The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2018, Muse by Sospiro Perfumes is a bold Oriental Floral fragrance crafted by Emilie Bouge. The composition opens with the juicy plum and raspberry, creating an initial burst of sweetness and freshness that contrasts beautifully with the leather and white floral heart notes. As it develops, labdanum and benzoin introduce an earthy warmth, while jasmine adds depth and complexity. Patchouli rounds out the base, grounding the scent in a rich, warm spicy character.

How to wear it

Apply Muse to pulse points for the best longevity. The initial fruity burst fades within an hour, so a second application can keep the warm base notes from overpowering.
