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.
