“Got a 50ml bottle today. Good aquatic but very bad performance. It doesn't smell synthetic,i get a bit of citrus,seaweed and ambroxan. Good fragrance for the summer,but very weak projection and i get longevity no more than 3 hours. The batch code showed my bottle is from 2022 maybe the fragrance lost some of its performance. Good scent but you have to spray heavier to get good performance.”
“My first Orto Parisi fragrance. After watching all the reviews calling it synthetic, unwearable, weird, nuclear, I wanted to try it anyway. Got a bottle last year, now I'm down to a few wears left.The opening is beautifully bright, with a bergamot-seaweed-marine-musky smell. As it transforms into the drydown, it changes radically into a dark, deep, salty ocean.I don't find it synthetic at all, it's my favorite marine scent.Enormous sillage and room-filling projection. On skin it lasts up to 24 hours, on clothes for days, even weeks.10/10, would buy it again and again.”
“Not a WOW scent, but definitely quite pleasant.But the performance? Absolutely INSANE.NUCLEAR projection. ENORMOUS sillage. ETERNAL longevity.This is not a fragrance, it’s a biological weapon. 😂Scent: 7/10Performance: 11/10Two sprays are MORE than enough. Megamare doesn’t project… it ATTACKS.”

Hayaam's base is marginally warmer and sweeter due to enhanced amber, while Chaos maintains a cleaner, more austere woody-musk finish. Longevity is comparable, though Hayaam may project slightly softer in the final hours.

Stellar Oud focuses on oud and incense rather than Megamare's signature sea salt and mineral freshness, making it substantially warmer and less aquatic. The clone also lacks the driftwood-seaweed accord that gives the original its distinctive coastal character.
