The review
Magnificent Wood scores 5.3 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing M7 Oud Absolu.
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.
It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.
At $89 per 100ml it costs 24% less than M7 Oud Absolu — the cheapest of 2 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
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
Yves Saint Laurent M7 Oud Absolu is bergamot and mandarin orange at first, agarwood (oud), vetiver and myrrh at its heart and amber, musk and patchouli at the end. Perfume Parlour set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top
- bergamot
- mandarin orange
Heart
- agarwood (oud)
- vetiver
- myrrh
Base
- amber
- musk
- patchouli
The 2011 revival of M7's oud-amber accord, cleaner and more polished than the 2002 original.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 2 twins of Yves Saint Laurent M7 Oud Absolu we can price, Magnificent Wood is number 2 on price per 100ml.
