Megaron

First Impressions & Dry Down

Megaron opens with a blast of lemon cleaner, far harsher than any bergamot I've encountered. This isn't the sophisticated citrus of a cologne; it's straight into industrial-strength lemon, softened somewhat by a vague salty air accord. The core attempts to mimic that briny, almost decaying seaweed note but lands closer to a public swimming pool after a long summer – chlorine and something vaguely organic struggling for dominance. The drydown is where it truly diverges, transforming into a chemical musk with an unpleasant, slightly sour edge. Instead of depth, it delivers a plasticky residue that clings uncomfortably. The overall impression is a simplified, less nuanced interpretation that highlights the harsher edges of the original while missing its complexity.

Wear time & Sillage

Longevity is deceptively strong. It lasts about 8 hours on skin, but the final two hours are a faint, somewhat irritating musk. Projection is initially nuclear, easily filling a room for the first hour, then settling to about an arm's length for the next four. I wore it during a humid summer day, and the scent became cloying and overwhelming.

To Buy or Not to Buy?

Megaron is best suited for someone who desires a very potent, marine-adjacent scent and only wears it outdoors. It's too aggressive for enclosed spaces and too simplistic for formal occasions. Think: a fishing trip or an outdoor sporting event where you want to project a strong, somewhat challenging aura. Not recommended for dates or professional settings.
