What do reviewers say about Miss Balmain and Bandit?
Here's the thing about Miss Balmain: it doesn't smell like anything soft. Aldehydes, leather, carnation, oakmoss, this is chypre structure without apology.Miss Balmain
Bandit doesn't whisper. It states its position, leaves the room, and you're still standing in it wondering what happened. The leather-civet core is its own argument.Bandit
