Muse by Yves Saint Laurent is a 2025 eau de parfum, smoky and a little resinous rather than a straightforward vanilla floral. Clary sage and incense open it dry, with lavender keeping the top sharp rather than soft. Ambrette and bourbon vanilla warm the heart, and orris adds a powdery, cool undertone beneath the sweetness. The base holds amberwood and a distinct ink note, giving the whole thing a modern edge instead of a classic vanilla finish. It's unisex, and it suits anyone who wants sweetness with some edge to it rather than something purely soft. Voters keep it for autumn and winter, worn through the day and into the evening. Wearers mark this one long-lasting on skin, with sillage staying at moderate. A 3ml decant is enough to live with it through a week of shorter days.

The community verdict
Muse opens with clary sage and incense, moves through orris and bourbon vanilla, then settles into ink and amberwood. Most find it long-lasting, with moderate projection. Its subdued style suits autumn days best, while winter and evenings work too.

The house
More from Yves Saint Laurent
Yves Saint Laurent opened as a French couture house in 1961 and added perfume to its work in 1964. The scents have a taste for contrast. Sweet coffee and vanilla sit on one side of the range, cool lavender, bergamot and geranium on the other, with cedar and vetiver keeping both grounded. Black Opium is where most people begin: a dark, sugary coffee accord smoothed with vanilla. Libre sets white flowers against lavender and citrus, crisp and a little severe. Y Eau de Parfum is the fresh, aromatic pick over woods, and Opium Pour Homme is warmer, softly spiced and powdery with a dry, herbal twist.
