Estée Lauder Modern Muse Nuit EDP – Perfume Sample

Dark, warm and undeniably seductive, Modern Muse Nuit combines blackcurrant and mandarin with hypnotic florals before sinking into creamy sandalwood, vanilla, tonka and patchouli. This discontinued fragrance has a rich, mysterious character that feels made for evenings.

What does Estée Lauder Modern Muse Nuit smell like?

Modern Muse Nuit begins with cassis and mandarin orange, creating a fruity-citrus opening with a slightly dark edge. The cassis gives the opening depth, while mandarin adds brightness before the warmer elements start to emerge.

Chamomile, heliotrope and jasmine form the heart, creating a soft floral layer with a distinctive aromatic and powdery quality. The chamomile gives the composition an unusual herbal facet, while heliotrope adds creamy powderiness around the jasmine.

The dry-down is where Nuit becomes particularly rich. Tonka bean, Madagascar vanilla, patchouli, sandalwood, amber and musk create a warm, creamy and deeply woody base. Vanilla and tonka provide sweetness, while patchouli and sandalwood give the fragrance its darker, more sophisticated character.

The overall impression is warm, sensual and woody, with creamy vanilla and tonka wrapped around a rich sandalwood and patchouli base.

Discontinued Fragrance

Launched in 2016 as the darker, more mysterious counterpart to the original Modern Muse, Modern Muse Nuit was created around the contrast between hypnotic florals and an addictive woody accord. It has since been discontinued and has become increasingly difficult to find, with enthusiasts actively searching for remaining bottles.
