Make that a H**l, NO!!!!<p> I wanted to love this fragrance. The notes sounded perfect. It started out leathery and smoky, with peppery notes coming to fore...but then the drydown had that...

*Update* Feb 13, 2010 I guess I'm finally adequately debauched because I cannot seem to get enough of Bandit (in my first review, i ticked 'no', that i would not repurchase..but i've changed that...

I had to try this fragrance since I found the eau de parfum dirt cheap on eBay, it was worth the gamble. I can detect the buttery Jasmine-iness of Fracas, as a very subtle base note of this...

I find this warm and cozy. A beautiful scent. Less brash than Erotica, less smoky/powdery than Habanita. Lower-key, nicely spiced, a lil bit underneathly-flowery if I'm not off, and verrrry rich...

Naughty but nice! Bad girls perfume. Meow. A bit sinister, Makes me think of Louise Brooks the silent film star, or maybe Betty Page the famous pinup model from the 50's. I love it!

ohh, what a disappointment. I really really wanted to like this, and at first it wasn't bad. But over time, it morphed into something terrible, like rank smelling BO, mixed with cheap...

The first time I smelled Bandit on a card, I loved its incensey, leathery weirdness. I tested it on my skin: Blecht, cold ashes! But I kept having to go back and try it more. That was the...

Eau d'cat excrement. Fecal, burnt, foul, bitter, fetid, rotting, are you getting the idea? I don't like it. I think the castoreum is a particularly nasty bitter smell. Civet is not for me either....

I wanted to like this, it sounded like my kind of fragrance, but when I sampled it, I nearly gagged on the leathery, rubbery smell. This reminds me of a shoe repair shop.

I couldn't stand Fracas (too loud, too floral) but Bandit intrigues me. I wholeheartedly agree with a previous reviewer who said this made her feel like she was in a film noir. Bandit has an...

Viridian, peppery, carnal, leather, animalic, occult, intense, smokey - all are words that come to my mind when I smell Bandit. It's a fragrance I reach for when I cannot take another floral note. ...

Is it possible to love a perfume only in theory? I completely agree with the reviewer who called this the Yang of Fracas' Yin (they're created by the same nose). I can't wear it since it smells...

The aroma takes me back to my late teens as I was both restless and naive. In this state of stupidity and vulnerability, I became smitten with a fellow that was everything I was not. And, he wore...

I can see the appeal in this, but it's not for me. The ashtray smell comes through really strong on me, no leather at all. As an ex-smoker, that is not something I want to revisit. I would have...

I like to think I appreciate unusual fragrances. Bandit and I, however -- we don't play well together. Bandit, on me, smelled like stale cigarettes, flowers, and old beer, with some very hardcore...

Bandit is created by Germaine Céllier, it is a "bad boy" perfume for women! Smells like juvenile delinquent's black leather jacket and cigarettes, dead sexy and dangerous... Like it says on the...

O.K. So I'm not a very big fan of "smoky" fragrances... sue me! This one actually made my eyes water, but I decided to give it another chance and guess what?!? I think it actually earned another...
