Which Should You Buy?
Coriandre is a polarising, unapologetically '70s green chypre. Definitely not for the gourmand crowd, but if you're after a sophisticated, timeless scent that stands out, this affordable gem might just be your new obsession.
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.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and autumn.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and 'clean' yet sophisticated aura make it ideal for office wear, being noticeable without overwhelming. Reviewers highlight its elegance and versatility for both formal and casual settings, though its distinct chypre character means it's less suited for sporty activities.
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.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Aromatic, Woody, Earthy accords and Civet, Rose notes
