Which Should You Buy?
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.
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.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its powerful sillage and strong, sweet oriental character make it too assertive for office wear. However, its 'man magnet' reputation and elegant warmth align perfectly with date nights and cooler-weather formal events, as many reviewers attest.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its potent projection and unique, sometimes challenging, scent profile make it less suitable for formal or office settings. However, its playful and nostalgic character, along with its excellent longevity, makes it a fun choice for casual outings or intimate date nights, where its warmth truly shines.
