The Story
Bandit Leather Intense is a bold reimagining of the classic 1944 chypre, pushing the leather accord to the forefront. It opens with a sharp burst of aldehydes and bitter galbanum, then settles into a smoky, animalic leather heart. The base is a dark blend of oakmoss, patchouli, and castoreum. This is a fragrance for those who want to make a statement.
