The review
Worth a try. That is where D7 Aoud lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to M7.
The Dua Brand sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is M7's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $60 it costs 60% less than M7.
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 The Dua Brand 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
What it is chasing: bergamot, mandarin orange and rosemary up top, agarwood (oud), vetiver and myrrh in the middle, amber, musk and mandrake underneath — the shape of Yves Saint Laurent M7.
Top
- bergamot
- mandarin orange
- rosemary
Heart
- agarwood (oud)
- vetiver
- myrrh
Base
- amber
- musk
- mandrake
Medicinal oud over amber and myrrh, the fragrance that opened Western perfumery to agarwood.
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 we can price, D7 Aoud is number 2 on price per 100ml.
- 01 Alexandria Fragrances H7 $70/100ml
- 02 The Dua Brand D7 Aoud $60
