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. It lasts about 6 to 10 hours on skin, fills a room and is best in autumn and winter. Xerjoff's Muse carries a Statement 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.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the pyramid as published, not a timing claim. The notes evaporate together, at speeds set by their vapour pressure (from ScentPrism). Each ribbon shows the note's share of what is left on the skin, which tracks how strongly it smells, because odour thresholds rise with vapour pressure. The shares come from how prominent wearers vote each note. It is a simple model, not a measurement.

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.
