Birchbox Breakdown

MCMC founder Anne McClain was inspired by a free-spirited friend to create this ethereal perfume. Part of The Stories Collections—a group of scents inspired by McClain’s personal experiences—it’s the embodiment of feminine flair. The top note of vanilla quickly translates to a honeysuckle when it touches skin. The lasting note is peach, and its lightweight essence personifies the story of Phoenix.

How it Works

You’ve probably smelled a Neroli flower scent before – even it you’ve never been to France. This citrus oil comes from orange tree blossoms and is used in many perfumes due to its ability to mix well with other notes, such as vanilla and peach.

How to Use

Dab behind the ears and onto wrists. Avoid rubbing wrists together so that the notes don’t break down. Tip: Store away from the sun. Citrus and floral oils are particularly sensitive to light and heat.

Fun, soft , warm & sexy

Lovely, free-spirited scent that's warm and soft but also lively. I can definitely smell the peach in it...so unusual...but not overly sweet.

Not my favorite

I really did not enjoy the smell of this perfume. It smelled like alcohol mixed with "old lady" scent.

Happy daytime scent

Nice balance of sexy and floral notes. Suitable for daytime.
Not so sweet it's cloying, not so sexy you can't wear it every day.
I tend to avoid heavy florals, and this one had enough crispness that it didn't annoy me.

MCMC Fragrance Phoenix Perfume Oil

First trying my sample I really liked the scent, I usually don't like anything vanilla but the results on me were delightful. A few of my friends even noticed that I had changed scents, they like the "new" me. As a result I decided to purchase Phoenix and I'm glad I did a new fragrance always makes me feel good, it can put a bounce in my step. Thank you Ann McLain, for Phoenix my new favorite scent.

Smells great!

Love the smell! It fits in with the holidays and I love wearing it. Usually I'm not the biggest fan of perfume but I love this one!

Smells Amazing

This perfume smells amazing - a modern & sophisticated take on vanilla, peach and floral. Soft and powdery, without being too sweet. I bought the product and it's been great to toss it in my handbag and travel with it on vacations.

I Can't Stop Sniffing Myself

I have fallen head over heels for this fragrance. I received it as a sample and will be purchasing it in the near future. Phoenix is a very pretty scent. It starts off with a light punch of honeysuckle which is normally not a fragrance that I would wear. HOWEVER, when it dies down my love affair begins. The lingering scent is sweet but not cloying. It is very light, but sometimes just a little can be the right amount. I can't quite describe it but it totally works for me. I find it absolutely divine!

Not my favorite

Perfume samples are my favorite things to get in my boxes. It helps me venture out from my norm and find new things that I otherwise wouldn't know about. I had watched the spoiler video before getting my box and hoped I would get the MCMC Fragrance sample, sadly I was disappointed. It may just be how it smells on me, but it reminds me of an old lady scent. I had my husband smell it and he didn't like it either. Oh well, hopefully the next one will be better (I loved the Twirl by Kate Spade sample from last month or the month before).

Not much honeysuckle or vanilla :(

It says the lasting note is peach, and that is definitely true. I don't know if it just didn't mesh well with my body chemistry, but it seemed to me as though the peach smell overwhelmed the other elements.

Something about this is amazing

I got this sample in my November Birchbox and 1st was pumped that it actually had a spray (unlike most perfume samples). I'm pretty devoted to my Marc Jacobs line of perfumes but this might be a new favorite scent.
It's so yummy and fresh, feminine but has a bit of an edge.
The only caveat in comparing it with my Daisy perfumes is that the scent doesn't last as long.
Still, I strongly recommend this scent.
