Evocative Unisex Fragrances

YSL Beauty MUSE Has Notes of Ink, Iris and Vanilla

The YSL Beauty MUSE fragrance has been launched by the brand as its latest unisex fragrance that's suited towards consumers who gravitate towards scents with subtle sweetness. The scent comes in 75ml and 125ml size options, and boasts notes of ink, iris and vanilla in the spotlight alongside wood, powder and bourbon elements that will offer a touch of drama. The fragrance responds to demand for scents with a fluid profile that don't skew too masculine or too feminine to work well for style preferences of all kinds.

Principal Perfumer Marie Salamagne spoke on the YSL Beauty MUSE fragrance saying, "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."
