What do reviewers say about Mardi Gras and Civet?
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
The civet note is not subtle. It announces itself, it lingers, and it polarizes. If you're looking for a fragrance that whispers, stop here. If you want something that owns the room, animalic warmth,.Civet
