Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Modern Muse Nuit
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 - Golden Amber
This one's a proper divider. Some reckon it's a classy, sweet amber dream, others find it a scrubber with a jarring mix of almond blossom and neroli. You'll either love it or hate it, so definitely don't blind buy.
