Estee Lauder Modern Muse Le Rouge Review

Be daring. Be an inspiration.

Experience the fragrance that captures your glamour, your sophistication, your bravado.

A sexy, provocative contrast of two distinctively different accords—rich roses awakened by ripe fruit, with a seductive velvet creme accord—provide an intriguing dual impression. It's a true innovation in fragrance design, as complex and fascinating as the woman who inspires it.

Warm and sweet

I got a mini bottle of this in a collectible set of modern muse minis and this is probably my favourite one out of the three. Its bottle is gorgeous and I love the combination of gold and red on the lid with the blush pink perfume.

This is a very warm and sweet perfume perfect for this chilly weather right now. Its scent slightly reminds me of Vera Wang's princess night in terms of the warmth and fullness. When I wear it I smell vanilla, some sort of berry/fruit and strangely a hint of mint. I think the mint really makes it pop and adds a bit of freshness right at the end. After a few hours it seems to get a bit more flowery. The staying power is great and lasts easily for a whole day.

I looked into getting a bigger bottle but the price is a little off putting. It's even more expensive than the likes of Marc jacobs and juicy couture. Maybe I'll buy it as a treat?

Passable on my skin

I received this for Christmas 2015 and I really wanted to love it because the gifter assumed that since I liked the original Modern Muse I'd like this one. Alas it's not the kind of smellie for me. I was given the gift set which comes with a 50ml EDP.

The bottle has the gorgeous trimmings of typical Estee Lauder packaging, simple but elegant. I don't like that the nozzle is exposed but that's just me being a fuss pot and based on my experience with the original it doesn't actually impact on the fragrance. I still prefer the traditional lids - ones that you pull off.

When I first spritzed it, I could smell an element of the original Modern Muse mixed with some sort of floral concoction that my senses just wasn't buying into. To me the scent is passable - several of my family and friends love it but I don't really reach for it as much as I should.

The dry down is what confuses me the most and I'm starting to think it has more to do with the chemistry of the fragrance on my skin as opposed to the actual product. The dry down reminds me of a musky male scent - and I don't know about you but that's not how I want to smell.

The sillage and staying power is amazing (much better that the original) and I would hope so for the kind of price you're paying as well as it being EDP. Given the chance, I would pick the original over this version of Modern Muse.

Tips: If you're visiting a counter - check out the different versions available, as you're bound to find one that suits you.

Modern Muse The Red

I got this because the farmers reward voucher I had was burning a hole in my pocket. And having just earned another voucher I decided to treat myself to it. The perfume itself comes in three sizes 30ml, 50ml and 100ml all with their varying price tags, I got the 30ml simply because I have so many perfumes at present and I couldn't say no to one more.

The bottle is rectangular when face on but looking top down is a long rectangle with 1/2 rounds at each end. It fits in the hand easily for spraying. The contents of this glass bottle are like a pale coral pink/orange so you can easily see how much is left in the bottle. There is no lid to be removed on this the sprayer is built into the top, it is unmovable so you don't have to look at where the sprayer is before using. It has plastic looped out on each side that is supposed to look like a ribbon, while this does look pretty in the pictures, in real life the more I look at it the cheaper it starts to feel in my mind anyway.

The first time I used it was the tester sprayed on by the assistant at farmers about 3.30 in the afternoon, I was still smelling the test spray at 10pm that night and again at 1am when I checked. The opening notes on spraying came out with a light fruity more floral scent this finished after about 20-30 minutes and then into the heart of the scent which is very floral. Nine hours later I am still smelling the florals of the scent. This little baby has stay power on 2 sprays. This stay power has repeated with every other time I have used it. Pricey? yes at $112 for a 30ml bottle, double point days and vouchers are the best way to save up or buy this. The stay power makes it more economical.

I started writing this review the day I got this perfume which is why I could put in the times that I checked it and had it sprayed.

Tips: The Farmers person that served me was great I told her that I normally wore fruity florals, she knew immediately which would be appropriate and had me smell them on card first for the right on and then once I had settled on one sprayed my wrist and encouraged me to wear it in to see if I would like it.
