Muse

Muse by Xerjoff is an unisex eau de parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with leather, plum and white flowers, moves into davana, jasmine and labdanum and dries down to patchouli, amber, benzoin and raspberry. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.

Notes, explained

Opening

Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
Plum Dark, wine-like and slightly stewed. Autumnal.
White Flowers A blend of creamy white petals rather than one named flower.

Heart

Davana Odd and gorgeous — apricot jam, rum and dried herbs at once.
Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.

Dry-down

Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.
Raspberry Tart, jammy and slightly fuzzy. Very popular in modern sweet scents.
