Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Modern Muse Nuit Eau de Parfum
A truly gorgeous, dark vanilla masterpiece. Modern Muse Nuit is utterly baffling in its discontinuation - a rich, sensual scent sorely missed by its fans. It's an alluring 'man magnet' with impressive power, proving that Estée Lauder sometimes gets it absolutely spot on.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Makkah Eau de Parfum
Divisive, nostalgic, and a certified bargain, Makkah is a love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect bubblegum, incense, and a dose of artificial strawberry. Don't blind buy unless you like a bit of weird in your scent wardrobe.
