In the '1958 Topps Walt Disney's Zorro' vintage series of postcards there is one, named 'The Capitan's Vow', in which Diego and Monastario stand opposite each other, separated by a mirror and a dressing table, on which there are many bottles of perfumes etc.

And there is a perfume that fits El Zorro perfectly: it's a perfume legend famous for its originality, toughness and beauty, it's no longer produced, and, finally, it's called 'Bandit' 😉

But for some reason this classic leather men's chypre was classified as a women's fragrance in 1944 (I think to increase sales or the perfume was a manifestation of female emancipation). However, it became famous thanks to Marlene Dietrich, and so far in articles devoted to 'Bandit' men don't hesitate to confess their love for it, and women love it the way they love Zorro, that is, whatever one may say, but this is not a perfume for women, it's like a tuxedo in a lady's wardrobe. (Why it wasn't classified as a unisex perfume after 1st and 2nd attempts to keep it producing, I really don't know. By the way, perfumery in the 19th century was unisex.)

I own both versions of 'Bandit', a vintage version and a 2000/10s one, and I've never smelled anything more masculine, although I'm familiar with Napoleon's and Churchill's favorite fragrances, tobacco Cuban men's perfumes, as well as Arabic traditional ones.

I was embarrassed to talk about my associations for many months, but 'Bandit' was created in 1944, that is, this is the time of the popularity of Power's Zorro, and then—Williams' Fox, the perfume is an eternal classic and is something unique, something beyond the usual frames and roles, so why not?

'Bandit' is exactly the bad boy you've been waiting for, señorita 😏

P. S. But, ahem, those '1958 Topps Walt Disney's Zorro' not about señoritas, since we started with them xD

Fracas (eau de parfum) Classic Collection Robert Piguet

Floral

The coveted jewel in the crown of Piguet’s glittering collection, 1948 game-changer Fracas, is a long-time trendsetter. At the time, legendary perfumer, Germaine Cellier, sought to create a scent that would make its wearer feel like a bombshell; one that would leave an unsettling effect on everyone that encountered it.

With unmistakable and unrivaled opulent tuberose and jasmine accords, this lush and creamy concoction clings to a woman’s skin and warms with her unique chemistry. Unlike many traditional white florals, Fracas is dark and luscious. Rich accents of sandalwood and delicate musk enhance the brilliance and complexity.

Its legacy and unrivaled artistry has earned Fracas a proud position in the Fragrance Foundation Hall of Fame.

Top notes: Bergamot, Mandarin Heart notes: Jasmine, Tuberose, Gardenia Base notes: Musk, Sandalwood

Ready for a Friendly Fragrance That’s Different? Try Chai By R. Piguet

I love oriental and floriental fragrances redolent with oud, spice, incense, leather, and tobacco. But now and then I want to wear something different. Chai by Robert Piguet ($195/3.4 fl. oz.) is classified as a Citrus Aromatic fragrance for women.   The Nose: I always think of the perfumers as rock stars. The nose behind CHAI (launched in 2012)  is Aurelien Guichard. He is a senior perfumer at…

Top 10 Scary Perfumes For Halloween 2022

Who needs ideas for a scent to go with their #Halloween costume? -- My list of the #Top10 scary perfumes.

A bit of fun! To mark the approach of Halloween – which is an event I don’t think I’ve ever ‘celebrated’ in my entire life – I decided to devote a YouTube video to a Top 10 list of scary perfumes: scents that are in some way unsettling, intimidating or creepy. Needless to say, the subject generated a fair amount of discussion amongst the live audience, so do take the time to read their comments…

Velvet was still popular for evening and Chanel designed wide-shouldered evening suits in black velvet. This dress (above, center) is by Robert Piguet who was known for his easy tailored dresses. Black satin trimmed with silver fox was used for this Mainbocher dress with its matching cape (above, right)."
