The Character and History of the Fragrance
Andrea Maack Muse is a new unisex fragrance from 2025, created for those who see fragrance as part of a personal artistic statement.
This is an extrait de parfum with a very strong sillage: a noticeable, rich composition designed to unfold with striking effect.
The release continues the aesthetic of Andrea Maack, an Icelandic perfume house that grew out of an art project by the artist of the same name.
Founded in 2010, the brand combines contemporary art, expressive imagery and perfume composition, so Muse feels not simply like a fragrance, but like an independent olfactory experience.
Olfactive Profile and Mood
In character, Muse brings together floral, fruity and woody nuances.
It combines juicy exoticism, soft white-floral expressiveness and a warm woody-musky background, allowing the fragrance to sound sensual, modern and full-bodied at the same time.
The fruity side of the composition makes it lively and captivating, the floral accents add smoothness and radiance, while the woody base creates a lasting, noble framework.
As a result, Muse will appeal to those looking for a noticeable fragrance with a distinctive personality, but who do not want to limit themselves to purely sweet or traditionally floral compositions.
Development and Wearability
At the opening, the fragrance unfolds with a bright tropical combination of coconut and mango, given a spicy lift by pink pepper.
It then becomes more floral: gardenia and sweet pea soften the fruity juiciness and give it an elegant, slightly creamy character.
In the base, Muse gradually takes on a warm woody-musky nuance with cashmeran, cedar and sandalwood.
Thanks to its extrait concentration and very strong sillage, the perfume develops best in cool weather, in the evening, at events and in situations where a noticeable fragrance accent is appropriate.
Muse is positioned as a fragrance for women and men, so its perception depends greatly on skin temperature and individual style.
On one person's skin, the juicy fruity side will be more prominent; on another, white flowers, soft cashmeran or dryish woody nuances may stand out.
The Perfumer and the Brand's Style
The composition was created by perfumer Domitille Bertier.
Her work with the contrast between tropical fruits, white flowers and a woody-musky base allows Muse to sound multilayered: the fragrance quickly attracts attention, then reveals a calmer and more composed side.
For Andrea Maack, this release fits especially naturally into the direction of art perfumery, where not only pleasantness and versatility matter, but also imagery, emotion and a recognisable atmosphere.
Muse may appeal to lovers of niche fragrances who enjoy unusual combinations and a strong presence on the skin.
Similar Fragrances

It will appeal to those who enjoy expressive fruity and floral accords with a distinctive character and striking development.

Given its very strong sillage, it is sensible to start with a small amount and assess how the extrait develops specifically on your skin.
