Zarkoperfume The Muse Dupe Australia - Lie 96

Zarkoperfume is one of the most interesting fragrance houses to emerge from Scandinavia — a Danish niche brand beloved by fragrance enthusiasts for its bold, artistic approach to perfumery. The Muse is among their most celebrated creations: a confident, modern rose fragrance with an earthy depth that sets it apart from conventional florals. At $141 RRP, Lie 96 is our dupe, hand poured in Sydney for $45.

It opens with a bright, slightly spiced burst of bergamot and pink pepper — immediately energising and distinctive, with just enough edge to signal that this isn't a conventional floral. The heart is where The Muse reveals its character: rose, geranium and clary sage together create a rich, aromatic floral that's confident and sophisticated rather than soft and retiring. The base of patchouli, sandalwood and amber settles into a warm, earthy depth that gives the whole fragrance exceptional longevity and a beautiful, lingering trail.

The Muse is for people who love roses but don't want to smell like a conventional rose fragrance. Bold, artistic, and completely contemporary — the kind of scent that rewards people who pay attention to fragrance. Lie 96 captures that same creative spirit for $45.

Vegan, cruelty-free, and hand poured in small batches in Sydney. Free shipping on all Australian orders over $99.

Q: Is Lie 96 a good dupe for Zarkoperfume The Muse?
A: Yes — Lie 96 captures the same bold, modern rose character that
made The Muse one of Zarkoperfume's most celebrated fragrances.
Pink pepper, bergamot, rose, geranium, patchouli and sandalwood —
the same confident sophistication, for $45 instead of $141.

Q: What does Zarkoperfume The Muse smell like?
A: The Muse is a bold, modern, and artistic rose fragrance from
Danish niche house Zarkoperfume. Bergamot and pink pepper open
with a spiced brightness, giving way to a rich, aromatic heart of
rose, geranium and clary sage — confident and sophisticated rather
than soft or conventional. The base of patchouli, sandalwood and
amber adds a warm, earthy depth that gives it remarkable staying
power. It's the rose fragrance for people who think they don't
like rose fragrances.

Q: Is The Muse a men's or women's fragrance?
A: Zarkoperfume classifies The Muse as unisex, and so is Lie 96.
Its bold rose and earthy character works beautifully on all
genders — the patchouli and geranium give it a character that
transcends conventional gender categories.

Q: Is Lie 96 good for everyday wear?
A: The Muse is versatile enough for everyday wear but has enough
presence to work as an evening fragrance too. Its rose-and-patchouli
character works particularly well in cooler weather, though the
brightness of the bergamot and pink pepper opening keeps it fresh
year-round.

A: Zarkoperfume is a Danish niche fragrance house founded by
perfumer Frederik Dallup. Known for its bold, artistic approach

is one of their signature creations. At $141 RRP in Australia,
Lie 96 makes the same olfactory experience accessible for $45.

Q: How long does Lie 96 last on skin?
A: The patchouli and sandalwood base of The Muse give it
excellent longevity — earthy base notes are among the
longest-lasting in perfumery. Apply to pulse points on
moisturised skin or directly to clothing for best results.
