Summary
Initially this perfume seems light in scent, then within a few seconds it becomes stronger. You get a slightly false impression that you might like it, as I usually love floral scents, but this one has a heavy note of Jasmine, followed by Lily. The two together come over as the more lasting notes within this perfume, making it's intial light almost delicate scent, disappear very quickly. Scents can smell different on each individual, as they work with the body's oils. For me this took on a scent that will certainly have longevity, but with notes that I find give me a headache. I'm afraid this one falls into that category. What started out with lovely floral tones changed to much. This Muse is not like other Estee fragrances on the surface, but does share that same strong undertone that you either like or hate. I will be giving this one a miss.

I think perfume is hard to review as people like different scents and find different notes appealing and not. Initially I really liked this but after a while I found it quite heady and a bit too sweet and cloying. It did die down again after about an hour and then the heart notes were allowed to come through.
If you like strong sweet florals with a lot of powdery lily then this is for you. If you like light spicy notes then avoid this

Very feminine and lasted quite well

There is a note that is quite powerful and can become a bit sickly - it is the powdery floral note

An elegant bottle. Average price for an EDP. A feminine fragrance which at first is quite soft and powdery. Long-lasting.
Weakest points
Overtime, the fragrance becomes very overpowering. The Fresh Lily note is much too strong.
Summary
A feminine floral fragrance that is much too strong for my own personal taste.
