Estée Lauder Modern Muse Chic is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014. Modern Muse Chic opens with Plum and Artemisia, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Tuberose, and Lily, and dries down to a base of Cashmere Wood, Musk, and Patchouli. Estée Lauder's Modern Muse Chic carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

A divisive floral woody musk that either strikes you as a sophisticated, versatile crowd-pleaser or a screechy, old-fashioned scrubber. If you loved the original Modern Muse and fancy something with more depth, it's worth a sniff, but proceed with caution.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Modern Muse Chic opens with a sweet plum balanced by the green, slightly bitter kick of artemisia. The heart unfolds into a rich bouquet of white florals, with jasmine, lily, and a prominent tuberose, sometimes described as creamy, sometimes as sharp. The drydown settles into a comforting blend of musky cashmere wood and earthy patchouli, with an underlying animalic quality that some find alluring and others, well, just a bit off.
