About
Original M7 launched in 2002 and is widely treated as an important early mainstream Western oud masculine. Current YSL official material available during research is for M7 Oud Absolu, not the original 2002 M7 formula.
Original M7 is a darker aromatic oud-amber profile with citrus/rosemary opening, oud-vetiver core, and amber-musk base; M7 Oud Absolu shifts the visible official structure toward mandarin, patchouli, oud, myrrh, and cistus.
