The warm sand feels good beneath your feet, the marine breeze softly ruffles your hair. In a tangle of seaweed at the edge of the surf, you see something moving. You go in for a closer look…
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
The register is an exposed shoreline rather than a sheltered bathing spot: warm sand underfoot, seaweed at the surf’s edge, open water ahead. Megamare suits an unhurried afternoon spent mostly outdoors, where its forceful marine presence has room to spread rather than dominate close conversation.
How to wear
Start with one spray on skin and assess before adding more; Megamare has a reputation for substantial diffusion and persistence. Mild to warm weather suits its marine character, but use a lighter hand in heat or enclosed spaces. Favor skin over clothing if you want less lingering scent between wears.
Who it’s for
For lovers of assertive aquatic fragrances who want more than citrus freshness. Its seaweed character, woody structure and warm-sand impression appeal to tastes drawn toward textured, elemental scents, with intensity taking precedence over discretion.

The nose
Alessandro Gualtieri is the perfumer behind Orto Parisi and Nasomatto, known for uncompromising compositions that favor texture, intensity and visceral impressions over conventional note-led storytelling. His works include Black Afgano and Baraonda for Nasomatto. In Megamare, he turns the sea into an abstract, enveloping presence rather than a light aquatic sketch, keeping the formula undisclosed.
Orto Parisi’s story
Orto Parisi treats the body as a garden and its odors as expressions of the soul. Dedicated to Alessandro Gualtieri’s grandfather, Vincenzo Parisi, the house challenges the impulse to sanitize human animality, creating perfumes that foreground instinct, physicality and the beauty of powerful smells.
Megamare’s concept
Megamare was conceived around the sea’s immensity, mystery and untamable depth. Rather than recreating a particular coastline, Gualtieri sought an abstract oceanic experience: something expansive and resistant to explanation. Its saltwater-weathered bottle details extend that idea beyond the fragrance itself.
Extra info
The cap features tumbled silver-toned metal with greenish saltwater corrosion and an inlaid seashell from Haiti. Despite the detailed note pyramids circulating online, Orto Parisi does not disclose Megamare’s formula. The brand also confirms that its logo-embossed pump is an anti-counterfeiting update, with both older and newer versions authentic during the transition.
Celebrity connection
Polish actress Anna Próchniak named Megamare among the perfumes she wears in an interview with MARCELL__PUSTUL, noting that she sometimes combines it with Le Labo Santal 33.
