I recently discovered Yves Saint Laurent’s M7, an absolutely amazing cologne. Though it’s been out since 2002, I just discovered it. It has some interesting ingredients, and though it smells kinda mediciny when it first goes on, it’s dry down is amazing, kinda like a caramel/raspberry type of smell. Women seem to love it. After buying a 1.7ml edt bottle in Manhattan, I have since ordered a gift pack that includes a 3.4ml edt and body wash.
The only problem, as far as I’m concerned, is that due to poor sales, it’s been discontinued. I personally like it more than Sexual, which was a hot topic on this message board a few months ago. Unfortunately, since M7 is not a Neroli kind of scent, I feel you can not cover any of the pheros sold here with M7 (though mandarin is an ingredient in it). I do use The Edge Unscented with most of my colognes, including M7, my new favorite. Here’s what Basenotes says about it. And a few of the reviews.

Sensual,leathery and dry with a medicinal quality that I’d encountered before in Joop!On me it lasts and lasts.I’m told that agarwood is an aphrodisiac and I certainly got lots of positive comments from the opposite sex when I was wearing this!One of my favourites.

A dark fragrance that is saturated with Oud/Agarwood. Reminds me of the incense burning in orthodox hindu temples in South India.
This is one fragrance I’ll take it to my grave

Of course there are some negative comments also, but thats possibly because M7 didn’t mix well with their chemistry. This is my new favorite, and new secret weapon, since I don’t know anyone else who uses it. It also seems to last a while on me, constantly changing.
