Muse
Centered on the idea of a muse, Muse moves from a scattering citrus opening of orange, peach and grapefruit into a powdery violet heart, then an amber, sandalwood and vanilla base of warm, deepening tones.
Muse takes its subject from the idea of a muse itself: a source of creation, longing and quiet passion. The brand describes the fragrance as holding the complicated feelings that bring art into being, and the image of a melody or a dim memory that will not fully fade.
The opening brings several fruits together. Orange, peach and grapefruit overlap briefly, their edges softening, and the fruit hands off to the heart before it can settle into a single impression.
Violet sits at the center, pulled away from a clear floral shape and tied instead to a powdery texture. The dry sweetness of the flower suggests reaching for someone waiting at a distance, without ever closing the gap.
Amber, sandalwood and vanilla settle underneath as a warm, deepening layer. The warmer sweetness of the base surrounds the fruit and powdery violet.
