Luna Rossa Sport by Prada Eau De Toilette for Men 100ml

Product Information

So Le Male is more of a sweet, smooth warm fragrance, where LRS is more a more soapy, spicy, masculin and grown up. The differences are huge. The opening is a burst of spicy freshness which is very appealing and noticeable. The combination of juniper and ginger is well done. As it begins to settle in, the next 30-45 minutes are it’s finest moments. That lavender seeping in combined with the spiciness is just killer the way it’s done. Being different by smelling odd or even unappealing does not mean it's good or that people will find you mysterious or enigmatic, they will simply think you smell weird or odd and assume you are nose blind and don't realise you smell strange. I really like this, it's fresh yet fairly sophisticated , fairly soft and not harsh or too youthful. Longevity: 9/10 (After the initial two hours, it comes closer to the skin for another three hours. Stays a skin-scent for a good five more hours)

When it comes to age factor I believe this will be best suited for 26+ as its not that playful like Eros, AHSEE, etc. But age is just a number if you love it then who cares.UPDATE: The more I wear this fragrance, the more I love it. The soapy Lavender is a work of art and I love wearing it after a shower at night. Prada produces the best soapy smelling fragrances on the market. I use to like it, now I love it. If I were to describe it to a friend in one sentence it would go as follows: It is a clean, sweet, powdery scent that is masculine enough. I'm not pretending to understand all the notes or if they share similarities in that department but they simply smell nothing like each other...at all. At first spray I thought this is decent, nothing special. So I didnt buy it. But I kept catching whiffs walking around the mall and after like a hour or so the scent changed completely. I was now WOWED. Cant really describe what I thought at first cause i wasnt digging it to much so I kinda wrote it off as I wasnt interested. Then that classic prada clean scent shined, the lavender, and then the base notes. The base notes with the lavender is where this scent shines. One word to describe this I would have to say "amazing". This is signature scent worthy in my honest opinion and it may end up being mine. This is a scent I dont hear much about and I believe it's highly underrated. As I keep bringing my hand up to smell cause it's to me a skin scent but others around me say they can still smell me and I only sprayed twice almost 7 hours ago. Never did i think that this would last as long as it has so far. I thought at max 3 maybe 4 hours cause they threw "sport" into its name. This is not a sport scent and it's very misleading, to me. If I washed it off like I wanted after spraying it on I would of never bought this. The magic is in the dry down and you just got to be patient to let this scent work its magic.

All in all, it’s a compliment getter that can be worn in just about any season and most occasions. I would even wear it to the office, but with just a couple of sprays. It’s not offensive or cloying, but a little will go a long way in that type of environment. It’s got great staying power, as good as any. Disregard claims that it doesn’t last…must have gone “nose-blind”. I dont own this, but I do own an older formulation of the original Luna Rossa. Ive only smelled this on another person, a complete stranger. Copier repairman actually had this on in our office and I could smell this wonderful, familiar scent filling one corner of our small office. Walked to the corridor to see a repair guy pleasantly smelling up the place. He has repaired our crappy copier many times and always wears this scent. as a man I had to casually ask him in my contrived macho voice what he was wearing. After revealing luna rossa sport I immediately drew the comparison to the original Luna Rossa but fresher, lighter, a slight twist, but just as aromatic. It has a smoothness and magnetism that will get others attention. Once it has completed its passage from beginning to end, the vanilla is intense. If you are not a fan of powdery vanilla, it might be a bit much. PRADA LUNA ROSSA SPORT was created by perfumer Daniela (Roche) Andrier who created numerous Prada editions, fragrances of the La Gemme collection by Bvlgari as well as the latest tea fragrance Eau Parfumee au The Bleu, fragrances by Marni, Bottega Veneta, etc. The perfume opens with tart-citrusy ginger blended with aromatic flavors of juniper berries. The heart of the fragrance is enriched with lavender, while the base is warmed with vanilla and tonka.

Oh and another thing, if something is 'mass apealing' or a 'crowd pleaser' then may I suggest that is a good thing? It's mass appealing because it appeals to a lot of people...because it smells nice....and that's bad because........? In terms of performance I use 8 sprays and I would say projection is about 1-1.5 hours while longevity is no more than 6-7 hours. And at no point during this wearing has the fragrance smelled bad- from opening to dry down, the scent is perfectly pleasant. The strange thing is that even though I'm not totally in love with this, I find myself reaching for it more than just about anything else. It's just so pleasant and easy to wear that it's become my dumb-reach for the cooler weather, as the original is for the warmer weather. Update- I own the entire Luna Rossa line now, and not only is this one my favorite, it’s in my top 5 favorite fragrances. I didn’t like the sweet vanilla-ish vibe at first, only because I was expecting something more fresh/citrus, being called “sport” and all. I’m reality, this scent IMO blends everything I LOVE about the Luna Rossa line and puts it all into one scent. I literally can spray this for any occasion, anytime, anywhere, it just works. All the other frags in my top 5 tend to have a very specific time and place for when they’re appropriate to wear, and this is easily the most versatile. It’s clean, crisp, but warm and cozy, and it’s just very uplifting and happy scent for me. Longevity is good, projection is good as well, it’s not loud and in your face but not subtle and disappearing either. Perfection!!
