What does Modern Muse Le Rouge Gloss smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick spring and fall, and it leans towards leisure, daily wear and evenings. It reads mostly feminine, with some voters calling it modern.

As a whole it is floral and fruity: jasmine absolute, Rosa centifolia and black cherry set a sweet frame. Saffron and pink pepper add spice, while vanilla and styrax give a powdery, oriental softness. Vinyl leaves a glossy, synthetic edge. Estēe Lauder Modern Muse Le Rouge and Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
