What do reviewers say about Civet Cat Chypre and Bandit?
A vintage chypre that puts real civet front and center. Not a polite nod to animalic, the whole thing built around it. If you've wanted to know what a true chypre smells like, this is the bottle.Civet Cat Chypre
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
