Orto Parisi Megamare is the 2016 unisex Eau de Parfum from Italian niche house Orto Parisi (sister brand of Nasomatto), and one of the most recognised "ocean fragrances" in the world. Composed by Alessandro Gualtieri, it's built on kelp, aqua, musk, Ambroxan and mineral ozone notes — a salty, mineral "open-ocean wave" scent. Salty air and seaweed on the opening, mineral aqua in the heart, and musk-Ambroxan in the base that fuses with skin. It belongs to the mineral-aquatic family, with moderate-to-high sillage and 8–10 hours of longevity. Ideal for summer but works year-round.
PERFUME LONGEVITY
AT WHAT DISTANCE IT IS SENSED
Orto Parisi Megamare — the niche "ocean wave" icon
Orto Parisi Megamare is the 2016 unisex Eau de Parfum from experimental Italian niche house Orto Parisi. Widely searched as "Megamare", "Megamare perfume", "Orto Parisi Megamare", in Russian "Орто Паризи Мегамаре", "Мегамаре" or "Megamare духи". Sometimes mis-typed as "Megamore" or "Mega More".
Orto Parisi and perfumer Alessandro Gualtieri
Orto Parisi is the house founded by experimental Italian perfumer Alessandro Gualtieri, who also created Nasomatto. The two houses operate as sister brands, both presented in minimalist 30 ml black bottles. Gualtieri works around the concept of "the organic scents of the body and nature" — Megamare is the purest example of that philosophy.
The character of Megamare
Megamare sits in the classic mineral aquatic family, but unlike most synthetic-fresh members of this category, it feels entirely natural and "wild". Kelp and salty ocean air on the opening evoke "standing on tropical bay rocks". Mineral aqua in the heart adds "cold stone and water" depth; musk and Ambroxan in the base warm the dry-down and create the "skin-fusion" effect. Sillage is moderate-to-high, longevity 8–10 hours — excellent performance for a niche of this size.
When and where to wear it
Megamare is ideal for summer — beach days, seaside evenings, summer date nights, the office (with a lighter spray). But it's not just "a summer fragrance" — it still feels interesting and "modern niche" in autumn and winter. Age-wise it suits 22+; the composition feels somewhat experimental, so for buyers used to classic vanilla-amber masculine/feminine fragrances, it's a bold choice.
Why Megamare is so widely searched
Over the last 5 years Megamare has earned a reputation as "the most distinctive ocean fragrance" in the TikTok and YouTube niche community. Three reasons:
- Natural "wild" character: unlike synthetic aquatics, it feels entirely natural and organic.
- Unique niche aesthetic: minimalist black bottle, simple design — collector-friendly.
- Universal appeal: wears equally naturally on men and women.
Other popular Orto Parisi and Nasomatto fragrances
Megamare fans often also explore these Gualtieri creations: Orto Parisi Bergamask (more citrus, fresher), Orto Parisi Terroni (more spicy-earthy), Nasomatto Black Afgano (sister house, denser and "green-smoky").
