Mardi Gras by Olympic Orchids receives positive recognition from r/fragrance enthusiasts, particularly praised for its distinctive civet note which is described as one of the few well-executed civet fragrances. The perfume is mentioned as part of a quality collection from a respected women-owned artisan house, though community discussion remains somewhat limited compared to mainstream fragrances.

Grand Soir is widely praised by the r/fragrance community as an exceptional niche fragrance with a strong opening that develops into a sophisticated amber-vanilla composition. The community strongly recommends sampling before purchasing (MFK offers 6 samples for €14) and notes that while it's not similar to Carlisle, it's a masterfully crafted scent with impressive longevity that many consider a collection essential.
