Muse

Muse by Yves Saint Laurent is a 2025 unisex release that builds a woody floral musk around an unusual trio: lavender, incense, and clary sage at the top. That opening is aromatic and slightly smoky, with the herbal bite of sage cutting through the sweetness of lavender. The heart shifts to orris, bourbon vanilla, and ambrette, creating a powdery, soft-focus iris effect that feels both vintage and modern. The base of ink and amberwood adds a dry, woody, slightly metallic edge that keeps the composition from becoming too sweet.

Collectors who appreciate iris-forward scents with a smoky twist will find this compelling. It suits those who wear fragrance for themselves rather than to please a room, and it works well in cool weather or evening settings. The balance of powdery iris and inky woods makes it a thoughtful addition to a collection that already includes classic YSL or niche iris fragrances. For anyone seeking a unisex scent that is both aromatic and subtly melancholic, Muse is worth sampling.

Yves Saint Laurent 2025年推出嘅中性香水 Muse，以木質花香麝香為基調。前調係薰衣草、乳香同鼠尾草，帶嚟芳香同微煙燻感，鼠尾草嘅草本氣息中和咗薰衣草嘅甜。中調轉為鳶尾、波本香草同黃葵，營造出粉嫩、柔焦嘅鳶尾效果，既復古又現代。基調嘅墨香同琥珀木添上乾燥木質同微金屬感，令成個香調唔會過甜。

呢支香適合鍾意鳶尾主導、帶煙燻感嘅收藏家。佢適合為自己而噴、唔係為討好別人嘅人，喺涼爽天氣或夜晚用就最啱。粉質鳶尾同墨感木質嘅平衡，令佢成為經典 YSL 或小眾鳶尾香水收藏中嘅 thoughtful 之選。想搵一支中性、芳香又帶點憂鬱感嘅香水，Muse 值得試。
