    What do reviewers say about Marina and Megara?

    Marina doesn't whisper. The opening hits like sea air at speed, salt and davana going headfirst into what should be delicate florals. It's an aquatic that refuses to apologize for its intensity.Marina
    Most aquatics stay on the surface. This one goes deeper, heavy on the Ambroxan, honest on the seaweed, and unafraid to be a bit much. That's the draw.Megara
