“Our big cats definitely react positively when scents are used as part of their enrichment program. For some reason Calvin Klein perfume is a huge hit with all big cats but in all honesty, any perfumes work well and we do like to offer them a variety of different smells,” the zoo’s animal manager, Mike Woolham, said in a statement.

Those who have perfumes can donate the fragrances to the zoo’s admissions department, and they will pass the bottles along to the big cat keepers.
