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.

Our Verdict - Desert Sunrise EDP
Compiled from the retailer's own product notes: a zesty grapefruit-lemon-lime-thyme opening unfolds into a green vetiver-juniper-black currant-rose-jasmine heart before an ambergris-leather-vanilla base - a fresh citrus-to-warm-amber arc built to evoke a desert morning.

Season and Occasion Fit

La Collection M7 Oud Absolu

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

Its sophisticated nature and moderate to strong sillage make M7 Oud Absolu excellent for dates and formal events, though some find it light enough for office wear. The warmer, woody accords lean it towards cooler weather, making it less suitable for casual daytime or sport.

Desert Sunrise

Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer Autumn

The zesty citrus-green opening favours spring and summer wear, while the ambergris-leather-vanilla base gives it enough substance to transition into cooler autumn days.

Occasions

Also Works:
Office Date Casual

The fresh citrus opening and moderate projection make this a safe office and casual choice, with the amber-leather drydown offering enough depth for evening dates.
