Megalodon

So how do I start. MEGAMARE brought the Megalodon to life. A beast of its own seeking its prey in the sea. It devours everything around it, an omnivore that neither feeds nor stops. Either you admire it or you get scared and scurry away. Truly an unopposed predator in the territory of the Aquatics. If a megalodon was stranded and extracted into a bottle, it would smell of this perfume
In short, this perfume smells salty aquatic. Megamare's most significant feature, however, is its overflowing and enormous durability and sillage

The sound of the sea

Megamare obviously belongs to the more polarizing scents and I can understand why. In my eyes it is not a typical perfume that you apply to smell good or to radiate something subtle like "neat" "success" "attractiveness", etc.
For me, it seems more like an attempt to describe the sea in the words of a fragrance and I find this attempt very successful.

I experienced the story like this:
The first (and only) spray feels like a 20-meter wave that breaks into itself and then opens the view to the roaring sea. Somehow I have the feeling that the scent changes between two slightly different scent colours in the beginning and it feels like a wave up and down. I can't describe this smell exactly, but it comes close to a mixture of salty air and something spicy, which gives me an image of copper with verdigris So no classic freshness in the sense of citrus notes or similar
The whole thing remains relatively long (about 4 hours) until the fragrance becomes a little "cooler", the spice becomes a little more subtle and it gives the impression that the sea is calming down a little, but the salty and cool-looking remains.
Again almost 4 hours later the scent changes slightly and the only note I'm sure to recognize (since I have the herb at home and know it from Ganymede) is the Immortelle. It blends with what else is in the fragrance to create a smell that evokes the association of salty sand on the beach, as if after a stormy and exhausting escapade through the sea, one has finally arrived at the safe beach and is left there simply exhausted but satisfied.
This way the fragrance fades and remains present for another 4-6 hours.
So in fact a very very high durability, only after more than 10 hours only close to the skin and then still perceptible. However, the silage on my skin is not quite as extreme, so the first 3-4 hours well perceptible (well over an arm's length) and then until about hour 8 about an arm's length (according to my girlfriend).

For me, this is not a fragrance for all days and not a fragrance for the office, but one for me privately. For me privately, because I love the sea and I really like this story about the sea. Maybe I have to say that I have an affinity for experimental concepts because I myself am involved in experimental music. So I am not one of those people who say "yes, who doesn't appreciate that, has no idea, blah, blah, blah..." or because a religion or something else makes it, no, I just like it. Most of it at least, if pure provocation is the goal, I think it's sh**e too. The other fragrances of Gualtieri I don't know yet and I'm not sure if he is such a provocative little bear or not, but with Megamare I had the feeling that this is meant seriously and was created to express how the sea could smell, not just to do something (à la Sécrétions Magnifiques) that "shocks"
To conclude with a musical comparison - this is the best way to express myself - Megamare is in my opinion not a pop song that wants to romantically depict the sea as a theme, but also not a heavy metal number that deals with ship accidents and the brutality of the sea. It's just an experimental attempt to depict the real sound of the sea, the waves, the roaring wind, the water hitting high rocks and the sand being washed away.
Such a concept is special and not everyone likes it and I don't think I need another such fragrance in my collection, because otherwise I like it more classic (so smell good in the office etc.). As a sea-fan and person who likes experimental things, I wouldn't want to miss Megamare at least, because it causes a lot of feelings compared to all the other aquatic creatures I've tested!

Off to the shower

Mr. Gualtieri has really enraptured me at one time or another and I consider him one of the greats of his guild. But, I will make it short, this mare is not mega and not mine at all.

The first time I sprayed it on, my face was so distorted that for a short time I feared I would have to remain in this completely disfigured state for the rest of my life. How should I describe what had just happened? Most likely a tsunami, which had rolled over my sense of smell out of nowhere.

It leaves an incredibly tart, salty and aquatic note on my skin afterwards. In the middle of it there is also the smell of some algae shreds, which still stick to me now. Mei, was I lucky that I wasn't hit head-on by a fishing boat, but Mr. Gaultieri fortunately did without woody notes.

Again and again I sniff at myself and yes, in the Drydown the whole thing becomes a bit more pleasing now. The waves have calmed down: The sea is clearer now and the algae are gone. As if the salt water had formed a small crust, the whole thing sticks to my skin and is quite present. So the durability and projection are really good.

It reminds me of the old days. The beach holiday on the Mediterranean. When you were a little shit, splashing about in the sea. And then you went back to the beach. Your hair, your skin, all increasingly a slightly salty crust that smells of water and sea. It's not that bad. But somehow it's also good, when Mummy and Daddy give the decisive come-on before dinner starts: So, now off to the shower. Thanks. Finally.

Megamare and Bitterfeld

Gee, where do I start? I've only been with Parfumo a few months. To date, I haven't rated a fragrance or written a statement.
This is not because I am here as a "peeping Tom", I have probably lacked courage so far. My nose is not yet so well-trained that I had the feeling that I had to add my mustard here. There are far more competent members here.

Now to Megamare ;
Before I participated in the sharing, I naturally looked at the evaluations and statements. It was clear to me that it would be a fragrance with rough edges. I was attracted by the idea of salt and aquatic in one fragrance. I just imagined a wonderful sea scent. First of all: I have perceived a lot of salt, but I cannot establish a connection to the sea.

The first and only sprayer and then a deja-vu.

It's the late 70's/early 80's. I am in the GDR, in the Chemieburg Bitterfeld (city in Saxony Anhalt). I sit with my parents in the car and we drive with a cake in the luggage to my sister.
We're passing through the industrial park. A huge chemical factory, a whole area with smoking chimneys, from which sometimes yellow, black or white clouds of smoke rise. It steams and hisses at every corner. The buildings, the street - everything is dull, grey and dirty. Closing the car windows does not make it any better. You cannot escape the smell. It goes through every crack, in every corner. Probably even a nose plug wouldn't have been able to do anything.
I feel nauseous, and hours later the smell still haunts me. It is everywhere - like Megamare - with a sillage of 10+++++. Even the cake absorbs it. It tasted like it smelled in Bitterfeld. And the shelf life is unbelievable. It already tends towards 12 ++++. We stayed overnight at my sister's and in the late afternoon of the next day we still had the smell in our nose. Well, I remembered all this after a sprayer Megamare.
I don't want to offend any perfume that likes this scent. Surely it has its supporters and fans rightly, otherwise it wouldn't be so highly rated. And fortunately every little nose feels differently I am speaking here exclusively for myself and have consciously spoken in the text of smell and not of scent, because with scent I associate positive feelings. I felt Megamare quite badly. It caused me nausea and headaches.
In any case, I recommend refraining from blind buying. He's very special So, and after this verse, something good at the end. I have decided to give away the 5ml minus the test spray from my Sharing.because I do not intend to let Megamare ever again near my nose.

You have the choice

I can confirm that this is the most powerful sillage there is, given the current state of knowledge.
I thought about how to approach the test and decided to apply a spray to my right forearm, but I didn't really want to use it on my neck.
In the beginning I smelled salt, like in one of those salt flats on the Mediterranean. There sea water is put in small containers in the sun and what remains after evaporation is about what is in Megamare.
After about 15 minutes it becomes milder, like a cool wind coming from the sea.
I then find the aqautic notes very suitable for this. Somehow fresh with something grassy
Unfortunately, much more change is then no longer visible.
The next 8-9 hours I smell the sweet - watery - fresh smell again and again.
Becomes more and more familiar and the first time the perception of it is not unpleasant.
As long as the humour is there for this megamare, he is like a buddy without a home.
After about 9 hours of endurance the first time came some discomfort, you may know it, if something is disturbing or excessive, it must be removed or something must be done.
After about 10-11 hours I decided to try to get it off with soap Worked, good thing I only had a sprayer on my arm.
All I can say constructively is that everyone has a choice in this stuff.
Can well imagine to spray a shirt in the summer with it, with which I can live with the fact that it '' forever '' smells of it.
If I feel like it, this buddy of mine will be there.

Mega Nightmare

for those who don't like algae or salty notes ... And although I appreciate aquatic and salty notes like Bleu Turquoise by Armani, this one is just too much. First of all, it doesn't develop at all, it stays the same from the beginning to the end (strong), i.e. salty salty salty with a little bit of algae and this algae smell is sometimes perceived fresh, sometimes fishy.

So, let's get to the real highlight, because there is not much more to say about the scent. The highlight of the fragrance is probably the Sillage and durability and I am pretty sure that many people have only come across the fragrance because of the 9 Sillage rating. I knew what power Megamare has, but I didn't know how I had underestimated it:
The sample arrived this morning and I applied it directly, nice and easy. One squirt, and so little that it just hit the skin. Strong, but was to be expected, then a few hours later it became too much for me and I tried to scrub it off with soap. Hmm, still there, but that was to be expected as well. So 2 sprays of Tobacco Vanilla on the neck to cover it up (applied under the chin the tobacco burns your nose hairs) much later when I didn't notice TV anymore the good Megamare came back. After a short panic attack I ran to the toilet and scrubbed my hands again with soap + Habit Rouge EDT on my hand, I calmed down and enjoyed the rest of the day. Earlier while brushing my teeth I noticed a strange smell, friends I thought a horse was kicking me! This Megamare was still there and had survived my Habit Rouge
Well, so much for your adventure with Megamare. The scent was allowed to leave me the same day I got it. I hope the future owner will find great joy in the scent. I will continue my aquatic journey with Bleu Turquoise... See you soon!

The Monster Freshness

Megamare, a name that sounds very interesting. But that's not why I didn't test it, but because Megamare was declared as an extremely strong fragrance, since I had just been looking for the strongest fragrances for months :-).

But enough of that, more later...

First the description of the fragrance

It starts extremely fresh, pungent, salty and algae. I can hardly describe it. It hardly develops differently, in the end it becomes a little bit more woody and warmer.
So much for the fragrance description.

It definitely smells very exotic, unique and seaworthy.

I think I can do better with a short description of the picture.

In the beginning the big sea seems to rage totally. Big waves, extreme storm and heavy thunderstorm. After a few hours the thunderstorm as well as the storm stops, but the sea still makes big waves. It symbolizes an infinitely powerful force as well as hidden secrets behind it.
This sea won't let her put up with anything. It's just there. This raging sea remains from beginning to end. Not until one dives into the sea, one discovers beautiful landscapes with an extreme depth and meaning. But it is exactly this plunging into it that makes it so difficult, since very few dare to do it. But this is the only way to understand Megamare :-).
Megamare is a fragrance that you have to understand and feel connected to it in order to be able to wear it with a clear conscience.
It's not a fragrance that everyone will like, but that's the point. The most important thing is the bond with the wearer and this will certainly not happen every day.

I think the sea fits the fragrance perfectly, especially in terms of durability and projection. The sea is infinitely powerful and mighty. That perfume too, I'm telling you.

I have tested several perfumes, especially for durability and projection. I just wanted to find the strongest thing.
Man, so much was there - Black aoud, Erba Pura, Interlude Man, Black Afgahno, Duro, Epic man, and many more........
And Megamare has managed to get to the top, especially in terms of reaction.
Never before has a fragrance managed to create so many reactions from people like Megamare.
After more than 5 hours it was said: Your smell is extremely strong, the whole corridor smells of you. And many others followed.
One was even amazed how a perfume can be so strong.

So much for that.

The strongest thing I know, a bomb. Extremely potent, pungent and strong. Therefore pay attention to the dosage. I used to take three sprayers
My beloved Interlude man is right behind what projection and durability is all about. Both extreme beasts.
Portable for every season I find.

If you want to wear something unique, strong and exotic that will make you stand out from the crowd, Megamare is a must try it.

Oh yes, after several researches Megamare is pure perfume. I can clearly confirm this because of the very oily relationship.
For the special moments.....
I hope I could inspire you for Megamare :-)

You want it, you want to know what's in it!

Then jezz and here, without flax and dot and coma, uh ... with a comma:

So, I took the trouble and personally talked to experts, university lecturers, sirens, seafarers, among others also to the passengers of the Black Pearl and to contemporary witnesses from back then,
they all say the same thing,
that Jehovah's Witnesses have too much free time and that they have the precious elixir with their hands (just like bees and cows do in the meadow, it doesn't matter, but these children are also called Amber (but not to be confused with the terrible Ambär!), you could also call them Honey, not Monica, to stay in the language of bees, but in this case no Honey was present in person, I swear... i did not have sexual relations with this woman ...),
so,
from the depths of the oceans, totally natural, to then fill it into bottles at full moon with the power and rotation of the earth, because only in this way, and only in this way, is the whole spectrum of the rare aromas of the dangerous Jessesmegamaria captured and released bombastically back into the environment, without our nose or psyche being damaged to any great extent ... and I say this because I have an absolutely clear conscience ... without coma, that stuff really kicks in,
i swear!

Exceptional Aquat - requires a package insert

After my experience with Megamare today I have to write something about it. It was more by chance that I came across the scents of Orto Parisi. While surfing through the souk in the evening I noticed an offer from Seminalis. Some kind of residual filling from a sharing. Evaluation wasn't the bomb, but it was worth a test. A few days later the bottling arrived and I was hooked. Why this bad rating (Well, not that bad ;-) ) . In any case, I then came across a bottling of Megamare in the souk. Only just under 4ml, but what the heck. The first test had this wow moment. In my 2.5 years at Parfumo I have certainly tested a few hundred fragrances and only rarely has there been this "wow". Since there is no pyramid of scents and my nose is not so fine to decipher a scent, I would agree with the term "salty aquat". Well, even though I had only taken one sprayer, the rest of my family, as soon as it appeared downstairs in the living room, immediately responded. But not as hoped for "Oh, you smell great, what's that smell? I like it!", but more like "Whoa, what's that smell? Is that you? Fierce!" It was, as I said, only 1 sprayer ;-)! In the course of the evening the general rejection turned into a "Yes, now you can bear it quite well. Actually, it's okay." Anyway, a short time later the bottle moved into my home. By the way, I think the bottle and the whole packaging are quite successful. A sprayer towards the neck with an outstretched arm has proven to be a very good dosage. Yeah, sounds kind of crazy. What difference does it make how you spray the stuff on yourself? I somehow convince myself that the spray mist will be better distributed ;-)
Let's get to today's experience. Due to the weather situation today's carnival procession was cancelled and I went with my family to a relatively spontaneous, small celebration. Since the disguise somehow smelled like a year's cupboard, I allowed 2 sprayers with today. What can I say - the whole room smelled of me. I was already glad that the door to the outside was open all the time. Not that you misunderstand me, I like the scent and I like to smell it very much. But that was then somehow too much of the attention. Therefore, whatever you do, never do more than a spray!!!
I think that most "perfume smugglers" (is that how you say it? - laugh) don't like this scent, because it is too extreme, or is perceived as too extreme. I don't find it at all extreme as a fragrance. Sure, extraordinary, but not extreme.
You just have to be careful with the dosage. From my bottle I will probably fill about 30ml for the souk. The remaining 20ml will last for years if used twice a week.
So if you are looking for something extraordinary, you should consider a test. Some love him, others...

Standing on the dock of the bay

Strange. Stood on a pier that is stretching way out to sea. Rocks with seaweed and seagull shit are over the side of the pier.....the salt air....the weed....the shit all combine and hit your nose full force.....megamare. seems to go on for ever just like the pier out to sea. But there is a beauty there is a volatility with in the ocean. Megamare. Powerfull sickly rolling in waves the smell continues. Beautiful and scary it carries you away.
