Fragrance Composition
Opening Notes
Muse begins with a blend of incense, Ourika lavender, and clary sage. Incense imparts a smoky character, Ourika lavender offers a burst of aromatic freshness, and clary sage introduces a subtle herbal nuance. The arrangement sets a clear and confident stage for the unfolding scent.
The Heart of the Fragrance
At its center, orris concrete, ambrette absolute, and Bourbon vanilla absolute emerge with precision. Orris concrete lends a powdery quality with a touch of buttery warmth. Ambrette absolute contributes a soft musk that enriches the experience. Bourbon vanilla absolute rounds out this section with a measured warmth and a balanced, inviting sweetness.
The Lasting Base
An ink accord forms the core of Muse, integrating notes of wood, a whisper of smoke, and hints of metallic detail. Ambery woods support this foundation by providing a consistent warmth and definition. The result is a fragrance that leaves a distinct and memorable impression.
The Inspiration Behind Muse
Muse pays tribute to the figures who influenced Yves Saint Laurent’s creative journey. Artists, actors, and models who embodied self-assurance and individual style have left their mark on the designer’s work. This perfume mirrors their refined elegance through a composition where every note reflects a facet of their identity. The scent serves as a gateway to the artistic world that defined Yves Saint Laurent’s vision.
Bottle Design and Presentation
The bottle design mirrors the spirit of the fragrance with careful attention to every detail. An angled silhouette coupled with subtle reflections speaks to a modern aesthetic grounded in simplicity. A textured black label paired with a matching cap features a motif reminiscent of a favored fabric, reinforcing the brand’s signature style. The visual presentation stands as a tribute to Yves Saint Laurent’s commitment to clarity and sophistication.
