Beautifully blended fragrance…opening similar to something between Tuscan Leather and Acqua Di Parma Leather and Godolphin By Marley…Dry-down identical to Clive Christian C!
Suede et Safran is not as sweet as TL(This part shows some similarities to CCC).Suede and saffaron and gignger are three bold notes which you can smell them in fragrance whole life.
But i prefer much Tuscan Leather to this(Prefer TL to CCC!)
Longevity and Sillage Normal and Moderate.
But i dont see any creativity and character in it.
Anyway not a bad choice

When my Mum was young she loved Bandit. What a great start for a story ! 🙂 Actually, the smell from my childhood which I associate with Mum is Calèche – but her inner self, her nature was rather Bandit though. I can’t say about my Mum “when she grew old” – she never did – but, anyway, I sprayed a new rendition of Bandit on her receintly – she said “A bit similar !”
Sorry for this sentimental part – a perfume is not just a smell, it’s an idea ! The idea behind this absolutely wonderful Nishane fragrance is “stop mourning about great vintage, look around”.
Here we are – since vintage Bandit smells of whatever now, modern Bandit smells of anything a little bit similar, here we come – SUEDE et SAFRAN. Suede is really suede – soft and gentle, not leather at all, like often happens with other perfumes – suede turns into leather sooner than you have a chance to really enjoy it. Saffron is quite subtle, I can hardly discern it but caraway, ginger and even coriander (secret component, not mentioned by creators) play bass guitar and drums, when the suede is the lead vocalist, of course ! I realise that some old fashioned flower bouquet is missing compared with the old Bandit but it is substituted by tantalisingly tangy spice bouquet – surprise-surprise, nowadays spice shops are places for inspiration like flower shops used to be ages before and up the 20th century.
Anyway – when I send SUEDE et SAFRAN to my Mum – she said “That’s the Bandit I remember !” I know, it’s not the best way to describe a great perfume through comparisson to the legend, but life goes on and legends for the future are being created today, now – and no doubts – this fragrance has pretty fat chances to be one of them !

Wow, this is a dead ringer for Montale Aoud Leather (and not the other way around). Pay less than 1/2 per ml and get the Montale!

Trully This is near Tuscan Leather by TF but with more sweetness roses saffron. It feels like watery light and kind of soft. I already dislike TL so this is a pass for me.

@Petrichor – you nail it. Great review btw.
I second many people after digging in to the reviews in the community. I bought ambre loup by rania j off twisted Lilly and let them know if they send samples I am really in to leather scents right now and to send me their best leather samples. This was obviously one of them.
My first and immediate thought was Tuscan Leather clone. Then I put it on my left hand in generous proportion. Still Tuscan Leather..then I noticed it started to get a little sweet. So I looked up the notes. Ambre tote mixed with saffron and ginger make for a real real interesting composition. It’s like a floral sweetness or a super fresh sweetness. Not cloying surgar at all. I need a little more time with this fragrance as this is just a first impression. But with how much hype TL gets, I think this should at least get some attention. I got to be honest, and don’t care what anyone says or if I get any balloons and I say that bc I don’t like Tuscan Leather. I do like this though. It’s bc of the slight sweet and fresh undertones this has. TL is too in your face and strong like. I really like this fragrance. They are both about the same price, this being a little more. It only comes in 50ml and its $230.00.
If you are a fan of very high end high quality leather scents with excellent longevity and projection, you would be missing out if you didn’t sample this fragrance. If you tried to like Tuscan leather but just thought it was a little to harsh or something was a little off, you have to try this. I think we got so,etching here guys. This isn’t CH for men leather, this is very refined all natural high end leather.

Montale’s Aoud Leather but at more than twice the price. Stick with the Montale.
