Orto Parisi Megamare is a Parfum launched in 2019, created by Alessandro Gualtieri. Megamare opens with Bergamot and Lemon, settles into a heart of Seaweed, Calone, and Hedione, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, and Ambroxan. Orto Parisi's Megamare carries an Acquired verdict, a musky-led wear.

This is a divisive beast, a love-it-or-hate-it monster that can clear a room or have people begging for its name. Recent batches are apparently dialled down, so older bottles (or nuclear strength pre-reformulation clones) are the true Megamare experience.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Also Works:
Date Sport

Megamare's nuclear projection and longevity make it utterly unsuitable for office wear, as it's often described as a 'room-filler'. Its unique, challenging marine profile leans away from formal settings, but its strong presence can be intriguing for a confident date night or a bold casual statement. It could work for outdoor sport due to its 'oceanic' vibe, but apply very sparingly.

About

Megamare plunges you into the deep, dark ocean. It opens with a flash of bright citrus from bergamot and lemon, quickly transitioning into a briny, oceanic heart of seaweed and calone. The base is musky and ambery, with a potent mix of musk and ambroxan, grounded by a hint of cedar. Expect a powerful, mineralic, and intensely marine aroma that evokes stormy seas and ancient depths.
