Love/Hate Relationship

This is such an intriguing scent for me.

Is it oceanic? Well yes.
Is it fresh? Kinda
Is it a light and easy-breezy wear for the super hot days? Not quite.

I always say this: Imagine if Nasomatto Black Afgano was inspired by the ocean

Ocean inspired for sure, fresh in the opening certainly. But then I get almost a rich coffee/boozy/chocolaty feeling from it, just like Black Afgano.

I know, sounds weird. But I can’t stop smelling it! Being it because I'm intrigued by the composition or it’s sheer nuclear power.

Because yeah, get this on clothes and it won’t ever come off - And this is where my "hate" for it comes.
If this was the only scent that I had, it would be a positive (Kinda), but as a collector, I want to wear more than 1 fragrance per day, more often than not. With Megamare, this is just NOT possible.
I usually put on 1 spray of this on the back of my neck and it lasts easily through at least 2 showers on me. Oh and it sticks to everything it touches (and good luck getting it out of there).

That said, hating the excess of performance, I do like it as a Mad piece of perfumery. It intrigues me and has me coming back to it over and over again - because yeah, on me this isn't linear at all.

Polarising but I love it!
