Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - M7 Eau de Parfum

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.

Acquired

Our Verdict - Reporter for Men Eau de Toilette

A divisive scent with a split personality: some find it a fresh, natural-smelling daily driver; others a throwback powerhouse. It's affordable, but be warned, formulations vary wildly.
