I've been saying for a long time that Robert Piguet's Bandit is unlike anything else. Germaine Cellier "painted" the great leather chypre with sweeping, broad brushstrokes. Greenery, bitterness, a velvety southern night with its intoxicating floral scent, and then, all at once, tough black leather and an unfiltered cigarette.
Alessandro Brun, creator of the renowned Masque Milano collection, dedicated his new perfume project to his beloved city and called it simply Milano Fragranze. Through scents, Alessandro sought to remind us, deprived of travel, of Milan's most famous landmarks and traditions.
The difference between genuine niche perfumery and the stylized versions of the "big" perfume houses is immediately apparent. Yes, the focus is on raw materials, all those tired "precious ingredients" in press releases. Yes, all the bottles are identical, and maybe even feature mother-of-pearl and rhinestones for customers in countries where oil gushes right out of the window. But brands like Guerlain don't, and never have, attempted to appeal to the sophisticated consumer.
I bought Tonka Imperiale as gifts twice, but I never added it to my collection. It turns out that spending half an hour with someone wearing it is enough to leave me satiated for a month.
