Megalium
Megalium by Carner Barcelona is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with cinnamon and mandarin, moves into nutmeg, pimento, black pepper and rose and dries down to frankincense, myrrh, opoponax and styrax. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Cinnamon Sweet heat. Reads festive, sometimes to a fault.
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
Heart
- Nutmeg Warm, woody and slightly sweet. Cosy without being gourmand.
- Pimento Allspice — clove, cinnamon and nutmeg at once. Hot and rounded.
- Black Pepper Dry and prickly. Gives a fragrance grip and a bit of bite.
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
Dry-down
- Frankincense Bright, peppery, church-like resin. Lifts and cools a fragrance.
- Myrrh Bitter, smoky resin. Ancient-smelling and slightly cool.
- Opoponax Sweet myrrh. Balsamic, warm and slightly medicinal.
- Styrax Smoky, leathery balsam. Slightly rubbery and dark.
