Descripción
Modern Muse by Estée Lauder is a musky floral woody fragrance for women. Launched in 2013, this composition was created by Harry Fremont and Olivier Cresp. The top note presents the freshness of mandarin; the heart unfolds sambac jasmine, Chinese jasmine, lily of the valley, honeysuckle, flower petals, and neroli; while the base settles on musk, woody notes, patchouli, patchouli leaves, amber, and Madagascar vanilla.

I have my theory: the projection is rather humble. The atomiser sprays jets but doesn’t disperse the scent over a great distance. If you bring your nose close, it smells strong, but the projection is zero. Then, it’s a bit generic, yet modern and… not bad.
I was expecting a miracle given the advertising and my love for the brand, but upon smelling it, it was like any other perfume: nothing to highlight, lacking elegance. Basically, it smells of wood and is soft, but not in a good way; it’s almost imperceptible. It leaves no lasting impression, let alone meeting my expectations.
Given the advertising and because I adore the brand, I expected much more. And upon trying it, it seems like any other perfume, with nothing to highlight or elegance. Basically, it smells of wood and soft (but not in a good way, almost imperceptible). Nothing to remember, and far less that it fulfilled my expectations.
Super feminine fragrance, soft with that enchanting floral musky touch. The jasmine and wild orchid shine, but the lily truly takes the lead, very intense. Amber and vanilla give it that perfect sweetness, though I can’t detect any patchouli at all. Ideal for young girls, aged 15 to 25, and for days that aren’t stiflingly hot.

Simplistic and short-lasting. The saleswoman offered it to me as a jewel, the brand’s novelty, even saying it had technology and practically mutated. Well, she applied it and the scent didn’t seem pleasant or spectacular to me; I waited for it to change (mutate) into something better and all that happened was that it disappeared. Neither here nor there, a bad perfume, plus I remember it was priced high; I wouldn’t buy it for the love of it, worse than a knock-off perfume.
Simplistic and not long-lasting. The saleswoman sold it to me as a jewel, the brand’s novelty, which even had technology, claiming it practically mutated. Well, I put it on and the scent didn’t seem at all pleasant or spectacular; I waited for it to change (mutate) into something better and the only thing that happened was that it disappeared. Neither here nor there, a bad perfume, besides I remember it was expensive, I wouldn’t buy it for the life of me, worse than an imitation perfume.
This modern muse turned out to be rather timid and simple: the scent is not unpleasant, but it has a note that makes it smell a bit obsolete; it is not magnetic or seductive, it is similar to many other fragrances flooding the market… I would place it in the category of a boring musk-floral. Its sillage is very limited, its longevity precarious… in my opinion, it is highly not recommended.
It is a pleasant, soft fragrance, but nothing special that makes it stand out. Common and of short duration on my skin. Expensive for what it offers.
This modern muse feels a bit flat and plain: it smells nice enough, but has a touch that makes it feel outdated, nothing magnetic or seductive, resembling dozens of fragrances already saturating the market… I’d categorise it as a boring musk-floral. Its trail is minimal and its longevity precarious… in my opinion, I wouldn’t recommend it.
It smells pleasant, quite soft, floral and musky; I also detect wild musk. It is modern, yes, but the projection is quite low, in other words, this perfume doesn’t tell me anything, no matter how much I want to give it a chance… It is expensive for what it offers. I imagined it to be in the style of L’Extase or Sì by Giorgio Armani, but no, nothing like that… The one I want to try is Modern Muse Le Rouge.
It smells very delicious and the bottle is very pretty, but it lacks strength; it is too weak, suggests nothing, and no one remembers it. It lasts on my skin around an hour… or less.
I owned it a while back and it was one of those disappointing purchases. It doesn’t smell bad, the truth is the aroma is pleasant, but nothing spectacular to my taste. It smells floral and woody, yet very linear; it doesn’t change from the moment I apply it until it stops projecting. The longevity is an hour and a half on my skin and the sillage is very poor, only right up against the skin. I wore it for the day but had to reapply it several times because it faded instantly. It smells clean and fresh, and that’s all. I wouldn’t buy it again.
I owned it some time ago and it was one of those disappointing purchases. It doesn’t smell bad, truth be told, the aroma is nice but nothing spectacular to my taste. It smells floral and woody, but very linear; it doesn’t change from the moment I apply it until it stops projecting. The longevity was an hour and a half on my skin and the sillage very poor, only right up against the skin. I used it daily but had to reapply it several times because it vanished quickly. It smells clean and fresh, and that’s all. I wouldn’t buy it again.
The worst from Lauder. To a house with masterpieces like Estée Lauder, one demands respect, not from its clients, but from its own history. Lauder is the perfect fusion between French mastery and American simplicity, a firm that unites those worlds respecting that concept: slow, worked-out launches, with care, unique and not following trends. To me, it is the younger sister of the great French houses that are increasingly further away (Guerlain, Chanel, Dior, Saint Laurent). A Lauder perfume is usually a safe bet for quality due to its longevity and personality. Aromatics Elixir, Youth Dew, Pleasures, Cinnabar, White Linen, Aromatics in White, even Happy (though I don’t like citrus scents), are fragrances that tell a story and convey integrity. They all come to stay; they are not products to last five seasons and disappear. In Modern Muse I see none of this. It is a generic, weak scent, a fragrance that asks permission not to bother, not to make noise. And even so, it doesn’t tell you anything. There are perfumes enjoyed up against the skin, intimate, and yet magnificent. This Modern Muse wants to be nothing; it has no ambition. It simply tells you you’ve already smelled it in countless places. If Modern Muse is irrelevant, the latest version, Modern Muse Le Rouge Gloss, is infinitely worse. It is not only disappointing that Lauder entered the flanker game, so vulgar, so shoddy, so garrulous of a fashion house. The worst is that it is a nauseating aberration of what is currently in style in women’s perfumery. A pity to see Lauder copying others. It was never like this.

It is not only disappointing that Lauder has entered the game of flankers, so vulgar, so shoddy, so typical of loud fashion houses. The worst part is that it is a nauseating aberration of what is currently in style in women’s perfumery. A pity to see Lauder copying others. It was never like that.
I absolutely love Modern Muse; it sticks and stays with me all day. It’s sensual, feminine, and intense, where Sambac jasmine takes the lead before settling elegantly with amber and vanilla. For me, those three notes really stand out. When I wore it, I felt like I was walking surrounded by beautiful jasmine blooms. In my opinion, it smells similar to Narciso Rodríguez for Her and Sarah Jessica Parker’s Lovely. Rating 8/10.
I’ll say it, but at least it doesn’t smell like those over-saturated gourmand fruit bombs out there. For an Estée Lauder scent, I was expecting something more.
Fresh and woody, it smells distinct from the competition and truly sets itself apart.
I remember the first time I tried it and I loved it; I saved up to buy it, and it was a great disappointment. It usually lasts nothing on my skin; I think at most an hour or half. People around me don’t smell it, and I even less so. If I apply more, it becomes very strong and I get completely dizzy; I can’t resist the intensity. Besides, two sales assistants said it’s for older people; I don’t know what to think, but in my opinion young girls and ladies can use it. In short, I would never buy it again. To be my first perfume from a recognised brand, it left me totally disappointed, so expensive and the scent lasts absolutely nothing.
I remember the first time I tried it and I loved it, until I bought it and it was a huge disappointment. It rarely lasts anything on my skin; I think the maximum is an hour and a half. People around me don’t smell it, and I certainly don’t. If I apply more, it becomes strong and makes me dizzy; I can’t stand the intensity. Furthermore, two sales assistants said it was for older people, but in my opinion, young girls or older ladies can wear it. In short, I would never buy it again. As my first perfume from a recognised brand, it left me totally disappointed: so expensive and its scent lasts absolutely nothing.
I love Estée Lauder perfumes: floral, feminine, and fresh. Tired of smelling sweet and cloying things, when I was given a sample of Modern Muse, it was a joy. I don’t agree with those who say florals are for older people; tastes break down gender and age barriers. I’ve received many compliments, even from men. On me, it lasts about seven hours; not much compared to other fragrances, but it depends on pH. On me it lasts seven hours, on others four. It’s a simple perfume, very floral, with jasmine predominating. I don’t feel the tangerine, but in the woody notes I note a touch of pepper. I use it all year round.
I love all Estée Lauder perfumes: floral, feminine and fresh. Tired of smelling sweet and cloying things, when I was given a sample of Modern Muse it was a joy. I don’t agree with those who say florals are for older people; it’s like saying those who like sweet things are childish. Tastes break down genres and ages. I’ve received many compliments, even from men. It lasts about seven hours on me; it’s not much compared to others, but it depends on everyone’s pH. A simple perfume, very floral, with jasmine predominating. I don’t detect the mandarin, but in the woody notes I notice a touch of pepper. I wear it all year round.
I agree with those who say it resembles Narciso Rodriguez for Her EDT (95% to my nose). Although it’s a pleasant and clean scent, on my skin it only lasts a couple of hours, at least more than the NR. If you catch it on offer, it’s half price, but due to its poor longevity and sillage, I don’t think I’ll buy it again.
It’s a very rich, feminine, and elegant perfume. But on my skin, it lasts nothing; at best two hours. I used it and finished it, but I wouldn’t buy it again.
I find it a bit strong, suitable for a mature woman, perhaps over 30. I liked it, but didn’t love it. Generally, I buy perfumes for any occasion, but I felt this one was for evening events. It’s not for everyone, so I recommend asking for a tester in the shopping centre beforehand.
Quality and art in perfume! I’m a collector and buy blind. I bought it in kamikaze mode; I hate patchouli and here is that note x2… I’m not regretting my bravery! At first, it enveloped me in white flowers, jasmine, and fresh orange blossom, like a freshly watered garden. I thought it was for daytime or temperate climates, something summery. After two hours, it changes almost 100%: wood, amber, and bitter tangerine. THERE IS NO PATCHOULI! It resembles Basi’s In Red, becoming nocturnal, formal, and sexy. That’s where the quality and art show, that unfolding of notes you don’t find in cheap perfumes. What a wonder! I love being surprised like this. The longevity is good, around 8-12 hours. Great sillage at first, then more intimate and sensual.
Quality and artistry in perfume! I’m a collector and buy blind; I bought this in kamikaze mode because I hate patchouli and it’s listed twice… and I have no regrets! At first, it enveloped me in white flowers, jasmine and fresh bergamot, like a freshly watered garden. I thought it was for daytime or mild climates, just another summer freshie. After two hours, it changes almost 100%: it becomes wood and amber, the mandarin emerges (more bitter than citrus), and to my delight, THERE IS NO PATCHOULI! It resembles Bvlgari’s In Red; now it’s nocturnal, formal and sexy. That’s where the quality and artistry show, that unfolding of notes you don’t find in cheap perfumes. What a wonder! I love being surprised like this. The longevity is good, around 8-12 hours. Great sillage at first, then more intimate, which is why it feels so sensual.
A great disappointment. It’s complex yet linear, hardly changing since application, which annoyed me. From the start, it was unpleasant to me. It’s not ‘for ladies’ as they say; it’s very subjective. It has a repellent or insecticide note, very chemical and disruptive. I don’t recommend buying it blindly; it’s not for everyone. It doesn’t match its name: there’s no muse and it’s not modern. It’s hard to hate a perfume and this is one. It’s not well balanced, not fresh, neither floral nor feminine. I find it repulsive and nothing like cleanliness. I recommend testing it first, on your skin and your mother’s (on her florals dry sweeter); it smells quite bad.
I tried this fragrance and didn’t notice the tangerine at first; rather, I sensed something floral in the heart, though weak. It finishes with vanilla and musk, also faint. It smells romantic, like those paintings of a virginal lady and gentleman. It’s not for me as I’m looking for something strong and noticeable; besides, it doesn’t last long and you need to carry a refill. It’s a fine, quality scent, but very expensive with no price drop.
One of my favourites. It smells of white florals with an amber touch and very little citrus. It’s delicious for an elegant woman in the morning. It lasts a long time; even the next day it becomes more woody and sweet. It’s very similar to Narciso Rodriguez’s Her, especially in the dry down.
One of my favourite perfumes. It’s a white floral scent, barely citrusy and very ambered. Smells deliciously like an elegant woman in the morning. It lasts for many hours; I can even detect it the next day, though it becomes more woody and sweet. It compares well with Narciso Rodriguez For Her and yes, it’s very similar, especially in the dry down.
Oliver Cresp remains a total hit; it never fails. It’s a gem that blends creamy, citrusy, and sweet notes all at once. Honestly, I’m completely enchanted and even hypnotised by it.
