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.
This one's a proper mixed bag, isn't it? Half the crowd reckons it's a sunny, sophisticated Sicilian holiday in a bottle, while the other half can't shake off the feeling it smells a bit like an old dusty cupboard, or even cleaning products. Definitely try before you buy on this one.

Season and Occasion Fit
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
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its fresh, bright citrus profile makes it ideal for casual wear and sport, offering a refreshing lift. While some find it too casual or even "dated" for formal settings, its moderate sillage keeps it versatile enough for an office or a relaxed date.
