Intenso

....In large parts, yes!

There is no question, at least in my view, that Lattafa is approaching Megamare with the fragrance called Atlas.
Atlas is characterized by a strongly salty, algae-like note, which is most reminiscent of the deep ocean. In this respect, it is undoubtedly a true aquatic.

Compared to the Megamare, however, the Atlas is actually a somewhat more charming version of what is nevertheless undoubtedly a rustic "shark's head".
Silage and persistence can easily keep up with the much more expensive Parisi fragrance. And to emphasize my statement here once again, Megamare is one of the most potent fragrances ever for me and usually serves as my personal benchmark in all my reviews on the subject of stamina and silage.

Just like Megamare, Atlas manages to fog a room within a few minutes, others would say to contaminate it. Usually 2-3 sprays are enough for this.

But what do I mean when I say that Atlas is the slightly more charming variant?
Well, it is often the case that Lattafa's largely replicated fragrances are less rounded and less harmonious, sometimes even more synthetic.
This is certainly not the case with Atlas compared to Megamare.
It is much rounder and expresses a certain harmony at the beginning, with a slightly sweet undertone, which is clearly due to Davana.
You can also sense a hint of citrus if you manage to sniff your way through the salty-dominant DNA.
The iris in the heart note and the entire base probably also harmonize a little, although I can't explicitly filter it out.
And so Atlas actually manages to appear much more harmonious without forgetting who its great role model is.

In my personal opinion, statements such as "the fragrance is not wearable" are not acceptable. On the other hand, you should think about when and where I show up with Atlas, because like its big brother, you can quickly become annoying with fragrances like this.
If you want to stand out a little and are not at war with salt per se, I can only recommend a test.
I will be happy to wear it at outdoor events and if I want to really stand out again, I will certainly wear it in a well-dosed manner in a professional environment.

The bottle rounds off the picture perfectly and is the perfect match for what is offered in liquid form.

...largely yes!

If I had to compare the new fragrance from Prada, I would say it is very similar to "Luna Rossa Ocean (Eau de Toilette) | Prada".
In some moments, especially in the transition from top to heart note, I can also clearly recognize parallels to "Luna Rossa Sport | Prada".
However, I personally found the latter less pleasant, as it simply doesn't seem rounded and harmonious. The new Le Parfum does this much better.

Nevertheless, and I think this should be clear to everyone, Prada is not reinventing penicillin here! Such fragrances should therefore be approached with a correspondingly reasonable and rational expectation.

A Luna Rossa is a Luna Rossa and I find it remarkable that Prada has created a basic DNA here that is always recognizable.
To be more precise, I am talking here about a thoroughly elegant note, which can usually be perceived through fine powdery notes. This DNA is also present here, albeit somewhat less pronounced.

The fragrance starts with a clear citrus note and is therefore quite fresh.
The Prada newcomer gallantly skips the heart note, because I don't smell any saffron here, which I am personally pleased about. Saffron is certainly on everyone's lips thanks to some fragrances and yet it's not my world.

The base note, on the other hand, is much clearer, into which the fragrance plunges with breathtaking speed.
Sweetish amber and a rather dry, woody note are quickly recognizable.
Nevertheless, the fragrance loses little of its freshness at first, but this changes over time.
As is so often the case, the citrus fades and what remains is a sweetness that radiates on an amber base, paired with a continued dry, woody note.

Silage and projection are quite strong at the beginning, but after 1-2 hours the whole thing flattens out noticeably. In terms of staying power, Prada lasts around 6-7 hours on my skin.

The bottle is quite successful, although the name and bottle color once again don't really match the fragrance, but that's nothing new and doesn't automatically make the whole thing bad per se. I find the spray head less appealing, but that's the case with all Luna Rossa variants...

Conclusion:
If you own the "Luna Rossa Ocean (Eau de Toilette) | Prada" and are satisfied with it, you will probably only need it when the bottle is empty.
If you own a "Luna Rossa Sport | Prada" but would like it to be rounder and a little fresher, a test would probably not be a bad thing.

If you look at the fragrance pyramid, you might think it's something...
I also followed this thought. The result: a fallacy!

For me, the Yacht Club disappoints across the board and couldn't be more boring.
Well, it's affordable in terms of price, but apart from that I can't find much positive to review here.

To my nose, there is very little to smell specifically.
A slightly citrusy base, over which a cheap-looking cardamom and amber cocktail then pours out.
All of this is ensnared by a synthetic that finishes the whole thing off.
Absolutely no twist, no charm, nothing special.
Evil tongues would boldly express that this is a 0-8-15 fragrance in the color blue, which you can find in any drugstore, mostly on the lowest shelves.

I don't know what the fragrance wants to be and I don't know what it needs to be for.
I really like fresh and blue fragrances and rarely go so hard on them, but that remains an option for me here.

The fragrance wants to end on a miserably sweet, slightly woody base.
If anything, I see this fragrance on a teenager, certainly not in a yacht club.

Longevity is moderate, around 5-6 hours, silage moderate.

In principle, a statement would have sufficed to describe this fragrance. However, as it is still quite new on the market, I would like to try to provide an olfactory insight that is a little more detailed, insofar as the fragrance ultimately allows it.

Blu Divino has nothing more to offer than citrus and ginger.
This can undoubtedly be sufficient for the summer and on hot days sometimes exactly what you need.
Whether I want to spend around 100 euros for 50 ml is up to you.
I'll say it up front, for me the price and performance are not right.

Because again, there's nothing more here than ginger and citrus. Maybe a little clary sage somewhere, but what is that anyway?
What's more, I don't find either the bergamot or the grapefruit to be sparkling.
The fragrance seems rather dull and mundane to me, especially in view of this DNA.
In my opinion, it doesn't bring the freshness to the skin that I wanted and ultimately expected.

As a friend and lover of fresh and blue fragrances, Blu Divino disappoints me.
The disappointment is further fueled by the very weak silage and the rather poor longevity.
There are much better candidates for me here, so I will confidently leave it at one bottling.

The fact that Arethusa is named after a plant, more precisely a type of orchid called "Arethusa bulbosa", does not seem entirely surprising.
Although we do not find an orchid within the fragrance pyramid here, a connection can be made in this respect by clearly stating that Arethusa by Tiziane Terenzi has a strong floral note.

But that's not all, because in my opinion there is a whole lot more to discover here, so that you end up with a really beautiful fragrance.

In addition to the floral, quite dominant influences, grapefruit plays a decisive role. Supported by the ginger, the Adam's apple presents its citrus and thus clearly and pleasantly loosens up the rather dense floral notes.
As is typical for Terenzi, the whole thing has a somewhat synthetic DNA, which I would not criticize, as there is an overall harmonious cloud of fragrance.

In the first few minutes, the synthetics still cause a little "stinging" in the nose. However, the sandalwood in the base quickly takes away the character and rounds off the fragrance noticeably.
I also perceive a somewhat clearer orange blossom in any case, as well as jasmine.
I can't explicitly smell all the other notes listed, but they certainly do the rest.

The bottom line is a fresh, harmonious, somewhat synthetic and floral fragrance whose citric influences are constantly present, but fade more and more as the fragrance progresses. Nevertheless, Arethusa is much more than a simple "floral fragrance".
In my opinion, the perfume is unisex wearable, although I would love Arethusa a little more on women.

Silage and longevity are in the good mid-range. The fragrance projects moderately without disturbing or filling the room. Accordingly, the fragrance is suitable for a number of occasions and can also be considered an all-rounder here.

I like the bottle, Terenzi provides a small cap in addition to the "large lid". A little caution is required when holding the bottle. This should not be done on the "large lid", as after a very short time it only sits quite loosely on top and the bottle quickly slips out of your hand.
