Estee Lauder Modern Muse ~ perfume review

I was surprised to learn that the newly released Modern Muse was Estée Lauder’s “most comprehensive women’s scent statement since the 2003 launch of Beyond Paradise” — I would have thought 2008’s Sensuous was a pretty comprehensive scent statement?1 Regardless, it is true that the house does not release pillar fragrances at any great rate, and a new one is always welcome. Here’s the brand’s description of the Modern Muse woman:
A Modern Muse is strong and confident, enhanced by her own intrinsic femininity and individual style. She is the heroine of her own life, always following her own instinct. She is an independent spirit who possesses a natural magnetism that draws people in, inspires them with her smile, and speaks to them without saying a word. She is memorable, a force of creative energy, a true inspiration to others.2
The fragrance is also supposed to have an innovative “dual-impression” structure featuring a Sparkling Jasmine Accord and a Sleek Woods Accord,3 but as so often happens, the innovation was pretty much lost on me…
