do women wear this cologne?

YSL M7 Oud Absolu is a severe wood fragrance with a strong projection. Although there are fragrances for women which offer agarwood (oud) as the primary note, this is not one of them. I think only a very mannish woman could carry this off (i.e. a woman who likes to revisit the "Annie Hall" look of the late '70's might feel comfortable in this). The other elements appearing here (patchouli, myrrh, mandarin, French labdanum) which might have mitigated this effect in another oriental, woody fragrance are pulled into this "black hole" of oud and seem to reappear as spagettified "ghosts" in the dry down. Even a man who is contemplating purchasing this should have acquired some sense for what oud is before attempting to wear YSLM7OA. Not for beginners, it is a very dark, sophisticated and masculine attar designed by Tom Ford in 2002 and then reintroduced as part of the YSL "La Collection". Most reviews of YSLM7OA I have read seem to think this reinterpretation smells the same as the original but I can't attest to that because I never smelled the original release. I would never blind buy this for anyone unless I knew his or her tastes very well. Even though I am in love with YSLM7OA and have never regretted adding it to my collection there are days when the thought of its absolute, unrelenting version of oud makes me abandon the idea of actually wearing it on my body. Oud is just like that.

Is this genuine? Is it in a black and glass bottle or just glass?

It is definitely join you want! It is in a black and a glass bottle, the top is black overlay on top of the glass bottle.
