a lighter airrier more versatile fragrance than the original m7, this one couldnt offend anyones nostrils at all, good longevity, reasonable projection and stays close to the skin,ideal for when your special lady cuddles up close at the end of the evening,

A fresh scent with citrus and oud. I found it bland and boring and subsequently gave it away after trying it a couple of times.

Love the opening with a huge explosive of grapefruit/lime/orange. On my skin the middle is a toned down version of the opening and base is a cedar. This last between 6-8 hours on my skin and what I like about this is you can apply it liberally. 2 on the neck, 1 on the chest and 2 on the wrist. I don't think it smells like fruit loops and I don't smell the medicinal smell as others have suggested. It' more of an acidic blast of the 3 fruits which to me doesn't make medicinal. Overall it's a very fresh smelling cologne, masculine enough, cheap enough, and can be worn in the summer with out the fear of gagging by over spraying. This one gets a B+.

Love at first smell.
Excellent construction of Cavallier where he reinterprets the original with a fruity twist in the opening that away from softening its quality, It accompanies harmoniously the oud wood and vetiver base.
the original is very present but also achieves a contrast of sweets/bitters that make it maybe more appealing than the original.
the grapefruit notes are perfectly blended with a ginger vein , getting a very sexy result and nothing artificial.
absolutely thumbs up!!

This has a fresh, bright opening of citrus and vaguely ginger notes, the latter seems quite synthetic. Oudh is contributing the bright aspect, and it develops in intensity. The scent gets a bit sweet in the dry-down. Where’s the vetiver? Overall, I find it screechy-synthetic and tiresome.

A bit sweet and the herbal/"medicinal" accord prevails. Where is the oud here? I don't really care, because it's just so boring. If I want medicinal/herbal I'll reach for Green Jeans, which also has pine and much more interesting. If I want an oud oriental I'll reach for the original M7. If this was trying to be somewhere in between those two types of fragrances, then my comment would be "I have no need for such a fragrance." Whenever I think of a bland fragrance, this one is the first to come to mind. I'll give it a neutral because it's not a "bad" fragrance, and perhaps someone will enjoy it as a safe office fragrance. However, my choices for office/school fragrances are Higher or even Cuba Green.
