The review
Megara scores 5.4 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Megamare.
Maison Alhambra 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.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Maison Alhambra 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
Orto Parisi Megamare is marine notes and bergamot at first, seaweed and salt at its heart and ambergris, musk and woods at the end. Maison Alhambra set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
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.
