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 - Anarch Eau de Parfum
Anarch is a divisive one - a love-it-or-hate-it clone that some adore for its clean, bright, and expensive-smelling character, while others find it screechy, cheap, or overwhelming. Expect strong performance but perhaps not universal appeal.
