What does Megara smell like?

It opens with bright bergamot and lemon. The heart brings a watery coolness from algae, hedione and calone, with a green, slightly synthetic edge. The base settles into a woody floor of musk, ambroxan and cedar, with spicy and oriental touches staying in the background.

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick leisure and daily wear, while some also choose a night out or the office. Ayat Qamar and Fragrance World Aqua Pura have a close profile.
