The review
Great Sea scores 6.7 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Megamare.
Perfume Parlour 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 $159 per 100ml it costs 61% less than Megamare — the 8th 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 Perfume Parlour 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. Perfume Parlour 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.
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, Great Sea is number 8 on price per 100ml.
