A perfume with extreme longevity and power, a brown beast from Orto Parisi. It’s a dark mariner, smelling of marine depth and seaweed, yet it’s also sweet, with a fresh and very musky side. A very peculiar and addictive mix. Be careful with the sprays; 2 or 3 are enough; you walk and people can follow you just by the scent you’re leaving. And even though they say it’s been reformulated, if it is, I don’t even want to know what the first version was like. It was brutal.
Pungent, synthetic, swampy, extremely long-lasting (for both good and bad). Hard to wear, gives me a headache. An olfactory experience, undoubtedly.
Megamare is a true ode to the ocean. It’s different, it’s unique. Its evolution is indescribable; every time I wear it, it leaves a trail that imprints calm, firmness, and security. Without a doubt, this should have been Poseidon’s perfume.
I don’t understand where the extreme longevity or huge sillage is. I just bought one, and it doesn’t last 2 hours; even after two hours, I can’t even smell it on myself. Maybe it was reformulated, but this isn’t any beast mode.
A pleasant salty marine aroma. I always had fear of trying it because they said it smelled like a rotten dock. The longevity? In my case, zero projection. Sometimes I smelled my Ariel laundry detergent and not Megamare. That’s all I need to say. I know there are beastly batches and others that are better; I suppose I got the one that doesn’t project anymore.
My first application lasted almost two days on my arm. Incredible.
The Orto Parisi fragrance I like most by far. I don’t know any with better performance; the longevity is insane, lasting on skin far beyond what’s written, the trail is huge, and you notice when someone passes by. Be careful with the sprays.
I detect a very faint licorice note, but it’s not listed among the notes, and I don’t know how it’s added.
Rivers of ink have been written about this perfume, so I doubted I could add anything beyond my own experience. But Megamare left such an imprint that the bare minimum was to dedicate a few lines, almost like a tribute. It obsessed me from the first time I smelled it casually, walking back home on foot in Milan during aperitivo hour. People were relaxing on terraces, loosening their ties with a Spritz or prosecco, or sporting Prada bags in Brera’s niche perfumeries. I didn’t know who owned the scent, but it haunted me with every step. I smelled it again days later, and the next day. It should have been 2019, right at its launch, a revolution in Milan. Usually, I avoid popular perfumes, seeking exclusivity on the lower shelves of perfumeries, where I find cheap, unknown jewels that saved me during my student days. But Megamare made me say: ‘I need this like I need to eat.’ Finding it took years. I tried asking in Milan’s niche perfumeries: ‘Do you know what perfume smells so strong on the street?’, and the salespeople looked at me like I was crazy. After that episode, I gave up. But sometimes, stopping the search is enough to find it. Last summer, on a road trip, as soon as I arrived, I smelled it. I wanted to grab my friend by the neck, but I knew it was Megamare by Nasomatto. I searched online, and when I returned, I bought it. I never thought a perfume could make someone so happy. I agree it’s not a classic mariner; it’s an interpretation of the sea as only Gualteri dared: a deep, turbulent, raw sea that tells us he’s in charge. Although I was tempted to wear it all year, on September 21st, I put it in the drawer. Curiously, while ironing an old t-shirt, I briefly smelled Megamare again and felt the waves beating in Milan, 155km from the coast.
I’m going to win another Balloon Burrito for this. Megamare, which is more of a Megaplaya, opens up the nose with something that only recalls young white wine, with notes of fermentation and alcohol. Fortunately or unfortunately, that lasts about an hour and a half; afterwards, for over 12 hours, it smells of clean but intense seaweed. It doesn’t evolve anymore. Honestly, I expected more from something that has blown so many heads off. For me, I’d stick with Black Sea by Pazzaglia; although it doesn’t have as many similarities, it delivers more, even if its opening is a bit sharp.
I got access to this fragrance via a vial. Previous reviews said everything about it, which made me hesitate to write something, but since these are personal diaries about our experiences, that encouraged me to do it. First off, I’ve always been apprehensive about salty and excessively marine fragrances, but this one reset my perception of them. At least I liked this one. Since I live in an area near the sea, with coastal restaurants and parks, I’ve associated the aroma with familiar fragrances, or perhaps I’ve idealized it. Whatever the reason, as a personal experience, it’s a warm and peaceful journey for me. Although I don’t have access now (due to price or local availability), I’m left trying the closest Arabic dupes while I can still own this and ‘kill’ the anxiety. It’s much more masculine than feminine, but a woman can wear it under certain circumstances. Ideal for daytime formal and semi-formal events.
Fantastic marine perfume with a salty and citrusy touch; I even get a bit of green notes. Absolutely not unisex. This is 100% masculine.
Unless you’re a collector, I don’t see the point in Megamare. If you like typical winner perfumes (Aventus, Ombre Nomade, Layton, etc.), don’t buy this fragrance. It’s a human repellent, a totally unpleasant smell. Don’t even think about buying it blindly.
It’s extremely expensive, but for those who like going to the beach and smelling that place, it’s exceptional. The longevity lasted two days on my arm even with typical showers, and on clothes it lasts up to a week. It smells of sea salt, citrus, and woods. Personally, I wouldn’t want a woman to wear it, but it could be unisex. I had a 5ml decant, and the full bottle cost me $40; you can find it for around $500, very pricey, but it’s the experience of having a portion of ocean scent in a bottle.
It lives up to its name. Perfect in terms of what it wants to convey. A very marine and blue scent, but with a heavy presence of algae. Personally, I don’t like it and wouldn’t wear it, but it perfectly conveys the message you want. In my opinion, an ultra-niche fragrance.
A complicated but unique fragrance; we know how Alessandro Gualtieri works and how he pushes his perfumery into the niche and original. I always wanted to buy it but was scared by its reputation. It starts with a salty, marine, deep, and cold theme—nothing beachy—accompanied by algae that can be polarizing: for some it smells ugly or weird, but for others like me, it’s interesting and wearable. As hours pass, something strange happens: it becomes gourmand; I perceive a caramel-with-salt accord; some say it smells like sugared orange; coffee also comes through. There are many undeclared notes, and you can smell the calone, making it somewhat old school. Definitely not for daily wear; it’s versatile in climates and I love it in the cold, but if I use it in summer, not with too much heat, because it’s very strong and lingers on clothes. It’s a ‘beast mode,’ strong but not a madness that fills rooms like Kosmala 4. Anyway, if artistic perfumery is your style and you’re looking for a unique scent, this is for you. Don’t buy it blindly or expect everyone to compliment you; they will notice it, but not everyone will love it.
I tested it on blotter paper and the opening brought me citrus notes and a salty alga that I fell in love with, so I bought it. However, as it evolved on my skin, it turned into a salty licorice, leaning gourmand. The longevity is at least two days, but the problem is the projection: nobody in my circle notices it.
Jesus Christ, Conqueror! I bought it because most reviews said it was fresh with a ‘sea’ scent. To me, it doesn’t smell like the sea; it has a very strong, unpleasant synthetic odor. Plus, they describe it as unisex, and it certainly isn’t. It smells masculine, penetrating, synthetic, and overloaded with projection. I sprayed it once, and without exaggerating, I’ve washed that blouse on a hard cycle three times and the fragrance is still there. Truly, it has immense power and a huge sillage.
The cheapest and tastiest way for us city dwellers to feel like we’re strolling along the coast, no matter the season, especially in the cold. It’s masculine, mature, challenging, and a beast of performance. It’s made for you to enjoy, not to please others, because honestly, it bothers more than it pleases the people around you. I use it only a few times a year, but I enjoy it so much that it will always be in my collection.
Opening is a horror: a bilious, leathery scent that reminds me of vomit on car upholstery, though after months in the sun it has dried out. As it evolves, that gastric acidity loses its edge and something beautiful starts to emerge beneath. There’s a flash of citrus freshness and running water… but only for a second, because in the end it smells like pressed sepia, with all its lemon and everything. It even whets my appetite. But let’s not get our hopes up: it’s sepia overwhelmed by the iron, as tough as leather or a shoe sole.
The most polarizing fragrance in my collection. There’s no middle ground: you either love it or hate it; my friends have been the latter case. I’ve heard: ‘Hey, did someone not shower?’. I love that it produces those sensations. One thing is certain: thumbs up or thumbs down, it never goes unnoticed. Recommendation: don’t overdo the sprays, it can be deadly.
Megamare is one of the best marine works in perfumery. There are fanatics and detractors; undoubtedly, it’s polarizing due to its power and character. It’s not beachy marine, but deep-sea, murky, and difficult, where the power of nature is always present. I love it; it’s a true niche jewel. I understand some don’t like it; it presents certain complexity. The price-to-quality ratio is wonderful, not just for the scent, but for the brutal performance. It feels like more than
Gualtieri is a genius, but I don’t like his humor with the names, especially when reviewers take their dubious jokes seriously. Does anyone know what sea smells like Megamare? None. Heeley’s Sel Marine actually smells like the coast; this one doesn’t. What does it smell like? What’s in it: amber and musks. 1.7% Calone leaves no aquatic scent. 55% Ambroxan, Ambrocenide, Ambretolide, Ambermax; 1.50% Bulgarian rose, 3% heliotrope, etc. There’s more earth than sea, more chemistry than breeze. The scent is chemical, polarizing, an Ambroxan metal bomb. Like Bergamask, simplicity is compensated with an overdose. Here lies Gualtieri’s genius: invasive, artificial, metallic, original. He has followers, but I’m not one. Perfumery must break molds, but this doesn’t improve on the previous one. When to use it? Only at home. Don’t ruin dinners or dates. As an experiment, it’s worth it, but as a perfume, with respect for who created wonders, no.
I’ve always had a thorn in my side with Megamare. I saw it in reviews and forums with that halo of a cursed legend… and finally, I had it. I tested, used, and faced it. The raw truth, no frills: Megamare is not a perfume, it’s a warning. I thought they exaggerated the intensity, but they weren’t joking. It’s not ‘strong’ like a poorly applied Sauvage; it’s a concentrated oceanic storm. It’s algae, salt, oxidized metal on an abandoned dock, Poseidon’s breath after smoking a cigar out at sea. It lasts like a tattoo, projects like a scream in a cave. It invades, crushes, dominates. Fresh? ¡FRESH!? Where? Not for a picnic or a casual afternoon. It’s for a beach wedding during a storm, wearing a wet leather suit. Summer? Run, it’s not for you. No sweetness or caresses. The musk hits with rudeness, the sea spits out algae. It can make you dizzy, disgusted, or nauseous if you’re not prepared. I’m not joking: it might make you want to vomit if you’re sensitive. This isn’t a criticism, it’s a fact. Don’t buy blind. I know the hype seduces, but it could be your worst financial mistake. Buy a decant, test it with respect. Megamare isn’t ‘unisex’; it’s brutally masculine, dark, marine, and defiant. It’s not flirtatious. If you use it to attract women, you’ll probably scare them off. It’s a statement: ‘I’m here and I don’t care.’ Did I like it? In my way, yes, there’s fascination in its rarity. But it’s for very few occasions. Maybe an eccentric wedding or a ritual by the sea. Not for the office, a date, or your mother-in-law. In short: it’s a wild creature. Not for everyone. If you dare, do it with humility and a decant. Scent: 5.5 👃 Originality: 10 🌟 Sillage: 10 💨 Projection: 10 🔭 Longevity: 10 ⏳ Versatility: 1 🔄 Formality: Formal 👔
The only thing I can think of is THE KRaken FROM PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN. Yes! Just like in the scene: giant, majestic, VIOLENT, wet, salty, full of algae, and VORACIOUS. Directly from the abyssal zone but extremely beautiful and complex. THE PERFUMERY KRaken.
Way too much misinformation from YouTubers… this doesn’t smell like the sea or the Kraken. It’s a chemical bomb: extremely high in Ambroxan, Calone, Hedione, likely Ambrocenide and Ambretolide for the musk. Dry down reminds me of Erba Pura. Gualtieri used long-lasting ingredients and ordered them to find meaning, though it’s not well-blended; the notes stand out. But I like it. The Hedione creates an addictive, magnetic trail; it’s strong, but it doesn’t give me a headache. I love the scent from the nape of the neck, but directly from the forearm, it’s horrible.
I’ve had it for a year and I’ll speak plainly. I’m going to contradict myself, but the best advice is to *TRY IT*. On application: melon and citrus (unlisted melon!), which evolve into salty melon with algae, mega Ambroxan, and synthetic vibes. Then it musks, but it’s a dirty musk, cleanly dirty… and here’s the contradiction: it’s dirty yet clean at the same time. Is it bad? No. It’s an Ambroxan and Calone bomb, but it’s not ugly. I love it, I use it daily. It’s clean and dirty simultaneously. In the trail: with heat, 6 sprays at 11 AM and it was still brutal at 2 AM the next day. I went to the country club and people said it smelled incredible. Verdicts: friends who love it and others who say it smells good but is invasive. Recommendation: yes.
I bought this Orto Parisi beast blind due to my Ambroxan addiction. After 5 years, I still have half a bottle; it’s the definitive Ocean Beast. If a superhero represented it, it would be Jason Momoa’s Aquaman. Oxidized, metallic, and wild marine scent—nothing clean, but pleasant. If you overdo it (more than 2 sprays), you’ll flood the room. Not for the office. I heard it in a hotel where someone used it so much the whole lobby smelled like their signature. If you spray it on clothes, it’ll end up in the washing machine; otherwise, it’s a disaster in the closet. In a group, you eclipse every other scent; people will love and hate you equally. I’d buy it again with my eyes closed.
To my nose, it smells like the inside of an olive jar xD, not bad. It opens with a rich marine note and settles into saltwater and copper over wet wood. It’s strong! I didn’t need more than 3 sprays. It’s not easy to wear; someone used to designer or soapy marine scents might clash with something they could perceive as bad taste. But when you expand your palette, you understand that Megamare is a concept from start to finish. Use it just for the thrill of wearing something no one else knows.
What can I say about Megamare that hasn’t already been said? After seeing it in countless forums and reviews, I decided to buy it, and this is my experience: Yes, it’s a unique fragrance. It has a very peculiar smell. The truth is that around here, many have painted it as something that stinks (further down, someone claims it smells like ironed sepia 🤣). And there is truth in all this: there are better scents, of course, but it’s pleasant. And yes, its longevity is brutal, but it’s curious that it’s not a dense aroma… it’s very rare for it to be almost subtle. But it’s there, and everyone smells it. Two compliments from two people in the two days I wore it. In the end, I concluded that to receive compliments from third parties, a perfume has to be practically a beast mode for others to perceive it, and since it’s not an unpleasant smell (this one isn’t), the compliment almost certainly falls… and that’s why I love it. Wear it where you want and when you want, summer or winter… As for the smell, I notice a lot of licorice although it’s not declared, but it’s obvious, also the musk and some citrus. The bottle is nice, the price for the quality of perfume you’re buying seems acceptable to pay 140€. And it does evoke the sea for me… In one word, excellent: Scent: 7.5, Longevity: 10, Projection: 10, Presentation: 8, Price: 7.5, Total: 8.60.
Unique and exceptional fragrance! Confirmed: it’s impressive. WARNING: don’t wear it in enclosed spaces lol, you’ll be smelled from blocks away. It’s meant to stand out, period.
A gram of 24-karat gold is around 120 euros, 50 ml of Megamare costs 150. If today someone told me to choose between a 50 ml bottle of MGM or a 70-gram gold chain, I’d choose the bottle; it’s an absolute bargain for its entire useful life with 3 sprays, but the ending is for sitting in front of the screen, grabbing the popcorn bowl, and enjoying. The ending lasts about 48 hours, it’s a one-way journey that will take you to the deepest depths where you’ve never dreamed of being… yourself.
Great, fantastic, mega 🙂
My first ‘ultra niche’… Honestly, I don’t understand the comments that it’s unusable. Megamare, my first ‘difficult to wear’ perfume… I don’t understand these comments about this gem of perfumery. It’s the fragrance that has given me the most compliments, sincerely. Watch out, abusing the sprays is correct. I only put on a maximum of 3 to 5 sprays. Longevity 100/10, Projection 10/10, Scent 9/10 (after a few months you learn to appreciate it more and it goes up to 10), Versatility 8/10, Price 8/10 (3100 Mexican pesos), Sillage 10/10. A total beast mode. Special for outdoor events.
What true madness, it’s an experience that leaves no one indifferent. Fascinating.
This perfume has made me rethink the authenticity of all the reviews I’ve read. The fragrance is sweet but with a fresh touch, making it quite wearable for a warm daytime climate. Although I live on the coast and winters are around 30 degrees, I would consider it more for the night, even with the heat. On my skin, the musk, bergamot, and ambroxan dominate. It didn’t cause me anosmia (four sprays), and the sweetness of the fragrance keeps reaching me constantly. Despite the hype, I didn’t find the most challenging notes mentioned, like the condom note. In my case, there’s a slight “plasticized” note, but it’s more like the smell of a sweet soda or a candy bar. The opening is delicious, with a marine nuance perceived instantly. After four hours, the cedar persists, reminding me of some incense I brought from Patagonia. I recommend it widely. I’ve never heard it on other people nearby, so it will make you stand out.
It doesn’t remind me of the sea especially; it takes me more toward a rich alcoholic drink, a cocktail, or something similar. It’s synthetic but rich, with some nuances of algae and white musk. I like it. It lasts a crazy amount, 24 hours on skin in winter, very projecting. The price is good: 50 ml that can last as long as 100 ml of others with good performance and as much as 150-200 ml of what we usually find on the market; it’s not that expensive, honestly. With two sprays, one on the nape and one on the shared wrist, you’re covered if you don’t want to overwhelm the crowd. With four, you’re going to be hitting people everywhere. It can cause anosmia; the first time I put it on a dryer, I couldn’t smell almost anything for a while, then I started to perceive it again.
Bottled sea, Megamare, is a radical oceanic experience. Within the aquatic universe, it stands out for representing the sea water note in a hyper-realistic way. The opening combines soft, mature citrus that quickly yields to the marine accord. On skin, the calone feels natural and refined, without the synthetic note that usually bothers in other aquatics. The evolution maintains the marine presence, accompanied by clean accords and light woods that give it structure and elegance. The result is an intense fragrance with great power and projection, setting it apart from the typical “blues” on the market. The emotion it conveys is total immersion in the ocean, fresh but sophisticated, ideal for those who want to stand out with a unique marine profile. Although it can be associated with summer, its versatile character allows it to be worn on different occasions, always with the assurance that it won’t go unnoticed. My rating: 9.5/10. Not a blind buy, but if you want a distinct and elegant blue fragrance, Megamare redefines what it means to be aquatic.
I have to say that as of today, this perfume has been reformulated; that beast of performance is no longer even its shadow. I’ve tested different batches and compared them to the latest, and there’s no color left. The good news is that it’s a much more enjoyable fragrance, but the part that used to smell of leathered iron by the sea is almost completely gone, with more citrus on top and a flood of musk. I like it, yes, but it’s not what it used to be. A shame.
Bought it because of the hype, and luckily, it was only a partial letdown. The opening is brutal, very aggressive: salt and metallic notes that really hit the nose. It’s not a gentle or easy-to-wear opening. I sprayed it three times, and it was more than enough for my wife to start feeling sick: nausea, even the urge to vomit. That’s when I realized this wasn’t going to work. At work, someone told me it smelled like “wet wood,” and honestly, they weren’t far off. Definitely not for me. Ended up selling it. Not a fragrance to buy blind. And to be honest, I don’t consider it enjoyable in a normal setting. It’s a good fragrance, yes, well-made and with character. But it’s one of those that you probably enjoy more in your personal space, practically alone.
