Contemporary Rubber
Luna Rossa Black is a well composed likable fragrance, and I have no doubt it will have a solid success on the market during next three to five years. In my opinion, it is nothing revolutionary – it takes the idea behind legendary Bvlgari Black and reshapes it for a contemporary audience with some Ambroxan undertones. It opens with just a touch of bergamot and immediately goes to Bvlgari-like eraser rubber. Personally, I am a big fan of these rubber accords that reminds me of school. I can sense also some lavender touch as a hommage to Gaultier’s Le Male. Beneath this main rubber accord are hidden some vanilla undertones with benzoin and Tonka as a more pronounced notes. Possibly, these two notes are responsible for this amber-like olfactory mirage plus some shady and contemporary Ambroxan touch.

Rating: 7/10

From enemies to lovers
I can't believe it i used to hate this fragrance! When i first tried it made me physically recoil. I even gagged... A year later im in love. Vanilla is not my favourite note but here it's done in very unique way in my opinion. Musky, little bit aromatic, powdery and ambery vanilla done beautifully, very well blended. A very sexy take on vanilla without making it gourmand or overly sweet. The performance isn't the best but for scents like this i don't think it really matters. Lasts long enough and projects enough for my need but don't excpect more than 6 hours after that i can still detect it as a soft skin scent but obviously it wont project well after the first few hours. Sad to see it getting harder and harder to find, i hate being late to the party but it is wath it is. Seen a lot of people call it a date scent but i think this could easily be daily, very versatile in my opinion. This fragrance is another reason why Prada is the best designer house in my opinion. Sensational scent, must try while you can.

Is it my nose?
So, this scent is on my radar since about one year but I just did not had the chance to try it properly. And only with the help of two samples received from various orders, I had my chance to test it and understand what is the hype for ?

Well .. I do not want to be the party breaker but this scent and I will not be friends.

Initially I thought that I might have the Covid, because the scent was barely noticeable after 4-5 sprays on the strip and I was recording to make a First Impressions video but it was not possible to get anything than some ambery sweetness, something Grand Soir would smell like after 4,5 hours and you reapply some bergamot and patcholi scent on top.

The first recording was deleted because I did not have good things to say about it and I do not want to post negative videos, if I do not like a scent, I will not upload a review for it. But I considered that I can give it a second change and used the second sample.

My thoughts about it, you can see them below, thank you.

Classy cool weather fragrance
This one shocked me a little, I think I was expecting a warm slightly spicy cold weather fragrance. Slightly sweet and powdery during dry down. Patchouli, amber, classy, and fresh. Solid projection and the longevity lasted easily 10 hours when sprayed on clothing (6-8 sprays)

Elegance Embodied in the Night: A Radiant Review of Prada Luna Rossa Black
I had the privilege of immersing myself in the enchanting olfactory world of Prada Luna Rossa Black, and I was captivated by its enveloping complexity and magnetic essence. This fragrance is an ode to sophistication, a symphony of notes that dance together in harmony, creating an unparalleled sensory experience.
The top notes of bergamot and watermelon open the fragrance with a lively freshness, introducing the olfactory traveler to an atmosphere of vibrant energy. This dynamic prelude then evolves into a heart rich in amber and musk accents, adding depth and sensuality to the composition. The powerful and enveloping leather accord makes its way with elegance, giving the fragrance a distinct and intriguing virility.
What sets Prada Luna Rossa Black apart is its ability to adapt to the moment you wear it. During the day, the fragrance manifests with a note of sophisticated freshness, while at night it transforms into a seductive and mysterious aura. It's as if the fragrance has an intrinsic duality, reflecting the versatility and uniqueness of the wearer.
The longevity of this fragrance is remarkable, accompanying the wearer through the day's adventures with an elegant persistence. The effortless elegance of Prada Luna Rossa Black makes it the ideal choice for those seeking a fragrance that fits their dynamic and sophisticated lifestyle.
In conclusion, Prada Luna Rossa Black is an ode to modernity and elegance. Its balanced combination of freshness and sensuality makes it a perfect accompaniment for those looking to stand out with class. This fragrance is a hymn to the night, an invitation to explore the most fascinating side of one's personality. Wearing it is a unique experience that leaves an unforgettable trail wherever you go.

Luna Rossa Black is spicy, powdery, sweet with amber and coumarin. It has a musky and dark scent and a pleasant car tires feel.

This is a niche fragrance in a designer's bottle! There is magic to this one off skin. meaning, it smells better in the air than on skin.

Musky, powdery, elegant, soft, gentle, clean, fresh. Inoffensive and appealing scent that will not fill a room. Intimate and enjoyable.

This is pure sex appeal. Smooth patchouli, creamy tonka, and smoldering wood (minus the smoke). Kept coming back to smell the tester strip!

Scent and longevity are both fantastic…it’s the projection and sillage that suck. Which is unfortunate. More of a date night scent.
