Pecksniff's Mistraal EDT

Spice, Neroli, Oud, Vetiver, Patchouli, Incense, Myrrh, Amber, Cashmere, Musk.

It took a full wearing of Pecksniff's Mistraal EDT to convince me that it was equivalent to M7 Junior. Naturally, the 2nd wearing was a side by side with M7's original formula. I have no way to compare it with the more recent incarnations of M7 as I do not have them, nor have I ever smelled them ( yet ). Suffice it to say that Mistraal is a very viable agarwood fragrance that packs less oomph than M7, but the resemblance is certain on my skin.

The medicinal cherry aspect is present, but represented in a slightly different manner and with less presence. It is a chip off the old block however and I mention this because the original M7's very soul ( to me ) was this quality. I would have never guessed that this release would smell anything like the YSL.

Mistraal is less substantial, but an easier wear in the heat for sure. I find a subtle transparency to it and it has a more obvious resin, herb and earth tone incorporated into the transitions. I believe these are more detectable because Mistraal lacks the denseness of M7.

In closing, Mistraal offers the wearer a legitimate rendition of Agarwood, subtle cherry, musk, earth and hints of resin. I didn't expect much to be honest, but I'm pleasantly surprised and happy with my purchase. Sillage is very acceptable with longevity approximately 4-5 hours on my skin before morphing into a personal space scent. Thumbs up from Aromi for Pecksniff's versatile Mistraal Eau de Toilette.
