M7(2001)

Yves Saint Laurent · Jacques Cavallier · Woody

At a glance

Created by Jacques Cavallier for Yves Saint Laurent, M7 opens on bergamot and nutmeg, moves through a heart of oud and cardamom, and closes on amber, sandalwood, and musk. It is frequently cited as one of the first mainstream Western prestige fragrances to prominently feature oud, introducing the material to a broad international audience years before its widespread adoption across the fragrance industry in the following decade.
