What do reviewers say about Mardi Gras and Grand Soir?
This is the fragrance that convinces people animalics aren't scary. The civet doesn't growl, it purrs. Vanilla and orange blossom keep it civilized long enough for you to lean in anyway.Mardi Gras
Grand Soir doesn't whisper. It leans fully into its amber-vanilla identity, offering an unapologetic, intimate warmth that stays close to the skin. Bold in its simplicity.Grand Soir
