Bandit

Bandit operates in a tension between bitter galbanum and the sharp, metallic snap of aldehydes. It avoids the typical soft florals of its era, grounding gardenia and tuberose in a heavy, animalic base of civet, leather, and oakmoss. Instead of sweetness, there is a deep, earthy grit that lingers on skin for hours. Even as the coconut and amber emerge in the dry down, they serve only to smooth the jagged edges of a composition that remains fundamentally assertive and distinct.
