Égoïste / L'Égoïste by Chanel

Cinnamon,Cinnamon and more Cinnamon.Wrapped in a slight Vanilla and a tinge of Annisette. The opening reminds me of Eternity for about 1 second then the Cinnamon and a minor Rose comes out. Poupourri is what this reminds me of or as one person put it Apple pie. I don't really get the strong Vanilla/Sandalwood like other Orientals.The tangerine is bitter. Totally different,Very strong and lasting. Even with Brazilian Rosewood oil and Damask Rose it will not make you smell like Rosewater(like grandma). The name fits the scent...UNIQUE.

M7 Fresh by Yves Saint Laurent

Picked up a small bottle on E-bay due to the buzz. This is another scent that is completely different than anything else. Grapefruit Blast(no fruit loops or fruit in my mind)I consider Tom Ford for Men fruity but this is Cedar(like a fine classical guitar or on the negative side a hamster cage)mixed with Cinnamon and a little bit of of a cool breeze.The Cedar/Cinnamon last for about an hour and then resolves to a semi-sweet mild but different M-7 warmth. If you can handle M-7 you will like M-7fresh.If you can find it!

M7 by Yves Saint Laurent

I purchased the aftershave lotion and was surprised that the medicinal note was hardly present and dried down to a really nice warm addictive scent. I thought I was missing something so I bought a gift box with the ET 3.3 and some body wash. Man what a difference in the opening!!,Almost gagged me with a sort of smashed in the head with a blunt instrument dipped in Cough Syrup. Within 10 minutes an even stronger beautiful scent slowly emerged better than the AS lotion. M7 reminds me of taking the old codeine based cough syrup which tasted like hell but left you feeling warm and floaty. If your not to daring I would stick with the after shave lotion..Very different and my favorite.

Tom Ford for Men by Tom Ford

Tossed all my other synth/citrus scents when I met Gucci Pour Homme,then came M-7 and now Tom Ford for Men. Its a light fragrance that seems to open up your sinus cavity and the fruits are wrapped in a nice masculine resolve. Women love it, especially the next morning. NICE!!
