Which Should You Buy?
M7 Fresh is a polarizing blast from the past, splitting opinion between a "masterpiece" fresh oud that pre-dated its time and a watered-down, short-lived scent not worth the hype. Its mythical status, fuelled by discontinuation, makes finding a bottle a quest in itself, but don't expect universal adoration.
A divisive oud, this one. Some reckon it's a masterpiece of fresh, approachable oud-leather with beastly performance, while others find it unremarkable, lacking oud, or just a bit too much. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
The fresh citrus and woody notes lend themselves well to casual and date settings, with many reviewers calling it a 'gentleman summer scent'. Despite some claims of poor longevity, it sits close enough to the skin to be appropriate for office wear without overpowering, though its oud makes it less suited for formal events.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its potent performance and sophisticated oud-leather profile make it ideal for formal occasions and dates. While some find it office-friendly due to its 'clean' oud, its intensity means you'd want to go easy on the sprays in a professional setting. Not at all suited for sport due to its rich, heavy nature.
