SmokyWhat does M7 (2002) (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
It opens with bergamot, mandarin orange and rosemary, a bright start. In the heart, vetiver and oud take over and the scent turns earthy and smoky. The base of musk, amber and mandragora leaves a resinous, animal warmth, with the sweetness staying in the background throughout.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with summer well behind. It is favoured for evenings and nights out, and reads masculine and classic. Yves Saint Laurent M7 (2011) / M7 Oud Absolu and Montale Aoud Musk have a close profile.
