Megara

This is unexpected. I have never been the biggest fan of fresh scents, I have always preferred “darker and heavier” scents - but this is now my go to everyday bottle. The opening is very synthetic, but just wait for it to do its thing. I made the mistake of spraying it a few times on my shirt, which I then wore to work - my colleagues mentioned they could smell me across the room (I wanted to change my shirt immediately). This is not complex, at all, very linear. But what it lacks in complexity, it makes up for in pure performance and longevity. At this price point, this is a must-have.

Another Alhambra summer masterpiece. Just goes to show you what kind of BS maceration is. Straight out of the box this filled my living room and kitchen with 1 spray. Tone down the 'weirdness' factor of Megamare and you get this. Hard to explain but you can see the what the perfumer was trying to capture — the essence of the deep sea, albeit with a slight hint of nail polish remover (acetone). Nonetheless, it leans masculine and is wearable, perfect for even the hottest summers. 2 sparys each side of the neck and you're good for the day, and maybe the next.

A near-perfect molecular clone of Orto Parisi's Megamare. It captures the brutal, abstract marine fantasy with stunning accuracy. The opening is a bergamotto immediately salted and dried by mineral Norlimbanol. The heart is a powerful blend of oceanic geosmin and white musk, given immense body and legendary longevity by a massive dose of Ambroxan. Verdict: The same hypnotic, vast ocean storm in a bottle, but with even more impressive performance and an unbeatable price. For those who want to wear the force of the sea.

I got this one in today, so I'll update later on longevity and sillage. But the initial impression is great! The opening is strange,..not terrible, but definitely a bit off-putting. About 30 minutes later that bad stuff is gone, and all that's left is a a beautifull fragrance that reminds me of a salt-water swimmingpool. Great for Summer and Spring, But I'd also wear it indoors in the cold seasons. Really good stuff. In some ways it reminds me of Kenzo Homme EDP, which is one of my favorites.

i got this one before lattafa atlas came out. this is a great fresh aquatic scent. its longevity and projection is probably the best in all of maison alhambra lineup. its a unique freshie, not smelling like your typical fresh scent. its hard to explain what this is but it reminds me of going to a rocky shore in a sunny afternoon where water splashes on the rocks and the micro droplets of water fly in the air to reach your nose. fantastic addition to anyones collection

@TwoRowRouDee I have both. I prefer Megara, only because it seems to last longer and project more. They're almost identical on my skin and clothes. I love them both, personally. I'm macerating my Atlas to see if the projection and longetivity improve. Long story short, you can't go wrong with either one if you enjoy this scent profile. Atlas has better packaging/presentation if that matters. Personally, they're 2 of my favorite fragrances.

honestly i got it because the reviews strong, salty etc... Strong idk maybe just got it first spray mehh. Scent i really like but its not what i imagined it is some oceanic,sea type of smell but missing that saltiness it is there somewhere but not strong. Overall i like it deff something i would only wear at the summer vacation close to the sea in the night out. Well see after few days/weeks mby something improves so i change my review.

Warning⚠️ This stuff is so overpowered Projection is nuclear and can be smelled from 5-8 meters away! I tested the longevity on my skin and i got a solid 15+ hours But the shocking thing is it lasted over 2 months on my clothes!! I swear every time i open my closet and grab that on t-shirt that I sprayed it on it, i can smell it clearly!!! 1000% recommend if anyone is not sure to buy it or not

Actually smells very unique, in a good way. opening is a little seaweedy and dried down it is very pleasant. I have never tried megamare and that one has more mixed reviews, seems riskier. This bottle is an actual nuclear, the whole room smelled me and last after a shower, after 2 showers it still has a hint on my skin. Insane bottle for an insane value, will reorder.

My most complemented summer aldehyde and water like perfume. Nothing to do with Megamare. I own both. This one is clean, easy, sea scent. My bad after few days I get nose blind when everybody else can smell me from miles away. Can be a blind buy. Perfect for summer vacations.

Megara an aquatic version of Orto Parisi Megamare which is a deep unique masculine marine scent. Loud projection for the first 3 hours then it dials back after wards with a lovely scent bubble 🫧 Gives a full day wear...longevity is a 10/10 I give it an over all 9/10👌🏼

I just register to add this review. I literally do 2 shots and get to office. Than one after another person come to a room and said that whole office is covered with some masculine parfume. I literally need to change my cloths to make spacer for a work xD

good price for value and very very good performance and sillage, smells like you're on the sea and the breeze carrying algae smell and the salty air with a metallic fishy smell but in a very good way, the scent feels like something so deep in it

One word Nuclear Projection...warning count your sprays @TripleBee ....This is my third bottle as my previous two bottles were grabbed or you can say snatched by my fellow mates, as people loves this fragrance on you, Give it another try

This stuff is fantastic. Has a super funky ocean smell. Reminds me of being at the beach in Boston with all the funky ocean smells. Reminds me of French riviera but funkier. Probably the best performing maison alhambra out there. 9/10.

@SourPickle69420 What do you mean ? I'm not supporting anyone particularly... I don't care of dupes ! If I like something I buy it ! It could be Original, twist, dupe, clone, analog or whatever you call it, but I don't grade them ;)

This is a wearable inspired version of Megamare. From an intensity standpoint: Megamare tops, with Atlas as second and this one is third. However, if you like this profile, very wearable and well done. Shukran Habibi

Love this but its not as deep as megamare. Performance is good but not beast mode. Original has stronger marine feeling but this one does the job too 👍 pressurized atomizer, nice bottle and nice box

This fragrance has gotten me the most compliments I've ever received from any fragrance I've ever had. Great performance and very unique. Nobody smells like this.

Es un gemelo muy parecido pero ligeramente mas salado y ligero que megamare. Es bueno si te gusta este ADN
