What does M7 Fresh smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays present without filling a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, with fall close behind. Leisure, daily wear and the office are the most chosen settings. Voters mostly read it as masculine, and many also call it modern.

The fresh, citrus and green accords lead. Mandarin orange, grapefruit and bergamot give a bright citrus opening. In the heart, oud, ginger and bitter orange add a spicy, slightly resinous depth. In the base, vetiver and musk settle it onto a woody, soft ground.
