Who is Elijah Muse is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Raquel Bouris. Muse opens with Solar Notes, settles into a heart of Floral Notes and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Oud, and Ambroxan. Who is Elijah's Muse carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

Divisive and often disappointing, Muse tries to be a 'your skin but better' scent but ends up a metallic, synthetic ambroxan bomb for many. If you're lucky, you'll get a salty, warm skin-scent, but proceed with extreme caution and definitely don't blind buy.

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.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its moderate performance and 'skin scent' quality make it suitable for casual and office wear, though its synthetic nature might be polarising. The marine, salty vibe mentioned in some reviews also makes it a good fit for sport in warm weather.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Moss

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Muse opens with a sparkling, almost salty solar note, attempting to capture sun-kissed skin. A subtle floral heart of jasmine struggles to emerge, quickly giving way to a heavily synthetic base. Here, ambroxan dominates, melding with a dry, gritty musk and hints of amber and oud. There's a persistent woody, metallic undertone that defines its character.
