Which Should You Buy?
M7 is pure legend, a pioneering oud that's either worshipped as a masterpiece or dismissed as a syrupy, 'old man' fragrance. It's divisive yet undeniably influential.
A refreshing, ginger-forward clone that's great for daytime but falls short on performance. It's an affordable daily driver if you don't mind reapplying, but expect arguments about its true closeness to the original.
