Luna Rossa Black Prada 2018

Every now and then I came across this fragrance on Parfumo - top rated, beautiful bottle. From time to time I read the fragrance description, comments and statements. And every now and then I came to the conclusion: It's not for me
-Fragrance direction "sweet-spicy"; I actually do not like sweet fragrances.
-Has a rubber or plastic "vibe"; what good is that supposed to do?

So every time I passed the shelf with the Pradas in various perfumeries I left it on the left. I tested the original Luna Rossa, the Luna Rossa Carbon or Prada L'homme intense (but only because I appreciate Prada L'homme very much). However, despite repeated testing, none of the above was bought.
Luna Rossa black, just like the sport, was not even considered.

Now it happened that a few weeks ago I happened to drop by at Müller's to look around for new products or a fragrance for the upcoming autumn. Among the not worth mentioning novelties I suddenly came to a halt in front of "This is Him" by Z&V and as I had this one in good memory I sprayed it on my forearm. Well, it needs some time until it develops, so I thought I could spray a second one at the same time. And as fate would have it, Luna Rossa Black stood right next to it. I don't know why but I said to myself in this moment "just try it", and so it happened
The first impression was as expected sweet, powdery - not bad but not outstanding either.
When I was on my way home I compared the two again and again and actually found the Z&V much better.
After about 2 hours I noticed that I was surrounded by an unbelievably pleasant scent mist during some movements, which I couldn't capture properly at that time. I also wondered which arm it came from or if it was a mixture of both arms. When I smelled it closer I realized that it must be the Luna Rossa Black. However, I noticed that it did not smell as appealing directly on the skin as the subtle mist that surrounded me. So I decided: it must be tested more exactly
Long story short: A week later he moved in with me
About the fragrance itself:
As described above, I find it almost too sweet-powdery at first and after extensive testing I have found out that it stays sweet on the skin. What fascinates me so much about Luna Rossa Black is the subtle mist of scent that surrounds it, which I would not describe too expertly: sparkling, warm, modern, slightly powdery, deep
The durability and sillage I would call the upper average. 6 to 8 hours you get a lot out of it.

It is hard to deny that writing comments is not one of my favourite activities, but I simply felt the need to dedicate one to this fragrance.
