Xerjoff Muse is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Émilie Bouge. Muse opens with Leather and Plum, settles into a heart of Davana, Jasmine, and Labdanum, and dries down to a base of Amber, Patchouli, Benzoin, and Raspberry. Xerjoff's Muse carries an Acquired verdict, a fruity-led wear.

Muse is a divisive beast: some hail it as a unique, sexy powerhouse, a 'plum wine' with incredible longevity; others find it overwhelmingly sweet, headache-inducing, and reminiscent of Lush. It's certainly not a safe blind buy, so sample before you splurge.

Given its 'beast mode' performance, potent sweetness, and strong projection, Muse is far too intense for office or casual daytime wear. It truly shines for dressier evening events or romantic encounters where its bold, sensual character can be appreciated without overwhelming a room.

About

Muse opens with an immediate hit of opulent, jammy plum and bright raspberry, deepened by a sleek leather that's more suede than saddle. White floral jasmine weaves through the fruity sweetness, gradually ceding to a rich, resinous base of amber and benzoin, with a grounding whisper of earthy patchouli. It evokes a dark, luxurious fruit compote with an edgy, sophisticated twist.
