Contamination or why this can't be a summer fragrance

First of all, I would like to thank Norleans. He actually made good on what he promised in his comment. Megamare at the price of shipping costs. Respect and thank you for that.

And to get straight to the point, and I hope Norleans doesn't take it the wrong way, I can't fully share his assessment.

Mr. Alessandro Gualtieri is not known for his olfactory restraint. Basically everything with impact and cannons. And Megamare is no exception.

The fragrance kicks off immediately. Spicy, aquatic, and above all very synthetic (otherwise it wouldn't be feasible). And one mistake should not be made. Don't hold your nose directly at the spray point. There, I perceive exactly what Norleans describes. That salty chemical punch. Horrible. But really only if you put your nose right in there. Otherwise, from a certain distance, the scent reminds me of a modern fresh fragrance. My first thought was Light Blue Pour Homme Eau Intense by Dolce&Gabbana. Only this time really intense.

I want to share a little anecdote about longevity and sillage: I received the sample last Friday. I sprayed a small (and I mean really small) spritz on the top of my left forearm in the afternoon and shortly after put on my jacket. And five days later, I can still perceive the scent exactly at that spot on my arm when I put on my jacket, where I sprayed it five days ago. And stronger than the perfume I just applied. Megamare has literally contaminated my jacket. I don't know what the ocean was called during our supercontinent Pangaea. Megamare would fit. And if this fragrance had existed millions of years ago, one would still find molecular remnants during excavations today and wonder why the dinosaurs wore perfume. In other words, the longevity and sillage are insane. A spritz on bare skin, and really only on the skin, is completely sufficient. I will probably be able to pass on my sample due to its efficiency.

Because of this, Megamare cannot be a true summer fragrance. A summer fragrance should refresh you in heated cities at temperatures beyond 30 degrees. And if this scent hasn't worn you out, your fellow humans will. I promise.

Therefore, Megamare remains extraordinary in its overall construct. However, purely in terms of scent, you unfortunately only get "normal average." And please: be careful with your nose.

Regards

Glad to read this. Still, I don't think I'll warm up to this scent, even though I really like some of Gaultier's compositions. I only wear Silver Musk, and that's pretty mild :)

Oh right, I wanted to mention that the second to last paragraph sounds a bit like Acqua di Sale by Profumum Roma to me.

Hello, I'm glad you find the scent much better :-)
I can definitely agree with the passing it on part.
