Narcotic and sticky, Vivara is impossible to miss. It features the classic 1960s Chypre combination of leather, aldehydes, and moss with green nuances. However, its resinous and amber facets seem more prominent than in other Chypres from that era. I’ve never cared for Bandit by Robert Piguet, yet I do like Vivara; I’m not sure if I’d add it to my collection, but it is clearly better harmonised and balanced, far less dramatic than Bandit. I’d recommend this Chypre to anyone who finds Bandit intriguing but struggles with its so much more strident notes; this is an excellent alternative.
