Mardi Gras vs Salome

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.

Salome is a divisive, unapologetically bold fragrance that appeals strongly to enthusiasts of animalic and skank fragrances. The community consensus is positive among those who appreciate its provocative character, though it's clearly not for conventional tastes. Multiple reviewers praise its complex floral-animalic balance and agree it demands confidence to wear.
