D7

Great interpretation of M7, and have really enjoying this one. It's not a beast mode frag, but does have a nice bubble, and lasts a long time. Picked this up for $30 on Ebay, and I have nothing to complain about, aside from it needing to macerate for a few weeks. 7.5 out of 10.

First proper wearing of recent acquisition Dua D7, the inspired expression of Yves Saint Laurent’s legendary M7, and I somehow managed to avoid this inspired expression despite it coming out in 2019. It very accurately captures the heart and base, and it’s only the top notes in which are featured less in the opening, but the dry down is very close to the original, a spicy blend featuring oud, citruses, rosemary, and vetiver. It’s very much apropos for cooler weather, especially, but it can work on a summer evening (for me), I dare say. Now part of the Dua Designer Line, it is rather modestly priced at $33 for 30ml, and performs quite well—a bargain, for sure, like most of the DDL. 7 out of 10

This is a pretty good imitation of M7. Dua got one right!
