Try House of Fraser, Harrods or John Lewis. Have a try and see what you think.Įstee Lauder Modern Muse Le Rouge is widely available. To me, this smells like Armani Si, which I also found generic, so no barriers have been broken here. However, this uninspiring base is apparently, a “seductive crème accord” which sadly left me wanting my coffee back with no sugar.Įstee Lauder is a brand I love and for under fifty quid I could happily bag a classic from their counter. Modern Muse Chic had all that plus the oudh, but Modern Muse Le Rouge seems to have gone down the crowd pleasing route. Modern Muse had its big white flowers and patchouli/musk base. The base combines vanilla with the red berries and the pink pepper which immediately made this smell generic to me. I was kind of hoping that train had left the station, but it would seem there are leaves on the line and the carriage is staying put. Base notes are patchouli, vetiver, madagascar vanilla and ambrette. Middle notes are Bulgarian rose, may rose, jasmine and magnolia petals. Top notes are redcurrant, raspberry, pink pepper and saffron. This bedded down into two notes that I think have been overused in the past two years: pink pepper and red berries, (specifically redcurrants). Estee Lauder Modern Muse Rouge Eau de Parfum Spray fragrance is an oriental floral fragrance. Its a good strong opening with deep resonance. My first impression was a mish mash of floral with a bit of patchouli. Modern Muse Le Rouge is in a similar bottle to the other two, with a smart red bow. This feels like the second time this week I’ve said “meh” about a new mainstream scent (the first was Clinique Aromatics in Black), but truly, nothing much has excited me at the beauty counter for a while now. Modern Muse Chic was pretty good too, with its dewdrop of oudh heating it up. So if you’re looking for a fragrance that says “Bask in my female awesomeness” this is the one for you.I love Estee Lauder Modern Muse. The beauty of the entire Modern Muse collection is that each fragrance smells completely unique on every individual wearer but this version has a universal, sensual creaminess that lasts for hours and that’s guaranteed to be noticed. It steps away from the “been there, done that” fruitiness of standard “youthful” fragrances by balancing out the sweetness with the saffron and pink that give it a sophistication and ambrette seed that adds a skin-like muskiness. It’s sweeter and clearly aiming at a younger consumer with stereotypical vanilla meringue notes but with its grownup floral heart and underlying spicy warmth, the scent in my opinion is ageless. This is a big departure from the traditional “old school ” Estée Lauder we all know and love. The Velvet Cream Accord combines Madagascar Vanilla, amber, vetiver, patchouli, magnolia and jasmine. The Ripened Roses Accord brings together Bulgarian Rose, Rose Centafolia, Bourgeon de Cassis, raspberry, pink pepper and saffron. With two contrasting, yet compatible accords, this “dual impression” scent is a little different to the usual top, heart, base notes structure. As the ultimate fashion and social media muse for millenials, she debuts in her first-ever fragrance campaign, taking the fragrance to bold new territories. Model of the moment, Kendall Jenner, is the muse for this instalment of the Modern Muse saga. She inspires by being noticed- and she never goes unnoticed,” revealed Karyn Khoury, Senior Vice President, Corporate Fragrance Development Worldwide, The Estée Lauder Companies, as we sat down during her latest trip to Dubai. A woman who is daring, confident in an overt way with a sense of bravado. “ Modern Muse Le Rouge is a celebration of a different form of inspiration. And now Estée Lauder are taking it one step further by showing you what red smells like. Whether it’s a slick of crimson lipstick or the perfect stiletto shoe, nothing says “Im here” better than a killer shade of red.
