Which Should You Buy?
Bandit is a brazen, unapologetically 'vintage' leather chypre. It's wildly divisive - some find it a masterful, sexy statement, others a screeching, dank relic. Definitely not a blind buy, this one's for the bold.
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair, a genuinely divisive beast of a scent. Expect a full-on, unapologetic assault of vintage glam, raw animalic power, and a tuberose that's anything but shy. Not for the faint of heart, but utterly captivating.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its potent projection and distinct, 'challenging' character make it less suitable for office or casual wear. This is a showstopper best reserved for evenings, dates, or formal events where its commanding presence can truly shine without overpowering. The animalic and leather accords lend themselves to a confident, evening setting.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Given its strong, long-lasting nature and potent animalic and tuberose accords, this isn't an office-friendly scent. Its bold, complex character makes it perfectly suited for evening events or intimate dates, while its unique vintage quality can certainly elevate a distinguished formal occasion.
