What do reviewers say about Mardi Gras and Hummingbird?
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
This is a clean, approachable scent that reads as effortless elegance. The honey note is the star, but it stays away from being cloying. It hums with quiet confidence.Hummingbird
