Bandit

Water color and gouache on paper ||| The Bandit Perfume was created by the House of Robert Puguet with perfumer Germaine Cellier, released in 1944. Bandit is the most daring in a whole line of perfumes like Caron Tabac Blond and Chanel Cuir de Russie, perfumes for a liberated woman at the turn of the last century; for a woman who dares to smoke in public. The bandit woman exudes confidence and a bold personality. A classic "chypré" with dark animal notes and an aggressive leather accord, Bandit is androgynous, hard, edgy and "beautiful but brutal". It's the alpha female scent, the sort of thing a true dominatrix would wear. Leather preferred, high heals mandatory.
