YSL Muse primarily refers to
Muse Eau de Parfum, an avant-garde unisex fragrance from Yves Saint Laurent’s ultra-premium collection, Le Vestiaire des Parfums. Created by master perfumer Marie Salamagne, the scent is a poetic tribute to Yves Saint Laurent’s creative muses and the liquid ink he used to sketch his iconic silhouettes. It is famous for its highly unique, dark, and sophisticated
"ink accord".
