M

M by the British label Ted Baker, released in 2002, is a woody masculine fragrance that most wearers also describe as ambery. A third notice spicy, sweet or musky sides. The note list is short.

The notes are listed as one group. Coriander opens it with a dry, slightly citrusy spice. Fir and fir resin bring a cool, green, resinous forest note that defines the woody side. Guaiac wood adds a soft smokiness and vetiver a grassy, earthy dryness. Tonka bean gives an almondy sweetness, and amber and musk a warm, soft base that rounds off the woods.

Fir and guaiac over amber and tonka suits autumn and winter days and reads as a quiet, outdoorsy masculine rather than a loud one. Community reports on longevity and sillage are not yet available, so it is worth sampling on skin before buying.
