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.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its strong, powerful sillage and long-lasting nature make it unsuitable for the office, but perfect for evenings. The rich, dark character of oud and amber naturally leans towards date nights and formal events, with a casual wearability on cooler days.
Seasons
Sicilian-citrus-fruity-musk-vanilla is firmly spring-summer territory; the bright fruity opening and clean musky drydown read most natural in warm weather. Cooler-season wear viable but the fruit-led shoulder reads thinner in winter.
Occasions
Bright fruity-musk with strong projection fits casual day and social wear naturally; date and evening also work. Office viable at moderate dosage. Too distinctive for sport.
