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 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.
