What wearers say

“I am a woman and I have both the M7 (decant) and M7 Absolu (full bottle) and I must say I enjoy both equally. The opening of the M7 is so on the face and you can feel it is intense compared to the current Absolu version. Longevity, dry down is exactly the same. Sillage - M7 has a good sillage due to strong opening, else I enjoy both. Projection is not very great after the initial opening. But oud at it s best for someone getting into oud fragrances. Even after washing vessels, cooking etc I could still smell the M7 on the back of my hands. Well done!”

“I haven’t smelt the original because I don’t wanna blind buy it but the clone I have is 5 out of 5. My only complaint of the clone I’ve got is the longevity but I have found another clone with better longevity. This beats most Louis Vuittons and is only second to opium pour homme but then again I’d say it depends on taste and It’s as good as opium. Probably the best Alberto morillas scent too.”
A member of a leading fragrance community
“A dark and sensual Fragrance, an opening of bitter citrus combined with a "wood-chip" like aroma. It gets woodier as it enters the heart and there is a dusky fruitiness with a faint resonance of something resembling raspberry. Overall it is powdery, dark and rich. The composition does have a touch of maturity and so would suit someone in their 30's+. Could be worn all year round but more of a autumn/winter scent. Projection is good and longevity soild.”

Sillage

The clone's oud is more prominent and linear in the later stages, whereas M7 balances its oud with more sophisticated vetiver nuances. Niche Oud also tends to project more aggressively in the initial spray, making it slightly less elegant overall despite accurate note recreation.

Sillage

The clone's heart notes lack some of the original's spicy-herbal intensity, and the base feels marginally less rich and complex as the fragrance develops. D7 performs well for the price point but doesn't quite achieve the depth of oud and musk that make M7 a niche fragrance standout.
