The Story
Bandit Cuir de Russie Intense is a bold, leather-forward flanker that amplifies the original's iconic toughness. Aurélien Guichard layers smoky birch tar with a rich, animalic leather accord, softened just enough by iris and a hint of raspberry. This is a dark, uncompromising scent for those who love leather done right.
