Cool, crisp, and bright... Megamare on acid?
There is so much stuff crammed into this bottle that I, as someone who is very much an amateur at all this, can't always tell what exactly is going on with it.

It reminds me of a glitzy, sparkly version of Megamare, so I suspect it would be a divisive scent.

I'm not sure it's especially 'Arctic' for me -- I get a lot of juiciness from this that wouldn't really be present in the dry Arctic -- but it's cool, crisp, and bright, which I suppose I can liken to the sun returning to the tundra after its winter hibernation, if I really stretch my imagination. I've been wearing it on sunny winter days.

Like the other 'Sea' scents from LP, it is an absolute sillage and longevity bomb.

Artik Sea – Lorenzo Pazzaglia
This fragrance emerges as a blank page painted with snow, capturing the essence of the Arctic Ocean in a small bottle.
It is not merely a marine perfume, but rather a sensorial symphony that reshapes the very elements of nature: salt, ozone, seaweed, ambergris, and warm woods — creating a new world where cold meets warmth.
From the very first spray, an icy polar breeze envelops you.
Bursts of lemon, lime, yuzu, and grapefruit combine with the bitterness of wormwood, the sparkle of pink pepper, and the brightness of orange blossom.
It feels as if you are standing on the edge of a glacier, with the metallic salinity stinging your breath.
Then the heart unfolds slowly, like a hidden garden beneath the fog: green myrtle, jasmine, white roses, and ripe fig are encircled by polar wisteria, as if an orchid has blossomed in the frozen air.
Here, the citrus notes soften, and the calming voice of the sea emerges, swaying between greenery and herbal whispers.
Finally, the depth is revealed: ambergris merges with seaweed and wakame, oakmoss, and ambrette seeds, settling into warm amber, patchouli, and precious woods.
The salt never fully disappears but gradually fades into a musky embrace, prolonging the fragrance’s life on the skin.
Its performance is finely tuned: longevity is rated as good to strong (4/5), and projection is moderate (3/5).
It never overwhelms a room with its presence, yet it leaves a gentle trace suspended in the air. Some find it brighter and more wearable than the formidable Megamare by Orto Parisi, while others describe it as metallic and antiseptic — a nuance that requires a specific taste.
This fragrance is suited for moderate seasons: spring and summer, with perhaps a shy presence in autumn.
Speaking as an Iraqi… in Baghdad, when the heat climbs above forty degrees, two sprays are sufficient — or better yet, reserve it for the evenings by the Tigris, where the breeze cools and the heat of the day subsides.
It is a fragrance for light cotton shirts, coastal cities, and travel bags opened to new adventures.
In comparison to Megamare, the difference is clear: Megamare is characterized by noise and metallic drama, while here we find clarity and wearable brightness.
Artik Sea is not a repetition; it is a personal poem — salty in realism, poetic in effect.
Artik Sea embodies the sea in silence… salt transformed into melody… cold retreating into the warm embrace of musk and amber.
It is a fragrance for seekers of the unusual, for those in pursuit of adventure — one that begins with the very first spray and does not end until the last breath.

This is treating yourself to a frozen margarita, heavy on the salt rim, while on a tropical vacation where the flowers are blooming right next to the beach. This is a unique balance of fruity and citrus, where is both juicy and bitter. The flower blend doesn't have anything specific notes that stand out to me but it didn't feel generic, just lovely sweet floral. Then underneath is pile of salt, the fancy kind you find in health food stores or in spas where they spritz it with essential oils and they use that as an exfoliate. This is young and flirty fragrance. You do get the sea in this fragrance but I never really got "cold" or "artik."

This fragrance lasted all day, about 8 hours on my skin. It also was very aromatic, creating a nice scent bubble of citrus and florals. There are two sizes and prices available starting at 28ml for €110 and 50ml for €145.

When Selkies walk…!
He had lived on the smallest Scottish Orkney island since his birth. And this for half a lifetime. An island full of legends. He knew all the myths and tales. But he did not believe in them! One evening, he left the pub in the village and just wanted to go home. He took the shortest path that led through the dunes along the rocky coast. The wind whipped against his face. It was as biting as a citrus cocktail made of limes, yuzu, and all the citrus fruits he knew. He smelled the icy air and also himself. The absinthe that clouded his mind still circled around him, like the said green fairy. He fought against the icy, oceanic storm gusts while he staggered through the dunes in cloudy moonlight. He just wanted to get home quickly..!

Then it happened! He stumbled over something that lay in the sand of the dunes. At first, he did not know what it was. But when he got back up and took it in his hands, he recognized it immediately. It was the gray, soft-silky fur of a seal. It smelled of the sea. But strangely also of delicate flowers. He took it and draped it over his shoulder. It was too beautiful to leave behind! And so he continued on. The icy wind calmed down, and the clouds before the full moon parted and opened up. The beach glowed in silvery-bright light. And then he saw HER..!

A solitary woman. She stood on a large dune. In her hands, she held a seagull, which she seemed to be petting. She stood with her back to him, looking at the moon in the icy cold, and her silhouette revealed that she was naked! She noticed him, turned around, and walked directly towards him. Slowly, almost stealthily and without fear. Until she finally stood before him. Her hair was wet and dripping, full of sea moss and resinous myrtle. And around her neck, the bladders of seaweed wrapped like an oceanic collar. The cold and icy air suddenly became a bit warmer around him. She smelled as her skin shimmered. Silvery and blue-violet, reminiscent of musky sweet wisteria and rough, bitter oak moss. She was intoxicatingly beautiful. Her eyes were as black and shiny, evoking longing like those of the seals or the darkest sea. She slightly lowered her head questioningly as she gently touched his face, caressing it while smiling silently. She gently took the fur from his hands and draped it around her bare shoulders. He felt as if crusts of salt crystals were growing where she touched his face. He could literally hear it crackle and could even smell it. He smelled the darkest, saltiest sea..!

She smiled tenderly at him, or so he believed. Then she went down to the beach. Wordlessly! He followed her as if in a trance. He was emotionally trapped like in a fisherman’s net. He wanted her to stay. But she kept going further and further into the icy waves until she completely disappeared beneath the rolling sea foam of the icy sea. And so he followed her as if in a daze. The seaweed and the kelp were already washing around his hips. Ultimately, around his neck. He lingered for a moment longer. He smelled the salty amber of the whales and even thought he could hear them. And he also smelled the shattered wood of the ships drifting around him. The last thing he heard was the howling song of the seals that seemed to be singing on the cliffs. Or perhaps it was a sad lament from crashing violins. Then he went under in the icy, roaring sea. Just like that and full of happiness. And was never seen again..!

Conclusion
For clarification! Selkies are Scottish mythical beings. They are seals that leave the icy sea at night. They shed their fur and wander around as humans. The sight of Selkie women in human form is intoxicating and beautiful! Personally, I am usually very skeptical of aquatic scents. It usually ends up feeling like bringing a Selkie into the house. With a downfall or drama. However, not here. At least not for me! Here is something included that I have not encountered in oceanic scents before. Namely wisteria. I love this sultry floral note very much! Artik Sea begins in the top note with a storm surge of all conceivable citrus notes. At the forefront are limes and yuzu. It has something of a cocktail or margarita with a salt rim. Slightly underlaid by sweet-herbaceous and green vermouth or better said absinthe, which softens the citrus spray a bit. The scent lingers in this state for quite a while before transitioning into the heart note. Floral notes touch the scent of musky sweet wisteria, powdery violets, and delicate floral roses. The scent constantly oscillates between warm and cold because of this. Cool, rough oak moss and resinous myrtle evoke with salty notes the impression of sea moss. Ultimately, the scent fades into warm-woody tones of earthy-warm patchouli, ambrette, amber, white musk, and salty-sweet seaweed. One is not at the sea here. One is deep in the sea. Very deep! Sometimes it is worth shedding your fur to explore and tread other terrains. Just like a Selkie itself.

Personally, I do not regret it at all..!

Special Aquate
The Artik Sea is, as the title suggests, a truly special aquatic fragrance.

We get citrus fruits, more citrus elements, along with an aquatic note, something peppery, a bit of green, and generally a good portion of spice.
Additionally, light floral notes are present.

I find it really difficult to describe.
If anyone knows the Salaria from Giardino Benessere..
Imagine you have this basic foundation and add some spices and a bit of green to it.
That’s roughly what the Artik Sea is.

I myself am still a bit torn about whether I like the fragrance or if it’s not really my world.

In the further development of the scent, the citrus components have clearly diminished, yet it remained somehow fresh, and I still perceived a certain spiciness, which became more subtle.

Longevity was good.
Sillage a bit weaker.

If you like aquatic fragrances and can imagine a certain spiciness in them, and generally want a somewhat different fresh scent, then the Artik Sea is certainly worth a try.

Pazzaglia should have a line named "Opening Gambits". Starts with a wowing frosty accord, but dries into a non-descript herbaceous mix. No.

Extremely forgettable. Powdery, creamy, mass-appealing marine accord reminiscent of designer perfumery. Better choices in this line exist.

Megamare diluted with laundry detergent. There is something oddly synthetic and off-putting about it. Strong on the florals for me.

Don't understand the comparisons to Megamare & Turksuz. Much different, lighter and less animalic. The other 2 are unwearable for me
