H7

H7 borrows the structure that made M7 a landmark when Yves Saint Laurent released it in 2002 as one of the earliest designer fragrances centred on agarwood: a citrus opening of mandarin and bergamot, a herbal rosemary-vetiver heart, and an amber-musk base built around oud. Alexandria's version swaps the original's rosemary-mandarin-bergamot for Sicilian mandarin and Italian bergamot with French rosemary and vetiver roots, and stays fairly faithful to that structure. The main difference is intensity - M7 was considered genuinely bold for its era, with agarwood pushed forward enough that it initially confused Western noses unused to oud in a mainstream release, and it was eventually relaunched as M7 Oud Absolu with an even deeper woody-resinous core. H7's oud reads smoother and more polished from the start, trading some of that raw, challenging edge for an easier, more universally wearable woody-amber trail that lasts well but doesn't quite recreate the original's uncompromising character.
