Hi there Looking Glassers, Miutine Miu Miu was released in 2025. Presented in the clear Miu Miu bottle but with black lid detail. One of two 2025 releases along with Miu Miu Rosee. They had a fallow year in 2024 and I thought they might be letting the fragrance side drop but happily not yet. I need to preface the review by saying that I really don’t think Miu Miu is making perfume with me in mind as the consumer. Though I’m madly in love with their signature bottles, especially the turquoise 2015 original, my wallet has not left my pocket for any of the offerings. They’re not bad but they just don’t seem to fit me. So I go in today with zero expectation to love this. Happy to be pleasantly surprised though. They’re selling it as a gourmand chypre, inspired by the timeless classic. As it’s created by master perfumer Dominique Ropion that gives me a thrill, his first for Miu Miu.

Miutine by Miu Miu 2025

Miu Miu gives these featured accords:
Head: Wild Strawberry
Heart: Gardenia
Base: Brown Sugar, Vanilla, Patchouli oil, Oakmoss

Straight out of the gate I’m getting a confectionary, sugar free fizzy drink. Strawberry but not related to any strawberry that ever grew on earth. Also, with that strange, metallic backtaste of some of the fake sugars. I wasn’t expecting it to be SO sweet. Miutine is a bit like a strawberry Mugler Angel, but where Angel is full sugar fairy floss this is one of the pretenders.

Of gardenia I smell nothing.

The heart and dry down are extremely sweet. My hope was that as Miutine developed there would be a hit of deeper, richer patchouli and the furry weirdness of oakmoss. There is development but it’s not that. Some more bakery style confection. Maybe a strawberry iced doughnut.

My decant is from Surrender To Chance.

I can imagine someone who wants to smell like this going ape shit for it. Sadly, it’s not me. This is hyper childish feminine fragrance and smells to me like something you’d get in a $1 kids lip gloss.

Are you the target audience? Did it float your boat?
