What do reviewers say about Mardi Gras and Bee?
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
Bee is not a polite fragrance. The beeswax opens like a candle you've just blown out, and the ginger adds real kick. It became Zoologist's breakout because it smells like something alive and working.Bee
