Bandit Light pour Homme
by Robert Piguet

A masculine Bomb...!

Think of Mr Leather (Bluff XXX) arrives in town and takes control of the scene that night...

This scent starts harshly with bitter lemon/lime and hot rubber notes and tries to cut your head off...and I thought...this scent is going to be a cheap nightmare...

However...

Don`t run away, don`t scrub it off...wait and be patient...I know it is difficult being a man...after an hour or so, it starts settling down into the most luxurious leather I have tried so far...refined, soothing, sophisticated, seductive and totally animalic...Heaven...

I can picture this smell in night clubs in San Francisco and Madrid in the 80`s and 90`s...where codes and moustaches were the norm...

The scent has incredible longevity and sillage...I would personally wear it in the evening/night time...

Big thumbs up...!!!

So unique. I do not really see the difference between this and edt bandit. Both are so potent and remind me of a cross between antaeus and monsigner musk, by Houbigant. This stuff sprays so wonderfully out of such a cool and modern bottle. I had huge huge hopes for this stuff as I bought blind. Overall, very very solid, but not quite as good as I dreamed. It does smell a little like car tires. I can see why this stuff is legendary, but to be honest - a little let down, Antaeus is better. I have the edt for bandit - and trust me - it is for men, not women. Very masculine, dark,powerful, sexy - a little weird.

Pretty amazing stuff. I first heard about it from Martin Chung of Liquid Art on eBay. He said that was his signature fragrance and that is smelled like car tires. Martin was right. It starts off just horribly. But then it dries down into a fairly agreeable leather scent; a bit like Knize Ten, but way, way stronger. Extremely memorable but not for the faint of heart. (Oh, this is not for the "Light" version, but for the Regular Bandit pour homme).
