M.A.C are renowned for their luscious, highly pigmented lipsticks and have now created a range of scents inspired by some of those all-time best-selling shades.
We’ve long been aware that colour and our perception of scent are closely entwined – in fact, we dedicated an entire issue of our magazine, The Scented Letter, to exploring the relationship between sight and smell – so how wonderful to see this fully realised in M.A.C’s fragrant ‘ShadeScents’ collection. And having had a sneaky sniff of them, we’re convinced fans of the makeup colours will go wild for these, too…
