Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Modern Muse EDP
Modern Muse is a floral white musk that, for most, offers a clean, elegant, and versatile experience. Some find it a bit too safe, even bordering on forgettable, but its mass appeal and office-friendliness are undeniable. Think 'professional chic' rather than 'groundbreaking art'.
Favourite
Our Verdict - 373 Estee Lauder Modern Muse EDP
373 recreates Modern Muse's jasmine-and-tuberose signature, though the woody-amber base is flatter than Estee Lauder's polished original.
