M7 Oud Absolu is the 2011 oriental flanker of YSL's M7 (2002) in the La Collection line, an eau de toilette for men by Jacques Cavallier. Mandarin orange and patchouli lead into a base of agarwood (oud), myrrh and French labdanum.
Scent story
M7 Oud Absolu is YSL's bridge between French perfumery and the Middle East. The oud here is not the barnyard blast of hardcore attars — it is polished, blended with myrrh and labdanum into something resinous, warm and almost chocolatey-dark. Patchouli adds earthiness, mandarin a brief brightness up top. It is a serious, brooding scent for cooler months and evenings. For Indian wearers familiar with real oud, this will read as the refined French interpretation. Beginners should sample first — oud is an acquired taste, even in this smoothed form.
