Muse by Yves Saint Laurent, released in 2025 and composed by Marie Salamagne, is an aromatic amber worn by anyone. Amber leads, with gourmand, green, musky and herbal facets in equal support.

It opens with lavender, incense and clary sage, a cool, herbal and softly smoky start, like a quiet chapel with an open window onto a herb garden. In the heart, ambrette brings a soft, slightly fruity musk, while Bourbon vanilla adds warmth and creaminess. The base is distinctive: an ink note lends a dry, mineral, almost inky-paper character, and amberwood a warm, radiant woody glow.

People report moderate to long longevity, and the trail is mostly moderate. It is voted for winter and autumn and leans towards the evening. Muse suits cool days, evenings out and creative settings, for someone who likes a refined lavender-vanilla with an intellectual, inky twist.

Muse — unisex fragrance by Yves Saint Laurent (released 2025). Top notes: Lavender, Incense, Clary Sage. Heart notes: Orris, Bourbon Vanilla, Ambrette. Base notes: Ink, Amberwood. — Parfica open fragrance database
