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.

Its airy and light nature makes it highly versatile for everyday wear, including the office, without being overwhelming. While adaptable for dates or casual outings, its understated elegance might be less impactful for formal events where bolder scents shine.

About

Muse opens with a bright burst of tangerine and bergamot, a zesty welcome that quickly introduces a prominent, clean musk. The heart blossoms with delicate jasmine, a white floral note that feels free-spirited rather than overpowering. As it settles, a soft vanilla note offers a sweet counterpoint, all grounded by a smooth, barely-there sandalwood base. It's a fresh, airy composition, like Valaya's ethereal little sister.
