The MUSE fragrance is inspired by powerful creatives, and Parfumeur Principal Maria Salamagne explores wood, bourbon, and powder elements when creating MUSE. Marie Salamagne speaks on the fragrance, noting “The ink reveals enigmatic woody notes, intimate and elegant smoky facets. It veils the skin in subtle, dark, metallic tones, slightly iris-y, earthy. For me, the ink takes on the colors of creativity and mystery. It stimulates the imagination."
