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 an Acquired verdict, a white 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.

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.
