When you think of MCM, it's their iconic backpack accessories that instantly spring to mind.
Known for its luxury craftsmanship and unmistakable Visetos monogram, the brand has translated its adventurous spirit into a collection of fragrances that, like its accessories, let you travel in style. The Stark Backpack became MCM's signature accessory, not only for its bold design, practical functionality, and luxury appeal, but for being gender-inclusive. Now that ‘it’ accessory has become a fragrance collection with that same nod to luxury travel, each offering a blend of fruits, florals, and woods that reflects the modernity of one of the world’s leading fashion brands.
Below is the collection and what you can expect from the very first spritz.
MCM Eau de Parfum, 30 mL, $65, 75 mL, $109 - a Woody Floral
What does it smell like
The fruity burst combines raspberry and apricot, with a floral heart of white peony, jasmine absolute, and musky violet leaf. White moss, vanilla, and sandalwood round out what is a popular, modern, timeless scent.
MCM Ultra EDP, 30ML, $65, 75ML, $109 - Playful Woody floral
What does it smell like
Another fruity spike with blackcurrant and Pink Lady apple, apricot nectar, and pink pepper. But it’s the blend of tuberose and jasmine sambac that gives it a sophisticated edge. Finally, its lasting qualities are the woody presence of cedarwood, amber, tonka bean, and moss.
MCM Crush EDP, 30ML, $65, 75ML, $109 - A fruity, Wody floral.
What does it smell likE
The zesty frozen pear, pink pepper, blackcurrant, and apricot nectar combination is not only addictive but refreshingly different. Its floral lineup is feminine and lasting, think magnolia, rose de mai and white peony.
But its lasting appeal is thanks to upcycled cedarwood, cashmere wood, and the bitter-peppery nuances of ambrette.
THE TAKE HOME
Whether you’re a longtime fan of MCM fashion or simply searching for a stylish new fragrance, this collection offers more than just beautiful packaging. It features wearable scents with broad everyday appeal at an affordable price. Think distinctive and sophisticated. These clever fragrances remind us that great scents, like great fashion, are an extension of our personalities.
