My new favourite perfume is Bandit by Robert Piguet. A smokey, leathery, animalic blend of brutal beauty. I have the 2012 reformulation (sadly not the 1944 original, which by all accounts is a masterpiece).
Whether the story behind the creation of the original Bandit by perfumer Germaine Cellier is true or not, it's a very interesting and colourful account. I'm keen to sniff some of her other creations now too!
