The dry down for megamare is fabulous. Extremely long lasting and projects like crazy. The opening is a bit perplexing but the dry down is where it is all at.

[@gizmou11]

I have been waiting for this for a very long time. Thanks Aaron.

[@adzadzy]

this is the biggest projector in the whole world of fragrances, honestly, lasts days on skin , love the orto parisi fragrances, although Megamare is my least fav of the Parisi's, my fav is Terroni and Stercus , i think mr alessandro gualtieri is a genius

[@ryanx3584]

Ah yes, the sweet pooey Hindi oud of Stercus. Very divisive

[@XxXHardcoreshredderxXXxxxxxxxx]

​@@ryanx3584it's not even pooey gagaha

[@ryanx3584]

@@XxXHardcoreshredderxXXxxxxxxxx see, loads of people say this but I still get just a little fecal'y smell when smelling the cap. You not get it?

[@adzadzy]

No fecal smell for me on stercus, its a beauty 😀

[@neilroyal6814]

I definitely get a slight poo/manure on stercus but it goes away quickly. Most of the ortos are way to similar to black afgano in the drydown

[@not-aristotle7252]

Love ur videos, it’s great that a perfumer is reviewing other perfumes. This is something else ! ❤

[@AlexisFiala]

I could listen to you review fragrances all day long, thank you. Hope you're gonna do the more darker stuff from Orto Parisi as well, I think that's were Gualtieri shines the most.

[@1990medicina]

Very realistic presentation of Megamare. Hopefully you would consider to continue with Orto Parisi reviews - especially Stercus, Seminalis and Boccanera. 😃🍀

[@JamesStOnge-qi7mf]

Firstly, thank you for the amazing review. I think this is the only review on this fragrance where I agree with everything said. This is a very special fragrance to me, as I purchased it in Positano on my honeymoon. Much love from NY, keep killing it!

[@mierezsaturday1452]

The editing and effects of this video presentation is just sublime.

[@1Daxae3]

YESSS I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR ANOTHER ORTO PARISI REVIEW

[@cantgetbettathanthis]

Been waiting for this

[@emiliosman820]

Fantastic review as always

[@patricklynch9145]

Aaron id love to see you review a diptyque fragrance soon! They’re a really artisanal, crafty almost “photorealistic” type of perfume house. I think they’re stuff is great! They make really fantastic rose scents I think you’d love it.

[@Megamare1]

That beautiful opening turns into a dark almost rotten seaweed like salty smell hours later, to my nose. Great to layer with Kouros on a Friday at work when you want to be left alone & completely avoided 😂

[@suzys937]

😂

[@2WheelsForever]

😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@justinkhirtmenancio2005]

Nice review Aaron. Can you do another top 10 fragrance or your favorite fragrances as of now!

[@perstare5065]

I was awestruck the first time I smelled this and bought it immediately. Yes, it’s powerful and one spray is more than sufficient. A great under reviewed and underrated fragrance.

[@samtan4729]

The sillage is impressive. When I was in Venice, I went after a stranger to find out what he wore and that was my first encounter with this synthetic bomb.

[@nathanaelwheatley4322]

just came across this channel. It inspires me like Tom Ford inspired you. Keep it up dude, I love it. Watched like 50 videos already ahaha

[@megasoid]

Love this brand, I have three of them. Thanks for the review.

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

I could listen to him all day. Love the way he says, "eloquent" rather than "elegant".

[@huzidamasta]

You know eloquent is a word, right? He's using eloquent in it's correct context as well, so I'm assuming he's saying eloquent because.....well.....he means eloquent, not elegant.

[@cocopopsbrahhh]

@@huzidamastano, he isn’t. You can’t have an eloquent smell, eloquent refers to persuasive and high quality speech. It doesn’t even matter, the guy was just saying he likes this quirk.

[@huzidamasta]

@cocopopsbrahhh that's one of the two meanings. Google it 👍 Also, it's not a "quirk" if it isn't the case. Why did you even comment if it "doesn't even matter?" Haha 😅

[@simply_psi]

​@cocopopsbrahhh Eloquent is not only related to speech but can also be defined as 'clearly expressing or indicating something' such as the phase 'the train journey alone is eloquent of class inequality' so no actual speech but the journey itself is able to be eloquent in how it treats first class compared to other travellers.

[@cocopopsbrahhh]

@@simply_psi this is a dumb conversation to have, but you’re wrong. there’s an error in your interpretation - in the example you gave, the word eloquent is used in conjunction to a concept “eloquent OF class inequality”, it’s referential, you can’t just say it’s eloquent, you have to say it’s eloquent of something, which is not what aaron is doing when he says eloquent, he’s just mistaking it for elegant and it’s pretty obvious.

[@cheekster777]

Thank you Aaron.

[@oldenmarlow339]

I’m so envious of your voice and accent.

[@shwul6225]

Hey aaron! You should do a review on absolute aphrodisiac by initio, or tony iommi monkey by xerjoff!

[@andrewwhalen25]

I hope Maxaroma gets some Supernova back in stock so I can get it in Canada. I missed out on the first release. I love your reviews!

[@hassankhairy121]

You should try Amouage Opus 5 , since it’s a rose-oudy base fragrance with an orris touch and civet as the base. I believe it’s called Amouage Opus V Woods Symphony at the moment. Really curious about your opinion on this since it’s an unusual smell and it can be very “ odd “ for some noses. Love your videos!

[@Kedzunya]

Love this one, one of my favourite scents, it don't smell very artificial on me, i would describe it as wood soaked in salty water. Very long lasting on me, surviving showers as well. Try this on your skin before buying

[@theemclane4037]

I just discovered this 2 hours ago and added it to my Wishlist 🤯🤯🤯

[@AirPowered]

Nice review! A nice affordable alternative to this is Super Majeure by Issey Miyake.

[@bartoltolic]

I hope you review every Orto Parisi fragrance. They are all beast mode (maybe exepct “Seminalis”) and unique fragrances.

[@TheDonkeko]

this man has something that makes me stay connected and keep watching his videos, I don't know if it's the high quality of his content or his voice but there's something.

[@t.o.p.6483]

I had no idea you make your own fragrances. Look forward to testing them out!

[@mikel9866]

Sarcasm?

[@t.o.p.6483]

@@mikel9866 not at all, I thought he just did reviews.

[@chiefengineer8275]

Would like you to find Davidoff Agar Blend. It was not expensive but is no longer easily available. I'd be interested in how you assess that.

[@dionseifi386]

Hey aaron, thanks for the review. The thing about Megamare is, it changes soooo much on the skin, it has been like 3-4 different fragrances after 12 hours.

[@pasf4118]

he tried it on skin, what he says is kinda true, i ownedi t too

[@abuzubayr1584]

Aaron great review , do you think you could use this with your Carbon ?

[@cristianconstantin46]

Aaron, do also Boccanera, Terroni, Seminalis and Cuoium 😊

[@hudaif9687]

Hi aaron..Can U please do A Video On Scentologia Syn.ergy.Would like to know your opinion.

[@MustenMust]

This lasts over 30h on my skin, no joke. I have to change all my sheets in bed the day after I wear it because the bed completely reeks of it. It is absolutely true that you have to go out and wear it in the sun, then it starts to project like a monster. I love the fragrance, the first one I got from the house. Keep up the great work Aaron!

[@curlyhairdudeify]

The projections, and going out thing. I didn't believe in that. Up until I bought Modest Une; Middle Eastern fragrance. I love the scent. The problem is it is starting to get cold; I couldn't smell it. Yet, when I was outside. As soon as the sun's rays touched it I could smell it it was like light touching a prism creating a kaleidoscope of colors.

[@zaca9648]

What batch code is your bottle?

[@ReeontheHee]

Just got 6 of your fragrance 10ml.. love them all. Brilliant thank you

[@abuzubayr1584]

Cuoium is one of my favourites by this perfumer , definitely not everyone’s cup of tea but an amazing leather fragrance , gets me smelling like clint in the good the bad and the ugly , all I need is the whistle and a poncho 😂

[@abuzubayr1584]

@@ManicMindTrick definitely is

[@daniellabuda7744]

This is definitely a very artistic perfume..My mum adores it. I think, this is, from the olfactive side, a really beautiful smell. Just a very creative approach to niche perfumery. I think, Gualtieri is a crazy chemist and inspiring artist.

[@akaal2621]

true brother, it's pure art!!! i would never get anyone not liking this. no way.

[@ile_klikow]

Exactly. People say Zoologist TRex is unwearable while I consider it even gourmand for the first 30mins with an amber leather resin base afterwards. Reading reviews is always a hit or miss

[@abrahammarquez4797]

I can't wait to try that fragrance I haven't had the luck to find it

[@seansimmons73]

The strongest citrus is Bergamask by Otto Parisi. Megamare is their strongest aquatic

[@akaal2621]

exactly! it's not citrus it's aquatic ✅✅✅

[@F4834N]

Would love to see what you think about Profumum Roma’s Acqua Viva. It’s basically just citrus and it’s got really good performance.

[@Principemostprincipe]

Fantastic fragrance like all of the alessandro’s work. Just waiting to finish my Kenzo Edp bottle than i am buying Megamare because they are serving the same purpose.

[@Bluehulk71]

You have the most soothing reviews ever, also, as a good geek, I love the technical aspect of it too

[@datacipher]

lol!! Fragrance hobby doesn’t make you a “geek”. 😂😂. It’s not rocket science, computer science, or even elementary school math. It’s not engineering. Being into it makes you into a somewhat effeminate gay hobby! That’s what it is - own it. 💁🏻‍♂️

[@TeyanThuny]

It’s the best fragrance I have ever bought. It last forever on my skin. Worth evry penny !! To me it smells like wealth and power

[@andriinechaiev994]

Hi Aaron! Can you make some update video about what happened on your website? About discounting fragrance etc? Are discounting fragrance get updated like previously? And… is there any chance EU customers will have opportunity to get there’s orders without crazy taxes?

[@jaisonlopez5511]

Can you please review The Blazing Mr. Sam by Penhaligon?

[@ahmedaroosh2301]

I have it for few months and it is almost exactly same as Aaron describes it. Not overwhelming in projection but last very very long. In the air it is good but if you sniff closely ambergris type smell will burn your nose 😁. Overall i love it for what it is.

[@akaal2621]

it projects like no other fragrance does! one time i walked into a shop while i visiting spain, she told me i could smell you from there what are you wearing i want to buy it, so i wrote down the name of it in a paper she gave me, dude this fragrance is a whole new level of niche frag.

[@sathingtonwilloughby3741]

When I first sprayed it on I was mortified, but I kept it on and ended up really enjoying it. Smells like the ocean. I personally wouldn't by a full bottle, but I wouldn't be offended if I smelled it out in the world.

[@MrJocky82]

I agree, I had the sample of this on the recommendation from a friend. I found it to be to strong, and I also found it to be annoying after a few days in which it lingered.

[@masaiwhite5933]

Black caviar from electimuss is a salty/fresh aquatic type vibe....there is no fishy caviar smell so no need worry....it is also a beast...12hr up.

[@teeheehaha746]

BABE WAKE UPPPP AARON UPLOADEDDDDD

[@akaal2621]

i've smelled and bought tons of niche perfumes, but i couldn't find a perfume that makes me excited and kinda flying in the air like megamare does! the BEST PERFUME EVER PERIOD❤️‍🔥😍😍😍😍 i got tons of compliments wearing it especially when traveling people came asking me to write down the name of it, it's literally an art that you would never find anywhere else with all due respect. i love you megamare you're one of kind 🥹

[@aldoraccagni]

Bellissima, competente e soprattutto onestissima recensione. Alessandro Gualtieri è un artista geniale.

[@yasinpeke7373]

Hello, first of all, I received a bottle of perfume through an acquaintance and I just used it, I can't wait and I don't want to use it in another perfume. Can you please help me on how to get it, please, it is not available in a dealer in Turkey.

[@guruduttmandagere9252]

Can you review Seminalis from this brand?

[@adbethsing383]

I got a sample of this on my arm walking around the frag district in NYC, during a very hot and very humid July 3rd of this year. I've never had folks turn around before as I passed them, but this day they surely did and it had to be because I was wearing two sprays of this. For me it had this stand-out-there quality I kept catching very string wiffs off me for the rest of the day.

[@akaal2621]

the more you wear it, the more you will fall in love, trust me it's addictive

[@Bluehulk71]

Have you tried Bergamask? That one is supposed to be the longest lasting citrus, but is absolutely gorgeous

[@akaal2621]

he did. it's on his channel he gave it 9/10, i mean it's really good fragrance but how on earth he gave it more than megamare, i don't get it🤣

[@Bluehulk71]

@@akaal2621 I tried both and I end up buying two bottles of Bergamask, it has the most addicting musk I’ve ever smelled

Megamare is one of my top 5 favorite fragrances. And I dont hold back on the sprays.

[@akaal2621]

[@CurtisGabrielMusic]

@5:44 This is so true! Nail on the head 🎯

[@FrancisFjordCupola]

"I tested it on everyone in factory..." makes me imagine quite a lot of things. I wonder how many workers have been co-opted, that is nominated as volunteer mistwalkers. The longevity and required heat to make it come of, that's because of the powder? As it's more solid grains.

[@MarcMercier1971]

7:46 Guilty of buying decants. Daddy, Legend & Boss Bastard. Don't tell Aaron. I'll be getting the officials later.

It will be funny to reaction to secretions magnifques ,Can't wait fot xtrait to come out

[@louisefisher9959]

Aaron has reviewed Secretions Magnifique a long time ago.

[@ExistentialSadness]

One of the greatest fragrance I've ever smelled. This fragrance lasts for days even after shower..it is insane. Orto Parisi is just on top of the fragrance game, honestly.

[@akaal2621]

it is the best fragrance ever!!

[@HansHase78]

Megamare (roughly translating to "Great Sea" in Italian) has massive projection partly because of its insane overdose of ambrocenide (around 25% of the concentrate AFAIK), which in my experience causes instant olfactory fatigue at close distance although it is still perceptible. Norlimbanol (present at around 5% in Megamare) creates a similar "oversaturation effect" for me. With Megamare and Bergamask, people farther away will often notice you more than you can smell yourself. I know because I wore a single spray of Megamare to the office one day... 😊

[@doaflamingo3713]

Finaly after 2 years

[@sheshewantit45]

[@tdfelipe123]

Hi Aaron I have a question for you and this may seem silly, but does having tattoos stop fragrances from protecting as much as they should? Just curious

[@tdfelipe123]

*projecting*

[@xxraverxxonxtacy]

One of my favorite God mode citrus niche frags. Some have said Orto Parisi perfumer Alessandro puts Oud in all his frags which contributes to longevity.

[@akaal2621]

same. it's my top 1

[@SirSillageSniffington]

From what I’ve seen of chemical breakdowns/analysis of his compositions, he seems like like Ambrocenide a lot (there was no Oud in Bergamask), which is probably where the ‘Oud’ vibe and the longevity come from.

[@HansHase78]

Yes, the monstrous performance is caused by massive amounts of high-impact superambers, or aromachemicals like javanol, sometimes overdosed at around 1,000 to 10,000- fold of the maximum concentration considered "safe" by more traditional perfumers. These fragrances are not cheap to make, but so much fun...

[@onionjohnny6572]

Also Aaron if you get the chance I would highly recommend reviewing Issey Miyake Noir Ambre. I know you love the Oajan DNA and it is so similar. It’s really beautiful and long lasting. It’s discontinued now but you can still pick it up online.

[@pegah_pegah]

It’s nuclear ☢️ but it’s has weird facets that can be off putting. Sometime it smells great sometimes it smells like latex. Interesting frag. You think it’s not that crazy but your killing the block of people behind you and in front of you at the same time. I was in a store and someone sprayed 1 spray and it filled the entire store and the other side of the store. Crazy stuff.

When you opened the door the smell was so strong and sooo good, it just hit me, what is that? She brought a paper and asked me to write down the name "even tho i may not be able to buy it" she said.
