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!

In the eucalyptus forest
It's been a long time since my last visit
So I'm off
Into the eucalyptus forest
The path leads through earthy trails
Wildflowers proliferate at the forest's edge
As colorful as the diversity of the woods
Soft rain drips on my skin
Finally arrived!
A long way lies behind me
My feet ache
But the high seat is not far
Slowly I climb up the mossy ladder
The herbal schnapps always with me
My gaze falls on the endless meadows
Dark green combines with light green
I watch the mushrooms grow
The wind smells of eucalyptus
A place that invites you to linger

Olympic Rainforest by Olympic Orchids Artisan Perfumes is a very authentic forest fragrance. The fragrance has at the beginning something of bitter medicine, paired with cedar. The quite pleasant note of mushrooms stretches through the entire course, but is never really scent-determining. After almost two hours, the medicinal-fresh notes recede into the background and the earthy-woody notes become more and more prominent. Only a sweetish note reminiscent of varnish bothers me minimally. But this disappears again after a very short time. I think the more you wear Olympic Rainforest, the more you like it. A great nature experience is this fragrance in any case.

Thanks for reading!
