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.
A budget take on the groundbreaking YSL M7, built around the same smooth oud over a bright citrus opening and warm amber base. It captures the polished, understated oud-amber character but renders the powdery-orangey depth flatter and shorter-lived than the original.
