Muse

I just received my 15ml bottle of “Muse” and OMG I LOVE IT! Immediately off the rip I can smell plum, jasmine, and patchouli. This is a unisex scent, but it leans more feminine for sure. There is something about that plum patchouli that makes me immediately think of Lush. Lush stores. Lush’s Plum rain. There are quite a few similarities, but muse is much more refined. This is NOT a fragrance for everyone by no means. The leather note is hardly noticeable, but the jasmine is very hefty in this one. I smell plum, jasmine and patchouli the most, and they smell absolutely Devine together. The dry down I get more amber and Labdanum, but man is this sexy! I’m 34, and this is right down my alley with the scent profile. The name muse is actually a very good name for this type of fragrance. I have no idea why it’s not talked about much. This is actually my very first Xerjoff fragrance, and I’m impressed! This really does have a hippie/gothic edge to it that I can’t really describe. It comes off very witchy, and I adore that aspect. It’s intriguing. It’s interesting, yet it’s not juvenile at all. The jasmine and white flowers can come off a bit mature for the younger crowd, but for a woman like me in her early 30’s it is perfect! I just keep smelling my arm and this juice is sooo magnificent! Easily in my top 10 that fast! If you don’t like patchouli and white florals, you will not like this at all. If you enjoy patchouli, plum, and white florals, I would give this one a go. Wow. I’m seriously in love. One of my all time favorites is PDM “Athalia” and MFK “Oud satin mood” while those two fragrances are quite different, if you enjoy those fragrances, then I would say get your nose on this. Maybe my nose isn’t refined enough to say this stinks, but man this doesn’t stink at all! While I will say this is a bit unisex, this still leans feminine enough for me to say I would rather smell this on a female than a male. I couldn’t imagine my husband wearing this at all lol. Just catching whiffs of this as I walk by, and it’s soo tantalizing. Muse is a perfect fit for a juice like this!!!

Xerjoff Muse is a beautifully composed fragrance that feels both luxurious and addictive. If you already love the fig and spice of Ouverture, you’ll immediately recognize a similar DNA here—but Muse takes that structure and turns it into something more juicy and expressive. You get this rich, jammy plum that feels sophisticated rather than overly sweet. It almost leans figgy in a way but flirty fig. There’s also a clear connection to La Capitale, in the way Muse blends fruitiness with leather, amber, and labdanum. It carries that same richness and depth. The white florals soften the composition while adding just enough edge to keep it interesting. Mind you I’m a lover of tuberose, so I prefer florals with an edge v powdery. The leather is also present but never overpowering, just blended in perfectly to give depth without stealing the show. It’s also giving a suede vibe. What really stands out is the spice. The mix of benzoin and amber creates this glowing, resinous base, while the labdanum adds an extra layer of richness that gives the scent its character. It’s warm, smooth, and incredibly well done. Like Ouverture and La Capitale, this is a fragrance that shifts with the seasons. I wear both of those in the summer, and Muse behaves in a similar way...it transforms in the heat. On skin, it mixes with your natural oils and opens up into something more exotic, almost tropical. In colder weather, it leans deeper, smoother, and more sensual. Muse really sits right between the two, it carries the spice and structure of Ouverture, while echoing the fruity, leathery, amber-labdanum richness of La Capitale, yet still manages to feel completely its own.

O.m.g. Mother of god this is stunning!! The most yummy, juicy, sweet and balsamic plum scent ever. Addictive and sexy as hell. This sexy vibe is evoked by the patchuli and leather note that add just that touch of elegance or darkness or animalic slightly formal vibe. Sexy, juicy, yummy beast... For those scared of leather like myself, worry not. This is so well blended, xerjoff quality front and center. Raspberry, benzoin and patchuli leather as supporting cast of plum as the star of the show. At first i got a perfumey dressy vibe. Elegant but playful...and again sexy as the main vibe. Then sweet, juicy and balsamic, like a plum jam or wine... bit pungent... almost gourmandy? Night out, sexy lounge or restaurant... fall day/evening, maybe summer night. Winter day? Night too. Not a spring or summer day. Plum or fuschia lipstick, leather jacket, high black patent leather heels... lived in black liner... i dunno. Smells exactly like the bottle! This is what made me get addicted to xerjoff for sure. Fave night out perfume. This is not simple. Its complex, It is unique, different, and yes... a bit strange in all the right ways.. And no, decadence doesn’t come close to this epic hidden gem. LOVE, 10/10

This is plum with oud. Not sure why, because oud is not listed here. Reminds me a bit with oud satin mood from MFK, except osm is oud with rose and vanilla. I bought this on summer, I didn't like it because it was too strong and not what I expected. I expected a cheerful sweet plum, like MJ Decadence, but it is not. Now it's fall, the weather is getting colder, I wear it again and really like it. It's fruity, but not colorful bright fresh fruits. It is sweet but not so sweet. This is dark fruit, plum with some oud-like smell in the background. It smells dark and very cozy. Perfect to be worn in cold season, next to fireplace. Unisex, leans a bit on feminine side because of the plum. I'm glad I don't smell the leather. One spray is strong enough, longevity is 8++ hours.

Strong similarity to Dior Poison, but much better in my opinion. Plum seems to be one of my favourite notes in perfumes. This is jammy, sweet and thick, like a ripe plum dipped in amber honey and blown with a dust of oriental spices. It’s stunning, luxurious and has a slightly vintage vibe. Fortunately for me I don’t get any leather note - I like that on men, but not on me. Lasting power is incredible, I can still smell it after taking a long shower. This is a winner for me.
