Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper shape-shifter: some smell a soft, clean vanilla that's effortlessly chic, others reckon it's a cloying, synthetic mess. It's a divisive scent, so test it on your skin before you commit.
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.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its intimate projection and fresh, clean dry-down make it ideal for the office or casual wear, as many users attested. However, the limited longevity and sillage mean it's less suited for formal events or sports where a stronger presence is desired.
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.
