Estée Lauder Modern Muse is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Olivier Cresp and Harry Frémont. Modern Muse opens with Mandarin, settles into a heart of Floral, Jasmine, Tuberose, and Lily, and dries down to a base of Woody, Musk, Amber, and Patchouli. Estée Lauder's Modern Muse carries a Favourite verdict, a white floral-led wear.

Modern Muse is a floral white musk that, for most, offers a clean, elegant, and versatile experience. Some find it a bit too safe, even bordering on forgettable, but its mass appeal and office-friendliness are undeniable. Think 'professional chic' rather than 'groundbreaking art'.

About

Imagine a fresh spritz of mandarin, quickly giving way to a lush bouquet of white florals - jasmine, lily, and honeysuckle, all blooming beautifully. It’s uplifted by a clean, airy musk, with a subtle woody and ambery foundation that grounds the scent. There’s a touch of patchouli, but it's well-behaved, blending harmoniously without dominating the elegant floral heart.
