Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Megamare Parfum
Huge, briny and powerful, a sea scent that fills a room. A giant dose of seaweed and calone drives it, ambroxan keeps it going, and one spray is plenty. Save it for outdoors.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Megatron Extrait
This one's a proper beast, not for the faint-hearted. It demands attention and definitely splits opinion - some will love its intense marine punch, others will feel like they've gone ten rounds with a sea monster. Not a blind buy, unless you're feeling adventurous and love Ambroxan.

Season and Occasion Fit

Megamare

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A huge briny marine scent is a summer perfume first, with spring a fair second. It is too much for cold, closed-in days.

Occasions

Also Works:
Date Sport

Its enormous projection rules out the office. It suits outdoor days, a bold casual statement or a confident evening, applied very sparingly.

Megatron

Seasons

Best For:
Spring

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Given its nuclear projection and longevity, this isn't office-friendly; it'll fill the room before you've even had your coffee. It's best suited for casual, outdoor settings, especially where its strong aquatic character can shine without overwhelming others.
