Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

MAC MV2 opens with a fleeting whisper of lemon before quickly diving into a creamy, almost custardy vanilla heart. The lavender is subtle, often lost in the rich gourmand sweetness, which is frequently described as milky or reminiscent of creme brulee. Heliotrope underpins the vanilla, adding a slightly powdery, almond-like depth that contributes to its warm, inviting, and notably heavy character.
