Muse Xerjoff, released in 2019, is officially considered a unisex fragrance, falling within the chypre and fruit families. The fragrance belongs to the leather, wood, and fruit groups. The palette of this fragrance is exceptionally rich: traces of whiteflower and balsamic can also be found — a rare combination that makes this perfume truly one of a kind. From the Velvet collection; released as eau de parfum.
The sillage is noticeable — present, but never overpowering. This fragrance doesn't rush to leave — you can count on high longevity. Italy is where this fragrance comes from — and it shows. Muse Xerjoff — the choice of those who appreciate depth and character in every detail.
The fragrance is highly persistent and lasts on the skin for up to 8–10 hours, gradually revealing its notes and allowing you to enjoy the full bouquet throughout the day
The scent is clearly present near you, but it does not fill the entire space
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The olfactory structure of Muse is shaped as a cohesive olfactory arc, where notes flow without rush and without gaps. The style of Xerjoff is clear in the way notes appear and fade. No excess details, only what works, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Eau de parfum emphasizes the right density and pace of development.
In the first seconds you catch dry leather opening notes: Leather accord, Plum and White Flowers.
In the central layer you detect Davana, Jasmine and Labdanum holding a cool herbal direction.
The olfactory framework is driven by these accords: Balsamic, Gourmet, Floral and Fruit without random overlap. Additional accords such as Wood, Amber and Leather enrich the profile without taking over. The profile is unisex, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived. In longevity terms High indicates a stable lasting impression.
From the group perspective the profile is anchored in Balsamic, Fruit, Leather and Whiteflower. The palette also extends to Wood, Green, Ambery and Floral.
Taken together Muse holds a coherent structure — the opening sets direction, the heart develops the core line, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the scent structures best understood through real development.
