Reviews of M7 Fresh (2004)
by Yves Saint Laurent

You know, I wanted to LOVE this more than anything. How great would it be if my signature scent were some stuff that you can't even buy in a store here? Alas, it's really not special. It's nice, but all I smell are fruit loops and oud. It could use a little "more," perhaps a sandalwood or light musk maybe just to round it out. I will say this, the oud here is properly done, and I mean that "less is more" where Oud is concerned. Oud is so pungently medicinal because it IS, in fact, medicine. Oud is an antifungal oil that comes from an infected asian tree. The "wood" part of the word agarwood is misleading as it refers to the brown, resin stained parts of the tree, but the smell is the antifungal oil itself, not the wood.

Class dismissed.

Oh, my gf did like this one, so maybe this is a good one that just doesn't appeal to me.

I wouldnt consider this a "candy -like" or a lime fragrance. M7 Fresh smells more like wet cedar shavings and is rather pungent. Smells like a hamster cage to me. I spent $82 (US funds) for the small bottle.

Compared to the original it's definitley more accessable. ...BUT... at the end of the day the initial freshness wears off and you are left with a less intense version of the original. As I said I said with M7, it seems like something somebody would wear when they go to a nasty strip joint, well M7 Fresh is something a younger pimp might wear to go to see his "ladies".
