La Collection M7 Oud Absolu EDT
Yves Saint Laurent by Alberto Morillas, Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud OriginalScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
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.
Musamam is not for the faint of heart; it's a divisive beast of a fragrance. Expect love or hate, with no in-between. If you're after a bold, intense, almost confrontational scent, this might just be your venomous charm.

Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
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.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Given its strong performance and intense, non-linear profile, Musamam is ill-suited for the office or casual daytime wear where subtlety is key. Its 'next-day type' longevity and powerful projection make it ideal for date nights or formal events, particularly in cooler weather, where its distinctive character can shine without overwhelming.
