What does Bandit (2012) (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind, and it is worn most for evenings and nights out, as well as leisure time. It sits between feminine and masculine, with a classic feel.

It opens with orange, neroli, ylang-ylang and galbanum, bright but green. In the heart, tuberose and jasmine meet leather, so the flowers stay edgy rather than soft. The base of vetiver, patchouli, musk and oakmoss lays down an earthy, smoky ground.
