Intrigued by Luca Turin's classification of this as a great feminine frag for men, and intrigued by his adoration of the original and near adoration of this reconstruction, I headed over to Saks to...

Bandit drives me nuts. The first three bottles edp were marvelous; dry, sharp, green and lovely leather (almost petrolish) fragrance BUT next bottle I got in my hands was terrible sweet, oriental,...

Pleasant surprise, I expected a sillage-monster. Not so! This is some fine kind of Bandit... Still a tad too masculine for me. Oakmoss, oakmoss, oakmoss... I doubt I'll be tempted to buy it, but...

Bandit starts off with a green peppery note and then develops into leather chypre fragrance with extraordinary sillage. It is *the* perfume to wear when you need a boost of self-confidence as it...

This starts with a blast of something that reminded me of whiskey. It then rounded out nicely, with some of the edge still showing, but then my nose began to close up because of what I can only...

I was very curious to try Bandit given its reputation as a “bad-girl” leather. I was quite disappointed, not because I hated it, but because I didn’t smell any leather. Later I realized that it is...

Bandit is her secret name for herself. Her name is really Plain Jane, and she spends her weekend nights babysitting instead of on dates. She wears her best fluffy pink cashmere sweater, though, and...

I am so curious about skin chemistry, as this perfume is so soft and feminine on me I feel as if it must be a different perfume from what some others have reviewed. My skin does tend to highlight...

Was looking forward to trying this very much, but sadly, Bandit didn't seem to take to me; it never really warmed up and bloomed on my skin, but started out and stayed a cold, harsh, very green and...

This review is for the parfum. Dark-green-wicked-smoky-mysterious-sexy. This is what something called 'In Control' should smell like. But I could not picture a man wearing this scent even though...

I had a bottle of the EDT, and that was quite interesting, to say the least! It was a pungent, shocking fragrance that almost burned my nostrils.Almost like gasoline! The drydown was better, and...

It is my kind of fragrance, but not my 'HG' as you put it. Am I the only one who thinks it has a lot in common with Sisley Eau du soir? especially the dry down : This rather acidic and heady...

Anther vintage fragrance I love. This is my winter night fragrance. So sexy and a little masculine. The image of Marlena Dietrich comes to mind when I smell this. I have the parfum--I only buy...

'Bandit.' The name is perfect. It's bold and audacious, independent and outspoken. It's the bossy elder sibling of the prettier 'Jolie Madame' and the more conservative 'Cabochard.' It's sharp,...
