Has anyone tried this? It sounds interesting.
From Fragrantica:
Serge Bensimon, one of the Bensimon brothers (Serge and Yves, who run the company) met Pierre Bourdon in the beginning of the 1990s, and asked him to create a personal fragrance for him. Cologne 1993 was born this way. Serge was wearing it for more then 10 years before he decided to share it with fans of Bensimon lifestyle.
Cologne 1993 has an opulent formula, which includes citruses (bergamot, lemon, petit-grain), precious wood (cedar, sandalwood, patchouli), resins (benzoin and myrrh), amber, aromatic herbs (lavender, geranium and hyssop), as well as leather and animalistic notes (jasmine absolute jasmine, civet absolute, castoreum...).
The fragrance itself is fresh and warm; woody ad musk, with a pleasant patchouli aroma and comfortableness of amber, myrrh, benzoin, refreshed with aromatic lavender and citrus. It is both fresh and oriental in the same time.
It looks like they sell decants of it at The Perfumed Court.

It's similiar to Bandit in a way, but one thing's for sure, this is very, very complex. It's an extremely diffucult scent to describe, and to every leather, animalic, no-holds-barred lover out there, I urge you to try it. It is infinitely gorgeous.
