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
