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.
If sweet vanilla, earthy patchouli and a whisper of orchid sound like your jam, then this is for you. A decent, all-rounder vanilla for those who don't want to smell like a cupcake.
