MAC’s Asphalt Flower
MAC’s Asphalt Flower is like the gravelly crunch of new leather boots afoot a freshly paved street. An edgy, cool incense and sweet berries (mulberry and currant, to my nose) adds a dimension of femininity to this revamped version of one of MAC’s earlier 1999 fragrance releases. Asphalt Flower reminds me of Pam from True Blood: feminine and fierce. The rollerball packaging feels very appropriate as this is a sensual, textured fragrance that lends itself well to dabbing on rather than spraying. Asphalt Flower is perfectly reminiscent of the brand it represents, and a must-have fragrance for fall.
- Asphalt Flower is available for $20 in a 6 mL rollerball from MAC Cosmetics

It is about time someone came out with such a great fragrance. Thank you for sharing. We will be back to see what Mac is going to create for us next. Hopefully there will be some great deals on new products for Christmas.
I love this fragrance!
It’s so different from all the boring fruity florals out there. This fragrance is edgy and feminine at the same time and a great F/W fragrance.
The rollerball is a great idea too, no fear of leakage in your purse! It’s just a shame that it’s a limited edition. MAC should bring this back permanent.
Think this one might be a tough sell. It smells like asphalt- minus the flower, and add in some spilled gasoline. I’m going to test it out layered with some other Creations and see what I get.
This is an amazing scent. For me at least it’s like nothing I’ve tried before. And the upside is, that even my allergic boyfriend can handle me wearing this, so I’m getting some more!
I agree that it’s very unique! The only thing it reminds me of at all is Comme des Garcons for Stephen Jones, which smells like violet that’s been hit by a meteorite
I don’t think it’s much more unusual than black lipstick myself, but then again I do have a bottle of Nostalgia by Santa Maria Novella which does, in fact, have a prominent gasoline accord.
