MV3 (2002)
by M.A.C

a gorgeous carmely liguer bordering on smelling like rubber

7th April, 2011.

One of the most divine sexually driven fragrances, and at a nice price. Along the lines of Hypnotic Poison and Deep Red this fragrance captures the robust side of the sophisticated woman. It's a power scent, and when you wear it, people take notice.

A little touch of leather... hmm.. what it can do!

Amid all the fruities and sugaries MV3 comes off as... what is this? A touch of darkness? A touch of sophistication? A touch of leather?

It's still mainstream and reassuringly commercial, but it has something more.

I can imagine this as a gateway drug luring those who are innocent simply because they are inexperienced.

"Come away from the 'Pink Sugar'" it cries. "Put down the 'Flowerbomb' and dance with me!" it breathes.

"Let me whisper to you of 'Musc Ravageur' and 'Cuir de Russie' and the sad sexy story of 'Cabochard'" it intreats.

Will they listen?

Will they give in?

Will they feel a little touch of leather on their skin?

This scent has absolutely no chocolate notes, but the winning combination of leather and vanilla certainly evokes it. Good for cooler weather but since I live in the south I rarely have an occasion to wear it. Definitely a unisex - I'd certainly recommend you try it out before you buy it (many MAC locations will gladly hand out a sample vial and all locations have testers), because many people who have smelled this on me have commented that it seems a bit heavy for daily wear.

Found this as a result of BN thread comparing it to Musc Ravageur. What a find! Exuberant Floriental headed up with bergamot and jasmine and (for me) a vanilic balsam drydown. Quite similar to MR without MR's raffinee. Didn't get any of the chocolate and mocha that emerged in Sweden! Hmnnnn.

An almost completely unknown fragrance gem. MV3 is along the lines of Bulgari Omnia and has a very noticeable white chocolate theme with some dashes of creamy mocha. Can be had for a very decent price at almost all M.A.C. counters and is completely unisex in my honest opinion. Dry cedar base that sticks around forever.
