A bracing marine epic that feels like stepping off a pier at dawn, Megamare surges from bright citrus into a mineral sea spray that turns deeper and more animalic as it settles, capturing algae sheen, driftwood warmth, and a salty musk glow that clings to skin and fabric for hours. It is oceanic beauty and danger in one tide, polished yet primal, perfect for those who want their aquatic scent to roar rather than whisper.

Story and Positioning
Megamare is Alessandro Gualtieri’s fearless answer to the modern aquatic, an extrait strength composition that paints the sea in high definition, from sparkling surface to briny depths. If you enjoy the salty, sunlit style explored by Profumum Roma Acqua di Sale or the breezy realism of Heeley Sel Marin, Megamare pushes that idea into a darker, more musky, and long-lasting direction, delivering an attention-grabbing statement for warm days, night drives, and any time you want marine energy with niche swagger. The brand frames Megamare as an indomitable depth and a call toward everywhere, an ocean made perfume.
Bottle and Design
The house’s 50 ml flacon is thick-walled and weighty, with a clear column that shows the pale juice and a textured label that looks tailored rather than printed. A polished metal cap crowns the bottle with a sea-worn attitude, its top insert recalling oxidized water-kissed metal. Recent production can include a new logo embossed pump introduced to combat counterfeiting, so both older smooth pumps and the updated pumps are authentic. The result feels artisanal, minimal, and unmistakably Orto Parisi on the shelf.
