What people who wear Yves Saint Laurent M7 Oud Absolue Edt report, based on votes and reviews from a large fragrance community.

“It’s a solid fragrance, but I find myself wishing for more "oomph" from the oud and better longevity. I love the initial blast, but unfortunately, it settles down far too quickly. With moderate projection and sillage at best, it’s a nice choice for intimate dates or the office, but it stays quite close to the skin. Given the enticing price point, it’s a good value, but more oud and better performance would easily boost this from a 7/10 to a 9/10.”
“at first spray, this one is not as "medicinal" as original M7, more woody than oud. I guess it is tamed version of M7, as for the projection and longevity not as good as original one. I would like this M7 Oud Absolu but not love it as original M7.”
“So soothing and warm. This doesn't have that awesome cherry note that the original has, or not as strong anyway. It also is nowhere near the performance of the original. Maybe it is like ombre leather which you come somewhat noseblind towards and everyone else is complimenting you.On my skin the drydown gets a bit bubblegummy, which oddly enough I love. The patchouli gives me a same vibe as the base of Armani Attitude does.I got a 75/80ml bottle for 50 euros. This seems to be in stock at least in notino and other stores for about 60-80€.”

Sillage
The clone delivers comparable longevity but with slightly more pronounced synthetic characteristics in the heart notes. The original's oud feels more nuanced and creamy, while the clone leans slightly harsh and linear in the opening two hours.

Sillage
Musamam presents a more straightforward oud-forward composition without the subtle spicy and incense layers found in M7 Oud Absolue, and the projection tends to be slightly softer with a shorter longevity. The overall drydown is warmer and more amber-centric rather than maintaining M7's complex aromatic evolution.
