Atlas and Megara are clones of Megamare by Orto Parisi and i think Atlas/Megara/Megamare have nothing in common with CDN Sillage.

Not sure it qualifies as a “budget fragrance,” but Megara (Megamare clone) from Maison Alhambra goes for $45-50.

If you want something that smells more like seaweed and saltier after smelling that, try checking out Megara or Aqua Pura which are clones of Orto Parisi Megamare, which might be easier to find than than the Jenny Glow.

Megara is supposed to be pretty close to Megamare, but lacking a bit of the complexity.

Finding it a bit difficult to find decants of the real deal but have heard that Megara is practically a 1 to 1, and since it’s so divisive I figure I can’t blind buy the real deal without some sort of test

So now i will be getting Maison Alhambra Megara which is apparently the best clone of megamare in the market along with Lattafa Atlas and also much cheaper than Spanish tobacco.
