Those who are inclined towards the concentrated power of the salty sea get more than they could hope for with Megamare by Orto Parisi. The fragrance opens with a tart, slightly algae-like and at the same time spicy-salty intensity. The atmosphere feels almost oppressive, as if the spray of the North Sea were whipping directly into your face during an approaching summer storm. You can literally feel how the air is saturated with the salty aroma of the sea, while a subtle warmth and softness resonate at the same time. The fragrance behaves very linearly and hardly loses any power throughout its entire course. Only in the later drydown do light, almost only hinted at, citrus nuances appear on my skin. Sillage and longevity are just as uncompromising. The latter would almost have to be specified in days. Even after a thorough shower, the scent is still clearly perceptible on the skin. On clothing, especially on natural fabrics, it easily lasts for several!!!! days. Overall, Megamare is an absolute sea monster. Anyone who loves the smell of a summery North Sea storm with subtle citrus accents will hardly be able to forget this fragrance.

The fragrance Montabaco Intensivo by Ormonde Jayne opens with a citric lightness that feels very mature and is reminiscent of opening fresh, green citrus fruits. Once the fragrance has settled slightly on the skin, increasingly floral and slightly tea-like nuances emerge. The top and heart notes are consistently accompanied by an elegantly integrated, subtly tart freshness. Dry tobacco and woody accords blend harmoniously into the fragrance profile and form an exceptionally pleasant, balanced base. After about two hours, the base moves more into the foreground, making the fragrance overall tarter without losing its characteristic freshness. As the wearing time progresses, the fragrance becomes increasingly close to the skin. On the one hand, this makes it an ideal everyday scent, but on the other hand, one occasionally wishes for a stronger projection that fills the room more. The longevity is overall to be rated as good to very good: even if the fragrance is perceptible closer to the body after several hours, it remains present there for a long period.
