Bandit by Robert Piguet is a Chypre Floral fragrance for women. Bandit was launched in 1944. The nose behind this fragrance is Germaine Cellier.
Bandit is the most daring in the whole line of perfumes like Caron Tabac Blond and Chanel Cuir de Russie, perfumes for an emancipated woman on the turn of the last century; for a woman who dares to smoke in the public. Bandit was made for the avantgarde Robert Piguet's collection, inspired by romantic sea voyages and pirates. Bandit is a classic "chypre" with dark animal notes and aggressive leather accord. In 1999, after 25 years, production of Bandit started again. Eau de toilette has the greatest sharpness. In the perfume version, leather and smoke notes are followed by clear notes of white flowers and vetiver.
Top notes: Aldehydes, Galbanum, Artemisia, Bergamot, Neroli, Gardenia, Ylang-Ylang and Orange
Heart notes: Carnation, Violet Root, Jasmine, Rose and Tuberose

Bandit - hype but no punch
How disappointing. I had Fraccas back in the 90's and although it was not a favourite of mine, I did appreciate the complexity and the sillage. So, after reading many reviews of Bandit, I thought it would have at least a similar complexity and strength. Not at all.
Is it just me or are fragrances now just watered down splash?

Rebellious, timeless, delicious
I think 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 all its 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.
