H7

I didn't know cough syrup could be so sexy and captivating, but here we are. If you like the sweet, cough-syrupy aspects of M7, then H7 is for you.I won't try to decipher what notes Alexandria is playing differently to achieve that effect, but the end-result is a sweeter, more medicinal masculine beast. One could argue it's a wee bit screechier up close, but in the air it remains smooth, sweet, and oh so syrupy. The performance also lasts and projects just an appropriate amount to be surely noticed but not overwhelming. I also don't grow nose-blind to H7 the same way I do with the original M7's. My little sample of H7 was captivating enough for me to blind-purchase the original M7 and the later Oud Absolu earlier in my fragrance journey As great as those YSL masterpieces are, I still savor my sample of H7 enough to eventually buy a full bottle of it as well. Of the dozen or so Alexandria fragrances ive experienced, H7 tops my list. As M7's hype has faded over the years, so too has H7 become all but overlooked amidst the commendable portfolio Alexandria has built. But it certainly deserves more attention, and I'm grateful for giving it the chance to catch mine.

OMG! Absolutely stunning. Near 100% exact to Tom Ford M7. WOW this is just a complete winner. This is FULL BOTTLE WORTHY. Buy back up bottles if you love M7. This is some of the best work from Alexandria. Hany, keep them coming sir.

A bit softer than the original. Not a compliment getter. Same medicinal feel but toned down a notch. The first few hours are more on the citrus side until the oud takes center stage which is good IMO. Longevity is strong but this one is not for everyone which reminds you why the original did not sell well and was discontinued.

Haven't tried M7 but I will give my review on H7. Opens up a little medicinal, dries down to a fresh, vetiver, aromatic smell with faint hints of woody 'oud' notes in the background. I would call it more of a fresh vetiver scent than an 'oud' scent. Not bad if you like woody fragrances.

Have never tried M7, so can't comment on how close H7 is to it. After H7's initial citrus-y and somewhat fruity opening it dries down to a great, warm woody vetiver scent. There might be a touch of oud - couldn't really be sure - but it's pretty subtle. Also has a very slight touch of sweetness. Quite a masculine fragrance. Longevity is quite good - got about a little more than 9 hours out of it. Projection was more on the average side; it's not room filling. Given all that, H7 didn't really wow me. I mean, it's nice but if I wanted to wear a warm fragrance, I'd reach for Counterattack or Ambre Sultan more than I'd ever reach for H7.
