Which Should You Buy?
This one's a true Marmite scent - you'll either adore its salty, mineral marine vibe or find it aggressively metallic and floral. A divisive aquatic that promises holiday bliss for some and Windex-like disappointment for others.
Tidal Mega recreates the massive salty-aquatic-amber DNA of Orto Parisi's cult Megamare, built at 35% Extrait for a fraction of the niche house's price.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its fresh, aquatic, and sometimes clean-leaning profile makes it suitable for casual wear, office environments (if applied lightly) and sport. The strong marine and salty accords, coupled with its potential for immense sillage, make it less ideal for formal settings or intimate dates where subtlety is preferred.
Seasons
A massive salty-aquatic-amber accord is at its best in warm coastal weather, echoing the original's cult reputation as a beach-and-boat scent.
Occasions
Its huge projection suits casual outdoor wear and dates rather than restrained office settings.
