What do reviewers say about M7 and Magnificent Black?
The oud doesn't wait for permission. It arrives with density and weight, with its resinous intensity and its warmth. That's what you get: a fragrance that makes its presence known, to its darkness,.M7
Amber-forward and unapologetic. The mineral water accord keeps things cool while violet's powdery sweetness slips through. It smells expensive, not like you tried to smell expensive.Magnificent Black
Good to know
