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

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)

Body Shop White Musk for men
This is a carbon copy of White musk for men by body shop. It's pleasant. But basically sweet Tonka and musk with a peppery edge. A little too raw and rudimentary for me. Something a bit skanky puts me off. I think its the angelica and bare tonka. Would have been better with some florals to soften it and smooth it off a little

Stardust in a Bottle
I received this bottle as a gift one or two years ago, and it has been a staple in my fall and winter rotation ever since.

It's hard to describe what this actually smells like. It has some sweetness with a powdery texture, but it's also a bit dark. There is the slightest hint of a gourmand profile, but its ethereal nature makes it hard for me to pin it down to any one thing in this reality. I would sooner imagine stars, magic, and the arcane.

The scent is quite versatile, able to be worn in both formal and casual settings, day, and night. Its performance is very good too, typically lasting around 8 hours on my skin with moderate projection that gently reminds me of its presence throughout the day.

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

My winter signature forever, this and the extreme are amazing. Smells very heliotropic on my skin, and fits perfectly. Mysterious stardust.

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

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.

Purchased it immediately after try at a department store. How a combination of rubber tires and dark citrus creams make such a nice scent!
