Very nice comparison video. I like your candid, no frills style of review. A big plus that you don't have any music blaring loudly in the beginning. Looking forward to more videos! Keep up the good work!
just sprayed the last few drops of my M7 that i was given back in 2002 or 2003. Shame they arent making it anymore, I'll try the reformulation and see how it compares
I've had M7 Oud Absolu for quite sometime and just got around to picking-up a bottle of M7 (reformulation). They're a little different, but I love 'em both. For me, Oud Wood was a nice (about a 7) but performance is terrible on my skin.
Thanks! I'm glad you found it helpful. They're both good fragrances. M7 is so unique I'd always recommend trying it before buying it. Unfortunately, that's easier said than done.
Are there any other stores besides Tom Ford boutiques that would let you sample the Oud Wood? It seems expensive enough that stores don't even carry it. The only access I have to the big city is when I am flying through Seattle.
You should be able to sample it at Neiman Marcus in Seattle (Bellevue) . It's really nice stuff and I like it more than I used to. At this point I would rate it at least an 8.
Oud wood is such a well done oud fragrance, for me it is more herbal than medicinal. Unlike other oud scents, Oud wood has a natural vibe to it and it is by far the most pleasing oud smell in the market. This scent cannot be compared with M7, as M7 is a bit powdery and the oud in the fragrance can offend people. Oud wood deserves 10/10 according to me. Just my point of view, anyways i like your reviews.
I've got the Vintage M7 and Oud Wood...I don't get any cherry vibe from the M7 at all, even with nose to my skin it's really just that burning wood...I'd love to try the Vintage M7 vs the new M7 My Oud Wood smells exactly like cherry cough syrup....so I'm so confused its the exact opposite of what you said for me, crazy!
I think it's a solid 8.5 out of 10. I have a 1.7 oz bottle which is perfect, because I only use it on special dates with my wife in the Fall/Winter months. No one smells like this in my area. By the end of the date this juice is smelling ultra sensual just in time for bedroom gymnastics...Yeah Buddy!
M7 V1 the vintage one. The Best with true agarwood (aquillaria malaccensis oud). V1 contains a true and expensive essential oil bought in stock in 2001 by YSL! Tom Ford contains a Firmenich synthetic replacer.

Thanks for the comment! It is a well done scent. I agree that it's probably less weird and offensive than some other oud fragrances.
I really enjoyed this. Intelligent and very well done. Bravo.
great video. I recently layered M7 on top of Oud Wood and the result was GREAT.

Thanks for the recommendation. And thanks for commenting!

In law we call this critical evaluation. You have critically evaluated both fragrances really well. Well done and thank you!
Corbii Darko Thanks Corbii! I appreciate the feedback!
Thanks! I can't wait to try it, I will have to make a trip over there my next time down there.
Thanks! I'm glad you found it helpful. They're both good fragrances. M7 is so unique I'd always recommend trying it before buying it. Unfortunately, that's easier said than done.
Thanks for the comment. I would like to smell the original formulation.
Thumbs up and subscribe, all because of your outro was great.
I will be watching you.
And I’m new to fragrances
Oud wood for life
Please
Excellent take on these two comparisons! As for M7, which one do you personally prefer, M7 original or M7 Oud Absolu?
+Jolly Victorian To tell you the truth, I've never smelled M7 Oud Absolu. Thanks for the feedback on the video and thanks for watching!
You are giving these two a "7". What fragance is a 9 or 10 for you?
Now I'm very curious about this fragrance (YSL/M7) now. Great review

Excellent vid. I own the TF Oud Wood, but not the M7. I'm now very interested in blind buying it. Thanks for sharing!

M7 (original formulation) for me. Enjoyed watching.
Very good comparison and review! I love Oud Wood.
You come to Vega$ quite often? all 6 or 7 videos that I have watched recently, you mentioned coming to my hometown. Nice LDS guy like you?...LOL

I'm glad it works for you Ascendo.

What about projection of the Oud wood?
Average, not a beast like TV.But the scent is kinda pleasent.
i lucked out and found an original M7 set complete with shower gel and travel pouch for $70
Thanks for watching and thanks for the feedback! I can definitely work on being less repetitive.
I really appreciate your comment! I look forward to your feedback on future reviews.
Yeah, you got that right! LOL! Knowing me, I'll blind buy it just based off of my gut. Thanks again!
M7 has a sharper medicinal note. Oud Wood sweeter and smoother IMO.
Haha you got kinda cheap there with the spraysnof TF on the paper. 200+ bucks a bottle you definitely got to conserve that juice
YSL M7 oud absolute smells like Tom Fords Black Orchid (women), try this comparison instead.
That's interesting. I've never smelled M7 Oud Absolute.
it's a great scent, I recommend trying it. Do you know black orchid?
What? I own both, but i think they are very different.
If you think those two are a 7, I'd love to see your 9 and 10s. No I'm not being funny, I'm genuinely interested.
