Muse

Muse opens with a honeyed peach that sparkles—aldehydes lifting it into something almost luminous—before bergamot threads through. The heart unfolds into a dense, creamy white-floral bower: tuberose and gardenia lean heavy, ylang-ylang adds a faintly fleshy sweetness, while jasmine and rose ground the bloom in complexity. Underneath, amber and vanilla warm the base, leather adding a subtle rasp, sandalwood and benzoin softening the whole thing into a skin-like musk that feels intimate rather than loud. It's neither fresh nor strictly sweet—something caught between floral opulence and a quietly animalic finish.
