The renaissance of an icon – Bandit Suprême by Robert Piguet
Paris, 1944 – the year of Robert Piguet's unforgettable fashion show: creating a mysterious aura, his models strutted down the catwalk anonymously veiled and masked, throwing perfume bottles that shattered on the stage like bombs. And the audience was treated to a fragrance that, even three quarters of a century later, has lost none of its explosive power: Bandit.
Created by Germaine Cellier, one of the first and best perfumers of all time, an enfant terrible of her kind, Robert Piguet's Bandit exudes the strong character of a revolutionary to this day – a powerful chypre that is second to none.
Aurelien Guichard, the in-house perfumer at Piguet Parfums, has long been working behind the scenes on a project close to the brand's heart: to resurrect the original “Bandit.” This classic, considered by many to be Le Plus Ultra, had been reformulated several times, so the declared intention was to get as close as possible to the holy grail of fragrance. Guichard has mastered this goal with flying colors. Its name: Bandit Suprême.
Bandit Suprême shines with the well-known, unique bitterness of galbanum, an intense, leathery green note that shines brightly thanks to citrus notes. Ambroxan tames the aromatic green wilderness and keeps the flowers in check, while musk in the base of leather and earthy dark patchouli sounds both soft and animalistic, brilliantly rounded off by oak moss.
None like it – Bandit Suprême by Robert Piguet.
