The review

On paper, Magnificent Wood For Men is a reasonable bet if you want M7 Oud Absolu for less.

Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is M7 Oud Absolu's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

Strength: extrait, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.

At $89 per 100ml it costs 24% less than M7 Oud Absolu — the cheapest of 2 twins we can price.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Perfume Parlour publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

The original opens on bergamot and mandarin orange, turns to agarwood (oud), vetiver and myrrh, and settles into amber, musk and patchouli. That is the brief Magnificent Wood For Men is working from.

The 2011 revival of M7's oud-amber accord, cleaner and more polished than the 2002 original.
