Launched in 1944 by Robert Piguet, Bandit is a chypre floral fragrance created by Germaine Cellier. It opens with aldehydes and galbanum, creating an aromatic and green freshness that contrasts with the earthy, mossy undertones of oakmoss and patchouli. The heart blends bergamot and neroli with gardenia and ylang-ylang, adding a floral warmth that transitions into a leathery and musky base, anchored by civet and amber. This blend creates an olfactory experience that is both complex and captivating.
