Truly nothing like this! This is a very weird scent in a great way, it takes the aquatic style fragrances and adds a great niche sensibility to it. It smells like the sea, not the beach but the actual depth of the sea with all the volatility and all the ways it can create beauty but also wreckage.
Megamare from Orto Parisi is an absolute Atlantean kaiju of a fragrance. A massive, mysterious sea beast, a preternatural creature of divine power, wrapped in radioactive seaweed, rises from the unfathomable depths of an otherworldly ocean trench to surface in the middle of a typhoon. Tsunamis wreak havoc around the globe, saltwater instantaneously soaks every surface, a strange cloud of mossy musk forms, algae blooms, visibility drops to zero within seconds. At the vortex of this calamity is MEGAMARE, a gentle creature cursed with a hulking stature and an immensely briny, brackish odor that can be detected from other planets, other dimensions. It takes in the citizens of the world in a sweeping glance of its kaleidoscopic cyclopean eye and thinks “fucking hell, these humans are garbage” and disappears into the abyss never to be seen again. But its unearthly DNA changed the very essence of the seawater, and from every place a drop fell that day, a strange aromatic blossom appeared. And so history will never forget the vast flowering of judgment, the day of Megamare.
Powerful.
If ADG isn't strong enough for you, give this a go.
Citrus notes try their best to brighten up the maelstrom in the deep sea which is threatening to pull everything into it.
There's almost a white wine note here, and something like gasoline and metal in the distance.
Some spicy peppery notes mingle around dark salty aquatics thanks to an overdose of Ambroxan.
The calone and hedione introduce a small balance of watery sweetness and florals, but are par on par with the salty green seaweed, woody notes, and musk.
Overall, it's a dark and spicy acquatic scent with woody and smoky incense notes. The citruses do come through the depths quite often.
I really enjoy this - but I can see why others wouldn't.
