Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Modern Muse Le Rouge Gloss Eau de Parfum
This one's a controversial smash hit for Estée Lauder, a true 'love it or hate it' scent that dared to be different. It’s been cruelly discontinued, meaning a passionate hunt is on among its fervent fanbase for every last bottle.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Red d'Amour Extrait
This boozy, smoky cherry bomb is a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but fans rave about its sexy, rich character and incredible longevity. If you want to make an entrance, Red d'Amour has you covered.
