YSL Beauty returns to its iconic Le Vestiaire des Parfums collection with the launch of MUSE, a new unisex fragrance that channels the brand’s deep-rooted artistic heritage. This latest olfactory creation is a celebration of the muses who inspired Yves Saint Laurent’s enigmatic fashion vision—now reinterpreted in scent form.
Crafted by Parfumeur Principal Marie Salamagne, MUSE blends ink, iris, and vanilla into a soft yet compelling formula. The fragrance opens with woody and smoky undertones, evolving into powdery and slightly metallic hints that leave an unforgettable impression. According to Salamagne, the ink note brings out “enigmatic woody notes, intimate and elegant smoky facets,” capturing the essence of creativity and mystery.
Tinted in soft purple, the fragrance bottle evokes a subtle sense of nostalgia while projecting modern refinement. Available in both 75ml and 125ml sizes, MUSE invites wearers to embrace its complex character—earthy, floral, and unexpectedly sensual.
A Sensory Explosion on Skin
What sets MUSE apart is its unique ability to combine delicate balance with dramatic projection. Bourbon and wood components heighten its richness, while the vanilla adds a hint of warmth that softens the darker notes. Upon application, the scent transforms dynamically, leaving behind an artistic trace that feels both personal and universally intriguing.
As part of the Le Vestiaire des Parfums line, MUSE continues YSL’s tradition of linking fragrance to fashion, emotion, and narrative. It doesn’t just smell good—it tells a story, echoing the imaginative energy that surrounded Yves Saint Laurent and the muses who brought his visions to life.
Available Now for the Bold at Heart
YSL Beauty’s MUSE is now available at select retailers, offering fragrance lovers a new chapter in the house’s luxurious scent library. Elegant, genderless, and thought-provoking, MUSE stands as a fragrant tribute to the power of artistic inspiration.
