Modern Muse Eau De Parfum is the first major perfume launch from Estee Lauder since 2003's Beyond Paradise. Once again I was drawn in by the advertising, the model in the campaign and the face of the fragrance is the stunning Arizona Muse (how apt is that name!) and I am delighted to say the fragrance doesn't disappoint .

My thoughts
Modern Muse is an absolutely beautiful and glamorous fragrance that sits perfectly within the Estee Lauder brand, the scent is powerful but not heady. I have had many Estee Lauder fragrances over the years and this reminded me a lot of one of my favourites - Dazzling Gold. It has the same richness and depth that exudes confidence and femininity and pure pleasure when wearing. Modern Muse is Jasmine heavy so if that is not a scent that appeals this perfume will most definitely not be for you. However, if you are searching for a sensual floral fragrance to take you into Autumn with a delicate base of warmth then this is well worth a visit.
