About This Perfume
Modern Muse Nuit by Estée Lauder is a Oriental Woody fragrance for women. Modern Muse Nuit was launched in 2016. Top notes are Cassis and Mandarin Orange; middle notes are Chamomile, Heliotrope, Jasmine and Chinese Jasmine; base notes are Tonka Bean, Madagascar Vanilla, Patchouli, Sandalwood, Amber and Musk. Modern Muse Nuit is announced as an intoxicating scent that embodies the mystery, glamour and sensuality of a night to remember. Inspired by intrigue and the "noir" theme, the new fragrance explores the deeper and darker side of the original. The floral - woody - oriental composition combines sophisticated floral tones with creamy woods as a contrasting accord. A "Hypnotic florals accord" contains flowers and berries. The fragrance opens with mandarin and blackcurrant bud. Blue chamomile provides a deep botanical edge to jasmine absolute and Chinese sambac jasmine, all wrapped in creamy heliotrope. An "Addictive woods accord" balances refined woods with elegant, creamy sensuality. A sandalwood accord is mixed with the Clearwood ™ molecule, capturing the pure warmth of patchouli, tonka bean, vanilla from Madagascar, amber and musks. The face of the perfume is Kendall Jenner. The fragrance comes in a dark navy bottle with golden detailing, available as a 30, 50 and 100 ml Eau de Parfum with a make up line under the same name.
