What do reviewers say about Modern Muse Le Rouge and Crystal Noir?
The Modern Muse line walks a line between accessible and interesting, and Le Rouge falls squarely on the interesting side. Yes, it's a rose-vanilla with patchouli.Modern Muse Le Rouge
Crystal Noir is not subtle and it knows it. The pepper and ginger opening is unapologetically assertive, but the coconut gardenia heart is where it wins people over.Crystal Noir
