Leather chypres
12 years ago 1
I thought it might be interesting to have a list of leather chypres, no matter if masculine of feminine, classic or modern. I shall start with
"Bandit"
"Miss Balmain"
"Bel Ami" (well, chypre?)
"Arsène Lupin"
"Chamade Homme" (not much leather though)
"Équpage" (not heavy on leather either)
2nd question - maybe worth another thread?
I've just been sniffing "Bandit" on one wrist and "Miss Balmain" on the other and found them to have lots of similarities. Then looked them up and found that the nose was Cellier in both. To me, Bandit has a strange capsicum note in the beginning (first half an hour or so), which I do not particularly like, and seems rougher and more masculine, while Miss Balmain starts out slightly softer, sweeter, more powdery. After one or two hours I find Bandit a bit smoother and more "pleasing", strange thing. Would be interesting to have your opinion on these two.
