What am I actually looking for .... ?!
Must be the first question you ask yourself when you want to buy fragrances again.
Hence my answer to this topic - memories and feelings. I had already dealt with the whole "trauma" sufficiently in my review of
Marzocco Eau de Parfum ;)
Now to the fragrance itself - what does it smell like?
Quite "one-dimensional" is a fair answer.
Nevertheless, it is a complex beauty and almost unbeatable in its intention. Rarely have I smelled a more realistic jasmine fragrance. Other reviews before me say that the fragrance is not "perfumey" enough for them and I completely agree. If you want a highly complex, fancy fragrance, you've come to the wrong place.
But if you are looking for a delicate orange blossom that, together with a slightly sweet, sour and earthy pomegranate, opens the door to an Arabian jasmine garden, you are in the right place. The scent of jasmine is difficult to describe, but it is easy to imagine - Tunisia in late spring after a light shower in the morning and the jasmine spreads its scent on every roadside - paradise or whatever everyone wants to call it :)
Now a serious description:
Neroli opens the experience together with a very delicately citrusy bergamot. Heliotrope and jasmine quickly take over. To prevent this from getting out of hand, a fresh pomegranate regulates the course of the sea of flowers with a few splashes of light corrections. It is more a slight acidity and above all the "earthiness" of a pomegranate that supports this. After a good 30 minutes, you walk along a hedge of yasmine for several hours - white flowers with a slight soapiness but definitely absolutely clean and not animalic - not at all.
Perhaps Granada can be seen as the more cultivated brother of
Orange Flamingo. Less fresh wash due to the lack of lily of the valley and a pleasant longevity and, above all, sillage ;)
Should definitely be tried if you value floral and above all realistic fragrances.
Bye bye.

The compatible Megamare
If the Megamare of Orto Parisi were the rowdy sea bear, the Aqua di Sale would have to be the sympathetically cultured part-time captain.
Similar composition only much more tolerable - a sea without storm and yet with some swell. You stand on the harbor wall and the waves slosh against the stones at your feet - light minerality and freshness.
Who wants to / can do without the blood between the teeth is at the Aqua di Sale in the best place - perfect fragrance even for warm days.

Storm surge
Megamare is a good example of a fragrance that does not want to please everyone but takes the term niche perfume seriously. If you spray it on (God save you and your environment from more than 2 sprayers) you are standing on the Lofoten - the wind whips around your ears - waves break on the cliff and algae are whipped up with the spray. A kilometer offshore you see an old shipwreck from a bygone era - steel covered in rust - you wrap the oilskin more tightly around you and head back to your lighthouse.
This fragrance does not seek to please the masses but conveys a connection with the sea that a classic beach vacationer cannot imagine.
If you are in Venice you will be able to smell the scent from many employees of the vaporetti or water cabs - after all, the lagoon city marries itself every year anew with the sea.
Accordingly - not everyone can wear but you definitely become the subject.
