Olympic Orchids Artisan Perfumes Mardi Gras is a Parfum launched in 2015, created by Ellen Covey. Olympic Orchids Artisan Perfumes's Mardi Gras carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

This is a riotous, uninhibited beast of a fragrance. Mardi Gras is a love-it-or-hate-it affair; some find its animalic punch intoxicatingly sexy, others find it too skanky or even dirty. Not for the faint-hearted, but utterly addictive for those who dare.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

With its strong sillage and long-lasting performance, this scent is far too potent for the office. It's a perfect choice for dates or special occasions where you want to make a bold, unforgettable statement, but its playful, unconventional nature might not suit the most formal settings.

About

Mardi Gras unleashes a bold, syrupy orange blossom and neroli accord, almost candied, that immediately grabs your attention. Beneath this vibrant floral sweetness lies a powerful, untamed civet and musk, creating a 'dirty-sweet' tension. The composition mellows into a rich, resinous base of labdanum and benzoin, rounded out by a warm, enveloping vanilla, providing a sensual, long-lasting drydown.
