perfume that was way ahead of its time.
The new Bandit in 2023 is created by Calice Becker and is even closer to the original in terms of scent experience than the previous Bandit reformulation.
