Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - M7 EDT
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 - H7 EDP
H7 pays tribute to Yves Saint Laurent's discontinued M7, one of the first designer scents built around oud, keeping the citrus-rosemary-vetiver-oud shape but with a softer, less rebellious oud presence than the 2002 original.
