Muse

by Marie Salamagne

Yves Saint Laurent Muse is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Marie Salamagne. Muse opens with Lavender, Clary Sage, and Incense, settles into a heart of Orris, Ambrette, and Vanilla, and dries down to a base of Ink and Amberwood. Yves Saint Laurent's Muse carries an Acquired verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

This one's a proper grower, mind. Initial spray can be a bit 'what's that?', with that bold ink note making an entrance. But give it time, and it blossoms into something seriously sophisticated and addictive. Not a safe blind buy, but for those who get it, it's signature scent material. Some say it's too thick, others find it light as air - divisive, but with a loyal following.

About

Imagine strolling through an old, luxurious library - that's Muse. It kicks off with an aromatic burst of lavender and clary sage, quickly followed by a striking, almost photorealistic ink accord that’s both intriguing and slightly edgy. As it dries, a creamy, powdery orris emerges, softened by a gorgeous, not-too-sweet vanilla and hints of ambrette. The amberwood then grounds it all, creating a smooth, mysterious finish that lingers beautifully.
