MCMC Fragrances is an independent fragrance house founded by perfumer Christy Farrell, known for creating niche scents with distinctive character and a focus on natural ingredients. The brand emphasizes artistic expression over commercial appeal, with each release reflecting a specific inspiration or narrative.

Maui opens with a prominent dose of star anise and ginger that immediately establishes a warm, slightly spiced aromatic quality. The heart develops into a lush white floral section dominated by tuberose and frangipani, with bamboo adding a subtle green, woody undertone that keeps the florals from becoming too heavy. The base settles into an unusual sea water accord that provides a salty, mineral-tinged drydown, preventing the fragrance from ever feeling too sweet or traditional.

This is a fragrance for someone who appreciates florals but wants them treated in an unconventional way, particularly those drawn to oceanic or aquatic elements. It works well as a warm-weather daytime scent, though the tuberose gives it enough presence for evening wear. Maui aligns with The Homesteader, The Sensualist, and The Mystic profiles.

Fragrance Notescommunity verified
Top · 0–30 min
Star Anise
Star Anise
Bold, licorice-like, and slightly medicinal, star anise is more forceful than fennel and deeper than anise seed. It has a warm, sweet spiciness that reads as exotic and slightly retro. Used in oriental and gourmand fragrances to add an assertive, distinctive character that is impossible to mistake for anything else.
Ginger
Ginger
Warm, zesty, and slightly medicinal with a bite that sits between spice and citrus. Ginger root adds a lively, invigorating quality to fragrances, it energises rather than soothes. Depending on how it's used, it can read as fresh and zingy or warm and earthy, making it unusually versatile across fragrance families.
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
Frangipani
Frangipani
Creamy, tropical, and deeply floral, frangipani (plumeria) is the scent of warm Pacific nights, a lush sweetness with waxy, slightly rubbery facets. It's more complex than it first appears, with coconut-like creaminess and faint spice underneath. A note that transports immediately and unmistakably.
Tuberose
Tuberose
One of the most intensely floral natural ingredients in existence, rich, creamy, and almost narcotic in its sweetness. Tuberose is polarizing by design: it's meant to be enveloping, not background. It has rubbery, vanilla-like facets that make it feel both sensual and slightly retro.
Bamboo
Bamboo
Clean, green, and faintly woody, bamboo has a fresh, slightly watery quality that evokes Asian minimalism. It's lighter and airier than most woods, more transparent than most green notes, and pairs naturally with aquatic and citrus accords. A modern note that signals effortless freshness.
Base · 3–12 hrs
Sea water
Sea water
Briny, slightly mineral, and faintly ozonic, sea water adds a more literal and organic oceanic quality than abstract aquatic notes. It has a slightly salty heaviness that evokes swimming in the ocean rather than standing on a cliff above it. Used in realistic marine compositions that want genuine saltwater character.
