Megamare

The official sentence is about untameable depth. Gualtieri just calls it the sea. Other people call it the loudest marine in perfume.

From the table in Cotai

Megamare arrived in 2019. The cap is tumbling silver eaten by salt, set with a Haitian shell. The text on the Orto Parisi site speaks of depth, the unknown, a call to everything and nothing. There is still no pyramid. Wearers talk about salt, tide, something animal under the water. We do not confirm their list.

It is the Orto juice that travels. People who do not want Terroni’s earth, or Stercus, will still sit with Megamare. In a humid city it behaves differently than it does in a dry shop. Macau air already has salt in it. That is useful. You find out in an afternoon whether the sea is too much.

If Megamare is too much, Bergamask is the citrus in the same family, and Viride is the green. We keep all three on the table. None of them is a holiday scent.

A Haitian shell in a silver cap that looks eaten is not decoration. It is the only picture Gualtieri allowed. The rest is a paragraph about depth and a call to everything and nothing. You can roll your eyes. Then you put it on.

Macau air already has salt in it. That is useful.

Loudest marine is other people’s headline. On skin it is less a postcard than a room with the windows open on water you cannot see. There is animal in it, or there is not, depending on your nose. We do not vote.

Humidity is a collaborator. In Cotai Megamare does not need help to fill a lift. That is why an afternoon on the Promenade is a better test than a winter trip to Europe. If it is too much here, it is too much.

Bergamask is the door for people who want Orto without the tide. Viride is chlorophyll and crushed green. The three together are a climate, not a collection. We spray Megamare last, because nothing useful happens after it for a while.

Holiday scent is the wrong category. There is no coconut, no sun oil, no hotel pool. If you wear it to the beach it will still be Megamare, which is slightly funny and slightly correct.
