Modern Muse Eau de Rouge

Love at first sight! This is a wonderful peppery dewy sexy rose. Not in your face peppery, sexy. The flowers are making the peppery notes fresh and the musk and wood in the drydown takes it to a heavenly scent. Perfect for my bodychemistry. My new datenight scent and work scent and... Allright I'll wear this scent 24/7!

Edit to my review below: now when I've had it for a few days I have to say that it is soft and elegant. Perfect for work or a intimate date. It's not loud, you have to come close to notice the beauty.

Modern Muse Eau de Rouge was a pleasant surprise for me because I did not like the original, the chic, or the Le Rouge, but only because the last one was too sweet. Eau de Rouge is a clean spicy rose, the raspberry is subtle and the vanilla is nicely balanced by the bitter green cassis. These roses have not fully opened and are still on the stem, the pink pepper warms them up and makes them bloom in this fragrance. I can pick up on the magnolia and the ambrette in the dry down. Eau de Rouge is feminine and polished, pairs nicely with cardigans and tea-length dresses!

Oh, this to me is beautiful! Fruity floral, moderately sweet, I can sense the rose, also the raspberry and even some green notes. Everything is very well balanced with vanilla and musk and smells just wonderful. It is delicate and will definitely work as a daytime fragrance. But unfortunately because of it's lightness it fades rather quickly and longevity is not too good.

I'm excited about this. I got modern muse Le rouge for Christmas (red bottle) and this new flanker has some of my favourite perfume notes, rose, vanilla and pink pepper..... Estée Lauder usually gets the mix right so I'm confident it should be good... Can't wait to try it.
