The review
On paper, #Mega is a reasonable bet if you want Megamare for less.
The Dua Brand 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.
At $65 it costs 68% less than Megamare.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength The Dua Brand 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 #Mega is working from.

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