Fredric Malle and Sel Marin vs Megamare

Jun 1, 2016
Hi all.

At the moment I got in my summer rotation

1. Louis Vuitton - Afternoon Swim
2. ADP - Essenza

Havent tried Frederic Malle in a couple of years.

How are these from the brand nowadays and are they worth buying looking at my current rotation? Any thougts?

1. Cologne indelebile
2. Bigarade Concentree
3. Cologne Bigagade

Furthermore I wonder what do you think of Heeley - Sel Marin vs Orto parisi - Megamare.

Tried Sel Marin a couple of years ago. Havent tried Megamare

Is Sel Marin still the more authentic Ocean smell of the two and tould you say nowadays they are office safe?

Megamare is a brutal synthetic bomb it is absolutley heavy and nuclear.. i really dont like it at all if you are as me and like well rounded and crafted perfumes ..
Sel Marin is quite awesome - i would suggest Profumum Roma`s Acqua di Sale as a perfect comparison..

as for the Malle`s all three you mentioned are quite good but the Bigarade`s are similar to Terre d`Hermes and not so worthy IMHO

i would try Geranium pour Monsieur for a proper Summer scent !

cheers

Cologne Indelible is quite nice. A fairly strong cologne type scent. Not much experience with the Bigarades.

I concur with Nayrobi that Geranium Pour Monsieur is a nice summer scent. Great minty opening.

The Malles listed are all very nice and worth buying. Sel Marin is also worth buying IMO.

L’Eau D’Hiver is a good choice for a fresh Malle, not cologne-like. And Lys Mediterranee. These are very interesting and artistic Malles that are good for summer, IMHO. And I agree with Geranium Pour Monsieur also.
