The perfect bridal perfume!
This is my first xerjoff.

I am quite new to the NIschenwelt, and there you come across quite quickly this house and its legendary fragrances.

Now so present my first Xerjoff and namely Muse, which I received as the first fragrance within my perfume subscription that I have completed. A good way, imho, good and beautiful fragrances in high-quality small atomizers to receive and extensively wear.

Sometimes 8 ml is enough, then you are addicted and the bottle must be here! Sometimes you want to wear a perfume only on a special occasion and also for this such a subscription is perfect!

Here at Muse would probably be enough for me the 8 ml, because I see here no everyday fragrance for me, because I see this fragrance only on delicate girlish women and that's not me, I'm a dark woman. I do not see this fragrance as described as a tribute to strong feminist women, but rather to delicate elfin women. Whereas elfin women may also be strong feminists. This is not mutually exclusive!

Now to the special occasion.

With this fragrance I see before me a wedding in the spring, because for me Muse is the perfect bridal scent.

A fragrance that a bride wears on a not too hot day in May, in a beautiful garden, with very well-kept lawn, wrapped in an airy vintage dress with lace and small flowers in the hair. The hair curly slightly pinned and the flowers braided in it.

The bride wears a bouquet of white, pink and blue flowers.
In addition, she wears a pair of high pumps that peek out from under the dress of pink suede.

Bridesmaids scatter flowers on the path the bride strides along! Left and right people line her path and at the end of the path waits the beloved!

I see all this and this on a delicate girlish elf-like bride.
Right here I see this fragrance as the perfect complement for a perfect day!
Or even in everyday life to exactly the described type of woman!
The fragrance is bright and light. Perfect for spring!
Unisex I do not find him! For men, except delicate feminine androgynous male types he is difficult to wear!

Since I do not plan to marry soon I will use up the fragrance or vllt Versouken, because on me I do not see him. Nevertheless, I was curious about a Xerjoff and hope in this house determined still what portable for me to find. Vllt Opera or something from the Oud Stars!

Sweet fruity aromas
Yummy ! I find him delicious !

I can somehow understand the gummy bear association. But I have to say I have no problem spraying this gummy bear juice on.
Actually I really enjoy it !

It is sweetness combined with spice; floral and fruit overload (slightly subtle leather notes).

I had to have MUSE and love and wear it often!

A bright, friendly black!
This is my first review here, I'll do my best to give a proper review of Muse to do it justice.

WOW!
That probably sums up my first spray of this fragrance best.
Fruity notes that tend to be dark, leather and a sweet spiciness in the base.
It stays like this for about 5 minutes.
It knocks you off your feet. This fragrance is a lot and not for everyone, for sure.
Later it becomes less "dense" which I find very pleasant. I find the sillage stronger than that of Erba Pura.
You can still smell the Muse after a while in the room and it definitely stands out from the mass of fragrances among people, but it is not as intrusive as the Erba Pura.
It is less frivolous and that makes it stand out. It knows how to take a step back in terms of "volume" because it offers significantly more depth.

I can understand why some people say the Muse is too feminine for him as a man. I say it needs the right type of man, but I can also understand that the Muse is not everyone's cup of tea. For me, who is almost always dressed in black and business attire, I find it perfect in summer.

For me as a layman, a very successful fragrance that I really like. It is what I miss in Pura and I also see potential for this fragrance to become "my fragrance".
I would like to think it suits everyone who wants to complement a rather dark but friendly charisma.

For me, it will be my office fragrance for the next few weeks, replacing Naxos. It has a similar deep sweetness but with dark fruits. It makes my black goth heart very happy!

For me, beautiful but feminine and the performance leaves a lot to be desired
I really like the Muse in and of itself, but as a man, I ultimately see this fragrance more on a woman. To my great surprise, it doesn't last longer than 5 to 6 hours on my skin. At least the sillage is okay, especially at the beginning.

The top note starts very sweet, gourmand and fruity. I recognize raspberries and grape sugar from grapes, just like my Croatian relatives make it themselves. There is also a hint of cherry and dried plum in the background. The heart note remains sweet with white flowers. I mainly recognize jasmine blossoms and tuberose. Davana underpins this impression of dried plum. The base continues to smell sweet with hints of ambergris, benzoin and bourbon vanilla. A hint of cassis also resonates here.

I think this is my first XerJoff that is weak in performance, but that could also be due to my skin. Thanks to Nick for the bottling.

Plummy indolic leather with a weird unripe raspberry finish…
This scent starts off with a burst of sweet caramelised plum, that has a sharpness similar to the taste of plum skin with the fleshy softness of leather. The tart plum skin and leather give this composition a huge sillage at the start. This lasts for about 30 minutes, the scent bubble then contracts significantly. The emergence of the indolic jasmin comes through and lies close to the skin. My partner had to sit his nose upon my skin after the 2hr mark to really smell the fragrance. Only the light plum notes could be detected from arms length. I had first acquired a sample, then moved on to a 10ml decant as the sample grabbed my attention but I wished to play with it a little longer. I am glad I stayed by buying hand, as this is not worth the hefty price tag. The performance is meh, I can still detect it faintly on my inner elbow and I over sprayed (by my standards (3 sprays on each elbow)) 4 hours after applying. I hope the other offerings from the Velvet line are much better in performance, to only be able to faintly detect this after 4 hours is shocking IMO. It maybe my skin, or the creams I used to moisturise (fragrance free cerave), but the performance on a strip is worse. It is detectable for many many hours after first application but only as a skin scent or if I inserted the strip into my nostril. Definitely worth a sniff as it is a joyful, sensual experience, absolutely not worth a bottle.
The most absurd part of this composition and the part that lets it down the most is the dry down. The raspberry sticks out like a sore thumb, not juicy but green and unripe, sharp, tart and undesirable. Thankfully, this is not detectable unless you are up close and personal with the scent. My scent rating remains high because the opening and the mid are so perfect, so inviting, even though their presence is short lived.

Boozy open that turns into a feminine bubblegum floral w/ a tolerable leather. Poor sillage, not expecting good longevity. Spring-fall.

Romantic floral, slightly fruity leathery scent, totally feminine, for spring & summer. Like a less fruity erba pura with white flowers.
