Yves Saint Laurent M7 Oud Absolu contains notes of bergamot, mandarin, orange, rosemary, vetiver, oud, musk, and amber. Available from major retailers.

Anyway, that's how I perceived it at the time, it smelled spicy, warm, oriental. At first the scent startled me, but even when it was my turn I perceived the scent as very pleasant and masculine. Every time the door opened and the hot, sultry air of the street blew in, the spicy oriental was again noticeable. I am glad I have both, but I am so very pleased to have the original YSL M7 in my collection. It's a masterpiece of perfumery. M7 Oud Absolu fell into my hands after another test and is now an integral part of my collection and I really appreciate this fragrance. The opening is introduced by some citrus fruits, especially orange and mandarin for me. However, these fruits are not bright and sunny and cheerful as usual, but rather steamed and they are already a bit drier. This may be due to the mineral notes that are not specified in detail. Rosemary, which I can also smell, and patchouli further darken the citric influence. And a certain dryness I also feel Oud then becomes noticeable, but doesn't come too clearly to the fore and keeps the fragrance within the wearable range for me. This special, slightly tart and austere note is present but does not spoil the fragrance for me. It has a certain medically appearing character. But this is not a bitter medicine, but a tasty one.I can't deny it, there is a certain melancholy in M7 Oud Absolu. It is not a fragrance that is sad, oh no. But due to the interplay of dry citrus fruits with the serious resins and spices, the cheerfulness is a bit cloudy and cloudy. M7 cuts a good figure in the office, as the scent is easy to notice, but does not spread immense scent clouds and is so pleasantly worked that colleagues do not feel bothered. I have to say a big word of praise. The main components of the perfume are listed on the bottle. Here called chords: M7 pushed all imaginable boundaries —the composition was a woody oriental blend of such boldness that it seemed fit for superheroes; the tenacity was legendary and the marketing campaign was one of the most controversial. Creators Alberto Morillas and Jacques Cavallier, perfumery superheroes in their own right, emphasized the richness of woody notes—oud, vetiver, sandalwood—by layering them with incense and citrus. M7 was dark as night and radiant as moonlight; in other words, mesmerizing.

i wish i could encourage men to look for something more interesting than the the citrus-musk-detergent-clean wood scents they all seem to gravitate to around here, but maybe those men are not themselves interesting… I persöhnlich am very satisfied with the fragrance, he stands out but something from the crowd without being extravagant. But today the chef is trying something new. He exchanges the starter and the dessert and remains behind a new experience.We all have certain preferences for certain notes, just as we naturally have a kind of aversion to other notes. Spontaneously, leather, aniseed and oud come to mind, with which I personally am not very good at, for example, In terms of occasions, it is suitable for work (but if so, then only in a discreet dosage, as it has power), everyday life (preferably with a little more chic clothing), as well as the evening to go out. Especially in the current season the M7 is the best and most suitable for me. Because of the fruity-citric start and the oriental swing it brings with it afterwards, mMn can be classified as a great all-rounder, which you can wear very well on these autumn days. And also on cooler days in spring I can imagine him very well. For those of you who are more at war with Oud, I can recommend that you try a test here. Nothing is really disturbing here I see the fragrance preferentially in autumn and in not too cold winter. And you can't smell it on every street corner M7 is surrounded by mystique because of stories (mythology, truths, tall tales?) about its composition, its impact on the market, and its changes over the years. First, it's considered by some to be the first commercial Western fragrance to feature oud (agarwood) in its composition. In 2002, this wood which is so commonly used in the Middle East and Asia as an ingredient in incense and burned on its own to perfume clothes and homes, was not nearly as well known in Europe or the Americas.The smell,which overtook European markets in the early 2010s, is far more complex and varied based on where the oud is harvested, how old it is, and how it is distilled, but the general smell of oudas its known in the West found its first common home in M7. Or did it?
