Civet vs Shalimar Eau de Parfum

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.

Shalimar is celebrated by the r/fragrance community as a landmark fragrance that deserves recognition despite its age, praised for its sensual character and impressive performance. The community appreciates it as a historic female-marketed perfume that breaks the mold of contemporary fragrances, with strong longevity and a beautiful evolution throughout wear.
