In 1946 Paris had just been liberated by the Allied forces. What a better way to celebrate than with a new perfume for the GIs to bring back to their sweethearts, Non? Coty had just the perfect souvenir de Paris. Les Muses with its big tuberose would help contribute to the “baby-boom” back in the USA.
Introduced a few years before Fracas, this was the beginning of tuberose centered compositions. Another first for Coty, however lost in the brief history of perfume time of the 20th century.
Tuberose is the note that is difficult to pull off and Les Muses does it effortlessly. Of course this refers to the brief re-launch-teaser from 1986. Forty years after the original release this bottle only holds whispers of the past. Skeptics may say otherwise, but I feel this is close to the original.
Once again this drug store offering was running ahead of the pack with a price tag that wouldn’t break the bank. This was refined Parisian elegance for any one. We think of L’Air de Temps or Miss Dior as the post war perfumes, yet we shouldn’t forget Les Muses. It must have been a smash. Seductive, whispering and demure…
I have the 1986 bottle that only suggest its magnificence. However this glimpse into another time reveals a potent beauty that todays formula cannot compare. It does last until your next shower. Coty fans should get a bottle ASAP!!!!

Bought this beautiful fragrance in Adelaide in the late 1980s along with two other Coty reissues of the time – Chypre and La Rose Jacqueminot – all reminders of some of the great achievements of that company. Sadly no longer available, although I have seen reports suggesting that quality reconstructions of a number of Coty’s greatest perfumes including these and Emeraude, have been made in recent times by the likes of Daphne Bugay and Aurelian Guichard, but presumably taken no further.
