In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

MCM Blue Silver is a busy woody aquatic from 2000, built around bright citrus, watery freshness, minty herbs, fresh spice, soft florals, leather, iris, moss, woods, musk, vanilla, and caramel. On paper it has a long note list, and the one supplied review directly questions whether all of those materials are really not…

Reviews →

Vioris Vanity starts with a crisp blast of sea water and verbena, bringing a cooling ocean feel to the skin. Soon, the scent moves to a green heart of lavender and coriander before setting into an earthy base of oakmoss. It is a refreshing unisex choice for warm spring days and casual outdoor settings.
