Wangian untuk setiap aspek kehidupanmu?
Serlahkan keperibadianmu dengan Modern
Muse daripada Estée Lauder.
K
ebetulan atau disengajakan
apabila model Arizona
Muse diangkat menjadi
jurucakap bagi wangian
terbaru Modern Muse? Apa jua
kisahnya, Arizona melambangkan
segalanya yang ingin diterjemahkan
oleh wangian moden dengan
haruman flora-kayuan mewah ini.
Inilah aura wangian
terbaru daripada Estée
Lauder, Modern Muse yang
melengkapi setiap aspek
kehidupan wanita. Diadun dengan
lapisan haruman yang kuat juga
lembut, struktur berinovatifnya
menjemput wanita untuk
mendalaminya melalui dua
aspek berbeza…
Cosmo Investigates
SIAPA LEBIH
PENTINGKAN DIRI –
“Main game sampai berjamjam, lepas tu paksa orang
tengok sekali pula! Angin je...”
Dual-Impression
Siapa yang boleh dikategorikan sebagai wanita Modern Muse? Semestinya yang
ada keyakinan, diserlahkan lagi dengan sifat kewanitaan dan gaya peribadinya.
Dia adalah watak utama di dalam hidupnya, sentiasa yakin dengan kata hati.
Kehadirannya menarik perhatian dan memberi inspirasi dengan senyumannya.
Ia menyingkap tenaga kreatif dan
sifat kewanitaan wanita moden.
Mandarin eksotik dan nektar
honeysuckle mencetus tenaga
melalui kelopak bunga lembut.
Dua jenis ekstrak jasmine sambac
menambah seri kepada jambakan
tuberose fleur dan fresh lily.
Adunan Kayu-kayuan
Kekuatan dan sensualitinya
diterjemahkan melalui adunan
patchouli yang disaluti vanila
Madagascar, kayu ambar mewah dan
kelembutan kesturi, kesemuanya
memberikan penutup yang sensual.
Modern Muse buat saya
rasa berada di tahap
lebih tinggi... Versi diri
saya yang lebih baik.
