Is the juice in the bottle redish orange ? Does it smell kind of fizzy at the top for a few minutes at the start ? The reason why I ask such ridiculous questions is because I ordered samples of m7, L'Instant de Guerlain, and platinum egoiste from perfume court. I received one sample and it's labelled L'Instant de Guerlain. I think they mislabelled the decant because the juice is sort of redish orange. I believe that this is actually M7 and not L'Instant de Guerlain.

@Manniemanolo M7 is a redish orange color a little darker then L'Instant, I have to see if I get a fizzy, I know it has a kinda cherry cough syrup vibe at the top, L'Instant has a citrus coco vibe at the top and if I am not mistaken this one kinda has a fizzy vibe at the top. Once I get home I will smell both side by side, it not L'Instant extreme right cause extreme and M7 have about same color...

I really like the oud note in this fragrance. Im debating adding this one to my collection. Thanks for the review!

[codehorror]

@Kerosenetrewthe Yeah I think the oud note really makes it or breaks it for people with this fragrance, I really like it as well so I enjoy using this one. Thanks for watching.

The fragrance it's 100% synthetic so the cost of agar wood oil it's totally irrelevant. The reformulated version it's kinda mellow on me so I try very hard to find the vintage fragrance.

Nice review, thumb up!

@luciferro2002 If thats the case then you are correct cost of agarwood oil would be completely irrelevant...I myself like the original formulation as well and if I needed to buy another bottle I more then likely would hunt out a vintage one myself...Thanks for watching and for the informative input.

@codehorror I got a decant labelled M7 yesterday and it's clear yellow. It smelt very sweet, but not like le male, and it was a bit powdery with a bit of florals. I'm lost over here. Imagine that, $25 bucks for a mix up. I was better off buying fake samples on ebay. Thank you for taking the time to respond though. I appreciate it.

@MyMickers I can't wait till you get to this unique fragrance it is an intresting one and a powerhouse on my skin, but I really can't wait to hear the reactions from the women in your world because in mine they either hate it or they love it no real middle ground. Here is an example this sells lady from the shop I bought it from had never smelled it oddly enough and when she smelled it she fell in love with it, when my ex girlfriend smelled it all I got was a NO! YOU SMELL LIKE MY GRANDMA! LOL

@luisissingle Yeah I have lost a few samples myself they are easy to misplace especially for a forgetful person like me LOL...Yeah test this stuff out I would like to hear your opinion about it.
