Yves Saint Laurent Muse is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2026, created by Marie Salamagne. Muse opens with Lavender, Frankincense, and Clary Sage, settles into a heart of Orris and Ambrette, and dries down to a base of Oak, Oud, Vanilla, and Ink. Yves Saint Laurent's Muse carries a Statement verdict, an aromatic-led wear.

This one's a true enigma, a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. It's not for everyone, but if you're after something truly individual, Muse delivers mystery in spades.

About

Muse opens with an intriguing aromatic blend of lavender and clary sage, given an ancient edge by frankincense. Soon, a cool, almost mineralic heart emerges, grounded by the earthy sophistication of orris and a subtle muskiness from ambrette. The dry down is where the real magic happens: a deep, inky accord blends with dark oud and oak, softened by a whisper of vanilla, creating a uniquely dark yet alluring presence.
