M7 (perfume)

Last updated

M7 is a men's fragrance by Yves Saint Laurent launched in 2002 (discontinued). [1] It was created by the perfumers Alberto Morillas and Jacques Cavallier. It is the first male scent from YSL since Tom Ford took creative control. The fragrance "M7 Oud Absolu" (2011) is somewhat different. The name might refer to the fact that the M7 was the seventh fragrance for men created by/for YSL. Brazilian perfume company Natura has recently launched a very similar fragrance called OUD Essencial which is undoubtedly a copy of M7.

<i>Fougère</i> One of the main olfactive families of perfumes

Fougère, pronounced[fu.ʒɛʁ], is one of the main olfactive families of perfumes. The name comes from the French language word for "fern". Fougère perfumes are made with a blend of fragrances: top-notes are sweet, with the scent of lavender flowers; as the more volatile components evaporate, the scents of oakmoss, derived from a species of lichen and described as woody, sharp and slightly sweet, and coumarin, similar to the scent of new-mown hay, become noticeable. Aromatic fougère, a derivative of this class, contains additional notes of herbs, spice and/or wood.
