Crisp fruity sweetness
Eau Mega is quite different to Flowerbomb, by the same house. Even though both fragrances are quite sweet, Flowerbomb tends to be sugary and candied, while Eau Mega is crisp and refreshing.

Everyone is mentioning a melon note, however when I first smelt Eau Mega, I immediately detected pear. The opening is a little similar to Champs Elysees by Guerlain, just not as strong and more watery.

The scent is certainly very pretty and great for Summer, however I believe that I would tire of this fragrance quickly. There's nothing overly outstanding about it. What makes it worse is that there has been a sudden boom of Summery, almost aquatic, light fruity scents on the market recently. I'm using the D&G Anthology Series as an example. There are some direct comparisons to L'Imperatrice, L'Amoureaux and La Lune in this fragrance.

When the initial refreshing pear note subsides in the opening, the basil appears alongside the peony and jasmine, which is an interestingly unique blend. The peony is not strong here thankfully, so the fragrance continues with its subtle and crisp quality.

Strangely enough I can only smell the lemon note in the drydown, which to my nose is mostly lemon and musk.

Eau Mega is nice. I wouldn't say that it's particularly green or floral, it kind of sits between being a fruity floral and an aquatic. My only gripes with Eau Mega is the ridiculous price and the clunky, impractical bottle which looks incredibly cheap and nasty in real life. The spray mechanism makes it very difficult to apply in a hurry, as I do most mornings.

The lasting strength also wasn't too impressive for the high price tag.

Relaxing day by a crystal clear pool
Eau Mega is a refreshing fragrance with a lovely balance of soft flowers, fruits and aquatic tones. It is one of those scents that bring feelings of harmony, balance and relaxation. I can see myself doing Pilates or yoga while wearing this scent. It does not overpower the wearer. It is safe to wear for everyday activities where you just want to smell fresh and pleasant.

The fruit notes in the opening remind me so much of a fruit salad (in a good way) with juicy watermelon, melon and pear. I know that the first two are not listed as the notes, but I do smell them here. The aquatic notes are pleasant and gentle like an ocean breeze. Peony and jasmine are soft and feminine. The sillage is not overpowering. I usually spray a generous amount. While the scent is not strong, it lasts for at least 7-8 hours. The dry down is a soft musk.

Eau Mega is a lovely aquatic scent and though it is slightly synthetic, I find it quite wearable and pleasant in summer time.

Summer Feeling
Today I tested Eau Mega by Viktor & Rolf and I must say, it was a really good idea! I was a bit grumpy because I spent the beautiful day with the wonderful summer weather tidying up our apartment, and Eau Mega immediately lifted my spirits. I found the top note to be very surprising, as it was quite cucumber-like (salad - not pickled cucumber, thankfully :+)) and refreshingly invigorating. After a while, I caught a whiff of the aquatic notes and the peony. Overall, a very nice soft summer fragrance. I can't detect any musk, but there is a hint of sandalwood, albeit faint. Eau Mega is not a scent for lovers of exclusively classic floral fragrances, in my opinion, but rather something for the more adventurous. I'm adding Eau Mega to my wish list! And please be lenient with me, this is my first comment, so I'm still practicing.

What a misleading name can do
I have to admit that Viktor & Rolf really tied the noose around their own necks with the name for this perfume. I mean, what do you expect when a large, blonde Amazon wrapped in golden silk is used for advertising (ad campaign featuring Raquel Zimmermann)? That it smells fresh & aquatic ... probably not.

Despite this confusion, I liked the scent from the very first moment. The aquatic notes dominate, but I also think I can catch whiffs of violet, lemon & peony (without it coming across as "floral"). For me personally, a truly great spring fragrance!

Green Flower Meadow
~ Inspiration ~
Until now, I only knew Viktor & Rolf's "Flowerbomb" and "Bonbon," both of which are very sugary-sweet. I received a sample of "Eau Mega," otherwise I probably would never have noticed this fragrance.

~ Bottle ~
The small, cylindrical bottle features a striking golden atomizer on the side with an oversized "V&R" logo. "Eau Mega" is a play on words, meaning both "Powerful Water" and the Greek letter "Omega" (the last in the alphabet).

~ Scent ~
Contrary to expectations, it is overall very fresh, green, and floral.
The top note of crisp pears, violet leaf, and a hint of basil creates a fresh breeze. Aquatic notes, zesty lemon peel, sweet jasmine, and peonies give it a radiant presence. (Lily of the valley is apparently not included, but I perceive it distinctly...) The base of white musk, cashmere, sandalwood, and cedarwood imparts a (soapy) creaminess.

~ Longevity ~
On my skin, it lasts a long time for an aquatic perfume, about 6-7 hours (even a bit longer on clothing and hair). It is light and unobtrusive, yet still intense - thus, a few spritzes are sufficient.

~ Occasion ~
The perfume is refreshingly floral and is perfect for the warm days of spring and summer for those who find other fragrances too fruity-sweet.

~ Conclusion ~
A lush floral composition that especially highlights the green notes.

Eau Mega is truly mega and immediately wrapped me in its charm. Pear, shower gel, and fresh basil sprigs. So fresh.

I miss it and treat myself to a delicate drop once a year. A unique fresh scent, yet a little warm.

Herb green-fresh, cucumber-fruity, delicately floral, long-lasting - I love this stuff so much that I even like the terrible bottle!
