Ted Baker M is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2002. M opens with Musk, Vetiver, and Tonka Bean, and settles into a heart of Amber, Guaiac Wood, Coriander, and Canadian Fir Balsam. Ted Baker's M carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

A divisive cheapie with a beautiful scent profile that suffers from utterly horrendous performance. If you want something that lasts longer than a quick shower, look elsewhere, but for a post-gym spritz, it's a decent shout.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Fall

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its poor longevity and sillage make it suitable for casual wear or sports, where a subtle skin scent is more appropriate. The clean, fresh accords would be suitable for the office, but it simply won't last a full workday.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

M opens with a fresh, woody hit of vetiver, quickly joined by the coniferous sweetness of fir resin and the smoky depth of guaiac wood. A warm amber and musky undertone grounds the scent, with a hint of spicy coriander and the creamy sweetness of tonka bean adding a clean, slightly powdery finish. It's an inviting woody-aromatic that maintains an airy quality.
