The Story
Bandit Cuir is a bold leather interpretation of the iconic 1944 original. This flanker amplifies the leather accord with a smoky, animalic edge while keeping the classic green chypre structure. It opens with a sharp burst of aldehydes and galbanum, then settles into a rich, tanned leather softened by iris and vetiver. A fragrance for those who love uncompromising, vintage-inspired leather scents.
