About This Perfume
M7 by Yves Saint Laurent is a Oriental Woody fragrance for men. M7 was launched in 2002. M7 was created by Jacques Cavallier Belletrud and Alberto Morillas. Top notes are Rosemary, Mandarin Orange and Bergamot; middle notes are Agarwood (Oud) and Vetiver; base notes are Amber and Musk. M7 by Tom Ford embodies male sensuality. It is the seventh men's perfume by YSL and the second one created by Tom Ford (who worked as the creative director for YSL at the time). The perfumers behind the fragrance are Jacques Cavallier and Alberto Morillas. M7 was accompanied by a very provocative advertising campaign with a nude man. The M7 man is elegant, sensual, masculine and desirable. The face in the commercials is Samuel De Cuber. M7 is a heavy, rich, intensive and masculine fragrance, dominated by dark, warm and dry precious woody notes and a heavy, natural, earth-like note originating from vetiver. The formula of this perfume encompasses assorted trees and raw, odorous plants. The composition begins with elegant citrus notes of Italian bergamot, Sicilian mandarin and rosemary from Southern France. The warm heart contains one of the most expensive components—Agarwood, followed by vetiver. The perfume closes with a soft ambergris trail and musky notes. The bottle colored in warm nuances was designed by Tom Ford and Doug Lloyd. The perfume was created in 2002.
