Modern Muse Estēe Lauder 2013 Eau de Parfum

Today is my dear husband's birthday and guests are expected.
So, it's time for some intense cleaning with heavy equipment.
While I was "doing my business," a sample fell into my hands, which I quickly sprayed to possibly dispose of it.

Wait - or maybe not?
No, I succumbed to temptation and sat down.
Aha - Modern Muse.
It kissed me, and I took a break.

A beautiful, interesting blend of mandarin, honeysuckle, and jasmine reached my nose.
The more robust tuberose and the bright lily join in.
A slight oriental kick is added to the muse through patchouli and Madagascar vanilla.

A pleasant filler for breaks.
Whether I will drop everything to rush to the perfume shop and get the scent quickly, I don't know yet.

It will probably depend on how long the muse's kiss lasts and what else it does for me, besides providing a nice breather.
