M7 (for men)
Designer: Yves Saint Laurent Olfactive Group: Oriental Woody
!M7 by Tom Ford embodies the male sensuality. It is the seventh men perfume by YSL and the second one created by Tom Ford (who worked as the creative director for YSL at the time). The creators are: Jacques Cavallier and Alberto Morillas.
M7 was accompanied by a very provocative advertising campaign with a denude man. We show you one of the moderate ones. M7 man is elegant, sensual, masculine and desirable. The face in the commercials is the aikidist Samuel De Cuber.
M7 is a heavy, rich, intensive and masculine fragrance, dominated by dark, warm and dry precious woody notes with an accord of raw materials and a heavy, natural, earth-like note originating from vetiver. The frangrance is so masculine that it is not even recommended to women who like to wear perfumes for men.
The formula of this perfume encompasses assorted trees and raw, odorous plants. The composition begins with elegant citrusy notes of Italian bergamot, Sicilian mandarin and rosemary from Southern France. The worm heart contains one of the most expensive components – Agarwood, followed by vetiver. The prefume closes with a soft ambergris trail and musky notes.
The bottle coloured in warm nuances was created by Tom Ford and Doug Lloyd. The perfume was created in 2002.

A definitely mature classic. Sexy, hot, seductive and very masculine. Woody scent with strong vetiver note.
Long lasting and really strong. All room smells m7 if somebody wears it, surely dominant.
Not 4children or citrus aquatic fans.

Very nice... very masculine... very unique, but it makes my nose run EVERY time. M7 and "The One" are the only fragrances that do this to me, and they just happen to be a few of my favorites.

I love M7.......What can I say...It is amazing....IT lasts forever.....I can put it on in the morning and in the evening still smell it. I get tons of compliments and no one smells like I do. I think it is a great counterpart to Nu by YSL......I like the dark and woody aroma, but never is it over powering.

Love/hate relationship-Why? there are days when it reminds me of candy, others like cough medicine. Its hard to find the agarwood, which it is supposed to be based around. There is a richness about it. In the winter, its burns my skin. Not a good thing, since that is when it works best. It does have a "woodfire" quality that I love. Its also very expensive. I will not be getting another bottle when I finish this one, if that ever happens.

This one disgusts me. It smells like disinfectant that they use in hospitals. It is very medicinal, and very offputting. The only scent that I have truly disliked wanted to sell or get rid of immidiately.
I don't know what they did to this, but it's not great, but I appreciate there are many people who love it. An aquired taste maybe?

I got M7 as a substitute for my old (in most places) discontinued favorite KL, and I'm glad to see I'm not the only woman who wears it! Very rich and seductive, but still spicy-fresh.

A sweet earthy-woody cologne for men. At first it is very medicinal, but turns into a natural and very sensual vetyver and wood scent. It is great, but still pretentious and definitely not for the summer. In the winter and fall it is most appropriate. In the summer you may smell like a dirty man.

This is a well made piece of confectionary from YSL. It immersed me in a buttered popcorn cloud that took some hours to become even vaguely muted, This sort of sweetness sits uncomfortably with me, as I am neither young enough nor effeminite enough to wear this with confidence. It should however be lauded for it's beautiful balance of ingredients. It has an obtrusive sillage, and never felt as though it would overpower either myself or the company I was in. Small pulses of fragrance orbited my body consistently for the whole day. It is for this impressive chemical architecture that I believe it is a thumbs up. I don't like it's face, but it has a body to die for.

I just received my package by FedEx, and tried it on. I must confess, I don't think highly of it; it does not impart an impression that it is a fragrance.
It is as so many have said, smells of cough syrup or a medicated pancake syrup. It causes headaches and it is also very nauseatingly repulsive.
However, a scent like M7 should never be judged so quickly. I'll keep testing it for a week, and will then write a full report about my experience.

It has been almost a week now. You would be pleased to learn that I have given it to my neighbor at the very, very end of the subdivision! ... so that smelling it again would be highly unlikely!

First 2-3 times of usage and M7 made me feel to like or dislike the fragrance but later I surprisingly started liking it and attracted towards its uniqueness, never had any single negative comment whenever I wore M7 but its for sure a type of fragrance that I like to smell over my body. Its different even its perfect for use in South Asian and Middle Eastern regions. That's just because of the use of Agar wood that doesn't dominates the overall scent but makes it a perfect wearing experience for someone who is fond of "Attar" oriented fragrances and off course where surroundings allow this sort of intense perfume. Truly intense, very masculine, lasting is perfect (can smell it all around on the other day from my worn-out shirt).
M7 is good for romantic / intimate wear and lasts 16+ hours. I was a bit confused about its silage initially but man its perfect.... really a Splendid choice for an extra ordinary Man!

I always curious about this one for a long time,because its controversial review.So,I give it a try, an opening isn't charming,smelling like medicine,but after the top notes is gone...the middle notes and base notes is heavenly.Rich, mellow and sweet.A bit masculine in the opening,but after dry down...I think woman can use it as well.Just give it sometime to settle on you skin.

This is one of my favorite men's scents to wear, aside from Tenere by Paco Rabanne. Very sexy on a woman, must be the ambergris and Agarwood. Very earthy and close to the skin-yum. A newcomer that bears resemblance is Beckham for Men.

This scent attacks your nose and numbs it. Targeted towards old men. To me it smells like someone's "trying too hard".

Not so mush of a sexy scent, but I like the sweet powdery drydown.
10/02/08 07:29:15
Incredible smell! One of the most mysterious and alluring drydowns in the men's perfums. I think is VERY sexy!
The problem is I bought a new 50 ml bottle recently (which is no more dark red but made of white glass with only one side covered with dark red sticker!) and what I am 100% sure they somehow reformulated the fluid. The sillage is no longer there and it's no longer such incredibly long lasting. I thing they made the fragrance cheaper by incresing the volume of alcohol as a solvent. As we all know the agarwood oil is very expensive... Now I need to use more of it to actually smell it. That is why I will be out of it in shorter time what will force me to buy another bottle. With the older all-dark-red bottle I would stick much much longer. Well - the market won over the quality (again)! Pitty! Because it's not the same fragrance anymore. 09/21/08 22:22:33

there's none listed below. Last I heard this was being discontinued. Buy it if you find it. This gives an idea of what the Aoud fragrances from Arabia are like.

My favorite men's fragrance ever. It smells like history. No longer sold in stores, but available online.
10/05/07 16:32:09
WOW! This is my favorite perfume that my husband owns. Sexy, warm and fresh at the same time.
