The review

On paper, Sea Salt is a strong bet if you want Megamare for less.

HK Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Megamare's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.

At $89 per 100ml it costs 78% less than Megamare — the 5th cheapest of 8 twins we can price.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength HK Perfumes publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

The original opens on marine notes and bergamot, turns to seaweed and salt, and settles into ambergris, musk and woods. That is the brief Sea Salt is working from.

Top

  • marine notes
  • bergamot

Heart

  • seaweed
  • salt

Base

  • ambergris
  • musk
  • woods
Salt spray, wet seaweed and ambergris blasted at extrait strength — the ocean, amplified absurdly.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.

How it ranks against the other twins

Of the 9 twins of Orto Parisi Megamare we can price, Sea Salt is number 5 on price per 100ml.
