![]() I expected this to be a generic scent but it is more so of a simplistic beauty. She dresses her seductive lips in timelessly elegant colour with a sensual lipcare texture and keeping her soul with the essence of floral fragrance and femininity to embrace her mood and emotion with a love potion. Like a Estee Lauder lipstick, the scent is the sign of ultimate chic. Be-muse-ingly unamusing but just acceptable. I get moderate sillage, excellent projection and a impressive nine hours of longevity on my skin.Ī spring scent that alters between bluntly biochemical laboratory fakeness and phases of unexciting pleasantness. The base develops a slightly spicy undertone with an ambery side - this time there are ultra-generic notes - and a vanilla aroma that is agreeable but rather trite indeed. The drydown, not unexpectedly, shifts to the floral range, and after expecting another onslaught of laboratory fumes I was pleasantly disappointed: whilst the rose I am getting is rather pale and anaemic, there is a triad of jasmine and magnolia, with whiffs of oleander on its tail, which are, whilst still somewhat generic, synthetic and pedestrian, much more convincing and lack the unbalanced features of the top notes. With three sizes to choose from (the smallest 1 oz bottle sells for $62), it’s a pretty comparable price to a lot of perfumes on the market.A loud, artificial candy-raspberry-cum-blackberry lolly impression greets me, and it is not of the very pleasant type. I’m so glad I didn’t let first impressions deter me because Modern Muse has turned out to be my new daily fragrance of the moment and the perfect scent for winter. It’s easy to wear out for a night on town, without worrying about it consuming everyone around you. I think it would appeal to a pretty broad range too younger or older, student or professional. ![]() The style is described as fruity, floral and oriental and I definitely get that vibe from it. I now find it to be a pretty safe “work fragrance” that isn’t too loud or powerful and lasts well into the early afternoon after my morning spritz! Because within a few minutes of applying it to my wrist, I found myself really enjoying the soft musky floral I was left with. I guess I should have learned my lesson by now, that perfumes are so individual and need to sink in with my own skin. I felt like it was really bold and was going to be overpowering. When I first took a sniff, I must say I didn’t like it right away. It looks oh-so-modern and fabulous sitting on my vanity counter. It has notes of Bulgarian rose, raspberry, pink pepper, saffron, Madagascar Vanilla, Patchouli, Vetiver, Jasmine and Magnolia, which is a pretty impressive line up! Housed in a chic glass bottle with an shiny red bow top. Modern Muse Le Rouge is Estee Lauder’s latest version of Modern Muse, described as capturing your “glamour, sophistication and bravado”. ![]() I mean, I even wanted to try this fragrance from the just the commercial (though I’m definitely not a twenty something, I’m soon to no longer be a thirty something!) I will say the campaign surrounding this fragrance is pretty brilliant the hot, new “it” face of Estee Lauder, and younger Kardashian, has appealed to a new audience and given Estee Lauder a little edginess. I’m sure by now you’ve seen one of the many Kendall Jenner commercials, showcasing Estee Lauder Modern Muse Le Rouge, showing a bold and confident Kendall walking across the street to LaBelle’s Lady Marmalade in a striking red dress with lips to match.
