product description
In 1944, Robert Piguet created a daring couture collection, which was based on a “Bad Boy” concept. Just at the end of the second World War, Piguet’s shows featured models sporting villain masks and brandishing toy revolvers and swords. The scent accompanying this air of avant-garde mischief was Bandit, a composition created by perfume icon, Germaine Cellier, renowned for her bold and distinctive creations. Bandit is a renowned classic. Cellier used dark notes of leather, the greenness of moss and smoky woods, to give the scent its rich and unforgettable character. Accented with verdant galbanum and hints of orange-blossom, Bandit is certainly the “enfant terrible” of the Piguet fragrance collection. Jasmine and patchouli lend an exotic twist while leather and oak moss provide a thorny crown. Bandit is a fragrance composition light years ahead of its time — a perfumer’s perfume."

Unique, totally love reminds me of Shunkion by Xerjoff a bit . This is soapy spicy flowers , .. let it macerate . lasts all day , gets richer

This is the greatest perfume of all time. For those who get it, nothing else compares. It has edge. It has depth. It is equally cerebral and sensual. Lasts all day. Could be twice as expensive.

Bandit is BACK! The current EdT is a re-release of the ORIGINAL formula and I can detect almost zero changes... it's still a powerful, gorgeous leather that performs well in all occasions and seasons! A must-own for Piguet fans.

Bandit has changed. The current eau de parfum formulation is NOT as strong as the original eau de toilette concentration. There is also that unique "tar and leather" note missing. It's just not the same. Yes, it smells like Bandit, but without that mysterious note that made it what it was and also made it last all day. The current version is not a powerhouse like the original, but a tamed down version that will give you an hour or so of longevity, and it's definitely NOT the sillage monster that the original Bandit EDT was. I think I'll pass on this one. Just another classic that was screwed with and destroyed, to never come back. It seems like this younger generation is making their way into companies and screwing around with the vintage formulations to make it more pleasant for them, NOT for the long-time fans of Bandit. Leave good enough alone!

The current eau de parfum is NOT, let me stress NOT, as strong as the original eau de toilette. The original vintage eau de toilette seemed to be much stronger than the current eau de parfum, and the EDT lasted ALL DAY. The current EDP formulation is not a projection powerhouse like the original EDT, even though it claims to be an EDP concentration. I purchased the new EDP concentration, however, will have to reapply throughout the day to continue to smell it. Also of note, it seems that the underlying "tar" note has been tamped way down, making this newer version nothing like the magnificent original. That is what I loved about the original, that smoky "tar" note that made the fragrance unique. I think in the future I'll just try to track down the vintage eau de toilette on e-Bay. I suppose the current version will do for those who are unfamiliar with the vintage eau de toilette version of Bandit by Robert Piguet. I still do love it though, both vintage and reformulated. Hopefully, the perfumers at Piguet will relaunch the original vintage eau de toilette in all its chypre glory, either as the original powerhouse version or as a pure perfume. Let's keep our fingers crossed and hope they get the message. However, if Piguet's operations have been taken over by a bunch of "youngsters," I doubt there will be little chance of that happening. Oh, where have true fragrance lovers/perfumers gone??? IFRA's new guidelines also suck, and because of that, gone are some true classics!
