Our initial thoughts on spraying Modern Muse were mostly - 'Oh that's really pretty ' - and it is. Described as sparkling florals over woods and musk this fragrance has a really light citrus opening, quickly moving onto the floral middle notes which include jasmine, honeysuckle (our chosen aroma of the week), tuberose and lily. From it's description we thought it may be a little cloying (as white florals ofter are), but no - it stays light and fresh and has a delicate feel about it.
Modern Muse was created by Harry Fremont and was launched in 2013. Given that other Estee Lauder fragrances like Cinnibar or Private Collection are big and bold this one is very safe by comparison, we're not sure it stands out from the crowd enough to appeal to those looking for a statement fragrance, but it is a charming aroma that easily spans all ages.
Lori's immediate reaction was that it very much reminded her of Valentino but without quite the same staying power, perhaps this is more of a brief afternoon tea than an all night party!
The younger members of our team think it would be suitable for them as an evening fragrance whilst the more experienced (read over 40!) amongst us would happily wear it any time. There is nothing offensive about this fragrance and you could happily purchase it as a gift for a relative, they might not rave about it, but I'll bank on them finishing the bottle and probably going back for more........
