Megara is a recent addition to my middle eastern fragrance collection and I have been curious about this Maison Alhambra perfume, which is a clone of Orto Parisi Megamare, for some time. In this video I cover everything about Maison Alhambra Megara from the presentation, notes, scent profile, performance, and occasions where this middle eastern clone fragrance can be worn.

Got it in last week. I really enjoyed this one. Smells niche quality to my nose

[@scentisterdeathwish]

I really enjoy this one. I have the Maison Alhambra and Dua version of this. Great review brother.

[@PostCologne]

Thanks Scentister 👍

[@merjaymermanph]

This is a beast dude. Probably if you’re in a tropical country like where i am now, it’s surely one of the best

[@BOMBFRAGRANCES]

What’s up POST!! Sounds like something I would try just because it’s different. We need a video of like 10 fragrances that you really love interested in seeing that video.

[@PostCologne]

An ethusiast fragrance for sure. It's different for sure. Working on a few videos in that neighborhood. Hard to pick just 10 :) you know how it is Bomb.

[@jhors7777]

Thank you for posting this helpful video

[@shayne87]

Great review of something that I don't think I've even scrolled past before. $35 for 50 ml is on the high side for Alhambra but it actually sounds like a safer blind buy than if it came in a 75 or 100 ml for say $50-$60ish.

[@PostCologne]

I'd agree with that for sure. Thanks for watching shayne 👍

[@native7876]

every time I'm wondering about something you review it 😂 great review man..

[@PostCologne]

Thanks, Native 78. Try to keep on top of things:)

[@gregb6651]

Yes! Been looking for a solid review on this. Love those dark mineral freshies. Oud Minerale, Wet Stone....Thanks PC. Cheers!

[@PostCologne]

Happy to help Greg 👍

[@bellantwain21]

Nice review love the video Post stay motivated Dream big 1 mill on the way

[@PostCologne]

🙏

[@TheDerekCrosson]

I bought this yesterday, one of the best blind buys I’ve made. I didn’t even watch a review before buying that’s why I’m here 🙈 The salty/marine smell is sooooo good once it’s dried down

[@AliAmeer-ek2wg]

What about the projection

[@KarlSwaggerfeld]

First of all mad props to your reviews. I discovered your channel about a month ago and been binging your reviews since! I've been wearing this one for about 2 weeks now as I discovered it looking for a clone or inspiration of Heeleys Sel Marin. I know this is nowhere near that fragrance but it's in the same kind of vein of salt water green aquatic as that and maybe Tom Ford's Oud Minerale. I'm personally loving it but would love to hear if you had any recommendations on fragrances similar to the other two I just mentioned.

[@PostCologne]

Thanks William, appreciate that. Never smelled Sel Martin. I've heard Dua has a decent clone of oud minerale, but haven't tried it yet. Can't help you much as of now. Will keep my eyes out though 👍

[@arigabou]

Sounds great, because I really liked oud minerale.

[@husseinhamed2169]

Amazing review. I would love to recommend 2 amazing fragrance’s that are perfect for spring and summer. 1- mousuf ramadi by ard al zaafaran. For me this fragrance reminds me of Armani Code Giorgio Armani EDT 2- Mousuf by Ard Al Zaafaran. Longevity of both is between 6h and 8h

[@PostCologne]

Thanks Hussein! Hoping to explore the ard al line more. Will add these to the list, appreciate the recommendations 👍

[@husseinhamed2169]

@@PostCologne your welcome

[@WhoCares69]

Bought this just to give it a try. I’ve got Megamare already and it’s a beast !! Megara is quite good , basically a designer version of the Orto Parisi. Bit of an acquired taste and think a lot of people might struggle with the salty marine smell. Not for everyone

[@junboo8730]

Megamare is a masterpiece. Wondering how close this dupe is.

[@espartan3806]

I GOT DECANTS OF MEGAMARE & ACQUA DI SALE... NOT FOR ME.. HAWAS & ACQUA DI GIO PROFUMO ARE MORE PLEASANT🙄😂🤣

[@RoyAbhijit1104]

Please review Le Chemeau's Arabian Explorer.

[@sorv5790]

Freaking cool, man! Megamare is an absolute beast, as most of OP's fragrances are. My personal favorite is Terroni but Megamare is amazing. This sounds a little watered down but that's fine, Megamare is very harsh and briny, probably the strongest aquatic I know. If they make clones of Terroni, Viride and Bergamask I'm going to flip my lid. Just skip Stercus... please. Lol.

[@PostCologne]

A few people have suggested maison alhambra Terra as a good terroni clone. Can't get it here, but it exists

[@sorv5790]

@@PostCologne I just saw that. Oh man. Go Maison Alhambra, lol.

[@muhammadridhwanazmi1867]

Some people say Lattafa Maahir Black Edition is clone of Terroni

[@hEmZoRz]

I'm quite surprised about his assessment of the performance. Two of my friends wore Megara the other weekend (both are 2 to 3 sprays kind of guys) and I could definitely smell them from quite a distance for the entire night - and this was in an outdoor setting, mind you.

[@Dj_KingTee]

Paris Corner has a clone too from the Emir Valar line, called A Chaos In The Ocean

[@archibaldmukwevho9789]

How is it

[@Dj_KingTee]

@@archibaldmukwevho9789 I'm yet to buy it, but as soon I do I'll get back to you

[@shawnpenner2699]

I just got Chaos in the Ocean, it's pretty nice but I have never smelled Megamare so I can't compare

[@robertbyers1923]

Is this the same as Lattafa Atlas

[@jacobnoergaard]

Looks very much like Orto Parisi's Megamare.

[@BobFood1337]

Slowly but surely the Maison Alhambra fragrances are also available here. Are any of the Philos line on your list? Like Philos Pura, Philos opus noir or Philos Centro.

[@PostCologne]

Not familiar with the philos line. I'll have a look 👍

[@TatianaA673]

How about using it by woman?

Thank you for this review

[@PostCologne]

Thanks for watching Pedro 👍

[@hoangpham4273]

How much is it similar?

Curious about Megara !! I have Ard al Zafaaran's clone of Orto Parisi- Terroni....it's called Saheb....and it is fantastic !

Hello Sir how is the longevity projection and sillage ?

[@Metallicainjection]

You should do a full review of lattafa khashabi. Amazing fresh woody fragrance. !

[@PostCologne]

I've included it in a few lists. May do the full review here. Agree, great fragrance 👍

[@captainsonypony2709]

A Banger need a back up bottle asap

[@pulp5618]

It was on my list and now it isn't anymore 😁 The og Megamare is a monster, it is nothing like other aquatic fragrances out there... the price is high for 50ml (i think +200$) but you will never go through that any time soon. I think Alhambra also duped another Orto Parisi... you tried that?

[@PostCologne]

I don't think I have. Which Maison Alhambra is the other orto Parisi clone?

[@pulp5618]

@@PostCologne Terra which is the clone Terroni. I tried Terroni and it is similar to Black Afgano but maybe more wearable.

Saheb is a clone of Terroni I guess.

[@user-hm6wy3br2b]

is it redundant if i have wajood?

[@petergriffin6260]

They are not that similar imo. I have both. Megara is more bright tart salty marine.

[@poslovnesvrhe6875]

Davidoff Cool water Is my favorite smell for summer From aquatics but performance is not so good. For this summer i choose DG light blue italian love Montale fougeres Marine and Armaf CDNI pure Parfum

[@PostCologne]

Cool water is a classic. Had my eye on that montale for a while now, how's the performance? Appreciate the comment Poslovne 👍

[@poslovnesvrhe6875]

​​​@@PostCologne very nice very pleasant smell.the truth old school but modern take.Sillage and Projection is 10/10 for pure summer scent 1st 2-3 hours very loud and 9 hours + lasting I'm still waiting warm summer days to test it correctly. What do you think about turathi blue for summer days,would it be too cloying ? I also have that but i dont know how will work on 40+ (European) degrees for spring is very nice

[@phugia963]

Try to find Al Haramain Carbon edition for 55$ - 60ml. Just the same scent profile with Cool Water and Creed GIT but the performance is 8 -12hrs or more. Recently had it and super satisfied with it

[@poslovnesvrhe6875]

@@phugia963 nah GIT Is more powdery i prefer more acquatic cool water bube i have found Al haramain etolies a a cool water clone with very Nice performanse for 25euros

I have Cool Water Parfum and it performs really well, I can usually still smell it in the evening after applying it in the late morning

I personally prefer Wajood overall

[@happygilmore-]

wajood isn't megamare clone! wajood is clone of kezho homme intense

@Happy Gilmore not saying it's a clone of Megamare. Saying I prefer wajood over megara in general

​@@PostCologne So Wajood is also a dupe for Megamare?

[@PostCologne]

@@nathanfarkash2689 no.

[@xanderpromeo]

MEGARA! Sounds like a monster Godzilla would fight. 😃

[@zackjames2381]

Was just searching this! Great timing. Seems like it smells like a dead washed-up aqua man 😂 Guessing this is not a sexy scent

[@PostCologne]

Not a dead aqua man scent, but not a date night fragrance either imho

[@Downlinx]

you lost me at powdery, i can't stand powsery scents in mens fragrances anymore. i find it nausiating.

[@user-ex4pe7ly8i]

Another reviewer ranks this as really BEAST MODE. Supposedly lasts on clothes and in the air as long as two days after spraying

[@hEmZoRz]

My Megara is significantly stronger than the post 2021 batches of Megamare. It's incredibly potent.

[@CiprianFx59]

pls homies don.t wear cologne in the gym, bros...

[@PostCologne]

Agreed

[@hanysiyed4765]

What is the percentage of similarity between the two perfumes?

[@tomdesoloc8287]

Is the megamare perform much better than this megara mate? I heard its a nuclear in performance i like megara scent profile but i feel it out perform by light blue intense. Im just thinking buying the megamare if there is a big gap in performance between megara to justify the price.
