Perfume information

Description of the composition

The olfactory structure of MV3 is built as a living composition, where layers reveal themselves smoothly and sequentially. The style of MAC is clear in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. Nothing here feels random, and the structure feels complete all the way through.

The accord architecture is built around these accords: Balsamic, Citrus, Floral and Wood forming a compact and readable structure. Secondary accord layers such as Amber, Leather and Spicy add depth to the backdrop. The stylistic positioning is feminine, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived. In wear duration High suggests confident staying power.

Without strict stage separation the fragrance opens as a single chord with a amber-warm mood: Ambergris, Bergamot, Jasmine, Leather accord, Tolu balsam, Vanilla and Vetiver.

The heart and base are felt as a continuous motion from lift to depth, which gives the structure continuity.

From the group perspective the composition is built around Ambery, Citrus, Whiteflower and Leather. The palette also extends to Balsamic, Gourmet and Wood.

Overall MV3 holds a coherent structure — the first stage creates momentum, the heart develops the core line, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence
High (5 to 12 hours)

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.
Sillage

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.
