Launched in 2015, Modern Muse Le Rouge by Estée Lauder is an Oriental Floral fragrance that encapsulates the essence of modern femininity. The composition opens with a burst of red currant and raspberry, creating a vibrant fruity contrast against its rich floral heart. Bulgarian rose and May rose combine with jasmine and magnolia petals to form a lush bouquet, while pink pepper and saffron add subtle spice. The base notes of Madagascar vanilla, ambrette, patchouli, and vetiver provide warmth and depth, grounding the fragrance in a sensuous musky embrace.
