The story behind the bottle.
Modern Muse Le Rouge Gloss by Estée Lauder, launched in 2016, is a chypre fruity fragrance that marries sweet and bold notes into an unforgettable composition. The opening of sour cherry and pink pepper creates a vibrant contrast against the warm, powdery base of leather and honey. The heart of rose and jasmine adds a delicate floral touch, balancing the overall warmth without overpowering the distinctive vinyl note.
One spray to the pulse points is enough — the sour cherry and pink pepper top notes are bright but fleeting. The warm leather and honey base notes take about an hour to fully bloom, so apply it a bit before you need to step out.
