With warm spice and slight sweetness, Gentling the Tiger Perfume pays tribute to Mabel Stark, the fearless tiger trainer. The fragrance combines exotic Cardamom with creamy Vanilla, and earthy Vetiver, Cedar, and Patchouli to create a fierce yet cozy scent. Stark developed a unique bond with her animals and pioneered a training technique known as "Gentling the Tiger", using patience and trust rather than force. To me, Gentling the Tiger is about harnessing inner strength, love, and serenity amidst life's unpredictability and chaos.Mabel Stark (1889–1968) was a pioneering American tiger trainer and one of the first women to perform with big cats in the circus. She gained fame in the 1920s performing with Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, where she was known for her daring acts, often entering the ring with multiple tigers, including her beloved Bengal tiger, Rajah. Despite enduring serious injuries from tiger attacks throughout her career, she remained devoted to her craft, performing into her later years. Her resilience, charisma, and fearless spirit made her an icon in circus history, proving that strength and grace could tame even the wildest of beasts.To learn more about Mabel Stark visit: https://bounddv.medium.com/women-you-should-know-the-worlds-first-female-tiger-trainer-mabel-stark-2ed754572ca1Art: Vintage Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus PosterOur. the Custom Discovery Sample Set is a fantastic option.For larger bottle options with art labels on the front and scent notes on the back, visit the EDP Atomizer Bottles section. coconut oil.
