Hidden Trail Bandit
Darkness spreads
Only streetlights flicker tired
Dead silence in the small town
The bandit creeps quietly away
Into deserted green-mossy valleys
It's cold
His leather cloak warms
Dark clouds are drifting
Soft neroli rain
Pattering on his narrow face
Galbanum walls the quiet fear within him
The moss-covered lake breathes tuberoses
Slowly the haze rises
Becomes one with nature
A long day lies behind the bandit
For over 10 hours he was on his feet
His steps are heavy, but silent
Not a daily routine even for a bandit
Suddenly he hears noises
The oak moss offers protection
The noises disappear
All just imagination?
No matter!
The bandit's strength wanes
In the oakmoss he spends the night
Dreaming of more adventures...

Bandit (2012) by Robert Piguet is a very beautiful and classic chypre fragrance with a leathery touch. It goes in quite a green direction and brings what I think is a very subtle and pleasant animalic. The tuberose contained in the fragrance I usually do not like, but here it was very pleasant and discreetly built. For me, Bandit (2012) is a very special Chypre fragrance, which is also due to the leather and the well-dosed oakmoss.
The first edition of Bandit is from 1944 and it was one of the first fragrances of this house. Unfortunately, the 1944 version is only expensive and hard to come by today. After a reissued eau de toilette from 1999 was not particularly well received, then came in 2012 this version of Bandit on the market and was again a great success, which is also relatively close to the original version. Unfortunately, Bandit (2012) was also discontinued again some time ago.

Thanks for reading!

Bandit*in, the wild green creature that fell out of time!
I actually do not like anything too soapy, but this bandit is washed with all water! In addition, completely out of time. Temporal regulation knows the not at all. Shoots with dry green and wood and leather around, barely that she has ridden into the yard, and twists all present the head, that they no longer know whether they are male or female. Freedom and galbanum for all!

Kraut overkill first, then delicious
My first impression of this fragrance :
Green, fresh, dark and above all
herbaceous, herbaceous and again herbaceous.
( Galbanum ? ).
This bandit is a right herbal witch ! She roams through woods, meadows and fields. Earth sticks to her (leather) boots The perfume radiates strength and originality. There is nothing soft or sweet about it. No one wants to please the bandit.
To be honest, I don't like her very much either In the later course of the fragrance a fresh soap smell is added, the penetrating herbal note from the beginning
is getting weaker. Already much better !
From now on the water smells increasingly woody, warmer and softer. (The herbaceousness, which finally makes Bandit stand out, remains the whole time, but fades into the background later on). I like Bandit best on myself, when probably nobody but me can see him anymore..
The fragrance lasts a long time, I can still smell it on my wrist the next day In my opinion rather a men's scent At the beginning he's a pain in the ass, later he's delicious.
I have to admit it : I'd much rather smell that on someone else My husband, for example.)

Oakmoss and fresh armpit sweat
I found a vintage bottle (not sure if it was 2012 or earlier) at my local Goodwill and asked to spray because I was curious. It is very similar to Chanel No 19 or Sisley Eau Du Soir, but more animalic and leathery. In fact, it smells like my own sweaty armpit plus oakmoss. I can only imagine what a shocker it was back in 1944! I am more into sensual vanillic fragrances these days, so Bandit is not for me. But I respect the composition and can see how many people love this.

Love letter to Bandit
Bandit will always be my signature scent. I fell in love with it over a decade ago and despite continuing to explore and collect I always come back to it as my favourite. Do yourself a favour if you’ve never tried it. It’s bold and incredibly attractive and dangerous - classic for a reason, in its many iterations. It won’t suit every single occasion but it’s damn worth it when it does. You’ll probably stop caring if it suits the occasion or not because you enjoy it so much. Honestly, just douse me in it when I die.

Everything is perfect here. Bitter greens, aldehydes, somber flowers, soft leather, mossy base. What a balance. What a great remake.

Bitter green leather-backed goodness. Perfect for those 'don't mess with me' days at the office. And afterwards...
