Mardi Gras vs Civet

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.

Zoologist Civet is a highly polarizing fragrance within the community. While some appreciate it as an intriguing floral with animalic depth meant for adventurous wearers, others perceive strong urine/piss notes that limit its wearability in social situations. It's clearly designed for niche perfume collectors willing to embrace unconventional and challenging scents.
