Oud, amber and myrrh build a dark, resinous warmth deepened by labdanum. Smoky and balsamic, it's a stripped-back study in woody-oriental depth. Rich and brooding.

The Signature
Unmistakable. Always has been.

M7 (Original) keeps the sweetness pared back, dry and austere. That is 13th percentile for sweetness across 5,322 scored fragrances.
Projection, risk and texture describe how a fragrance behaves in a room and on skin. Where wear reports are thin, those scores rest near the middle by design, so a mid-range reading here is a statement about the evidence as much as about the scent. Warmth and sweetness are derived from composition and do not carry that caveat.
