MAC Potions Collection: launched in January of 1999. These alcohol free fragrances were part of a limited edition called "MAC Potions Collection". The fragrances were developed by Quest International.
"These are the MAC expression of fragrance, three modern primal elixirs, distillates of global ingredients infused in oil with 50% fragrance to create a highly concentrated, highly personal experience."
The MAC amulet, taken from medieval times when amulets were used to protect the wearer, expands the concept into a more modern era. Wound around the wrist, worn around the neck or concealed in a pocket, MAC promised the wearer of this unique design a spiritual key to new sensual levels of being. The Essences of MAC were available in a three-vial set for $30 and the MAC amulet sold for $35, and were sold at all MAC retailers.
The perfumes were: Hyper Souk, Synthetic Nirvana and Asphalt Flower.
