Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - La Collection M7 Oud Absolu EDT
M7 Oud Absolu is a divisive beast. Some swear it's a masterpiece, a rich, warm winter staple, perfect for the modern gentleman. Others find it lacks the oomph of the original M7, with middling performance. Try before you buy, but expect high quality.
