I'm often an outlier but, at 63, I figure I'm entitled.
This afternoon, I sprayed some Piguet Bandit EdP. About five years ago, knowing it's a "women's" perfume, but having read a lot about its aggressiveness, I bought it blindly (at a much cheaper price than today's). Every time I've used it, I've enjoyed it. Today was no exception.
I have no idea why this is called a women's fragrance, except perhaps that Marlene Dietrich used it. The "dirty" progression from spray to dry-down to linger is very impressive. I hadn't used it for a year or two until today, but I'm going to turn to it much more often. I use another "women's" fragrance, Juliette Has A Gun's "Midnight Oud," also one of my favorites.
I'm confused by gender classifications of fragrances.
