Luna Rossa Sport Prada 2015

Yes, I confess: this fragrance is my signature, and not just since yesterday, but for almost ten years now. It's amazing how quickly time flies - and yet you're still here!

It was 2016, my first salary was in my account. And some of you will be seeing me again now, because I blew the money in the first week ("Live the first week like a king and the rest like a beggar" - you know the saying). I can't even remember what I bought back then. But I still remember Bleu de Chanel very clearly. And I also got a sample of the aforementioned Luna Rossa Sport back then.

First test:
"This thing has as much to do with sport as Oliver Kahn has to do with composure."
Apparently they were smoking good stuff in the marketing department back then, otherwise I can't explain this choice of name.

Well, so be it - the product was simply strong. It was the one perfume, the friend for life. Which I didn't realize at the time.
Prada simply makes the best daily/soap fragrances, and Luna Rossa Sport is no exception.

It starts with a wonderfully fresh, slightly powdery note, which is probably due to the lavender and ginger. The fragrance remains fairly linear throughout, but a certain warmth is added by tonka bean and vanilla. Beautiful and timeless.

What, hay is supposed to be in there? Well, let's leave it at that ... I certainly don't smell any of it.

For a typical "clean scent", it has surprisingly good sillage, which is probably due to the sweet note. The longevity is also absolutely reasonable: it stays with you reliably for 6-7 hours.
And yes - there have been plenty of compliments over the years.
But honestly? That's not what a signature fragrance is all about.

A signature fragrance should reflect your personality and identity. It should show how you want to be perceived by the outside world - and who you are.
It should simply be like you.

And what does this fragrance represent for me? Three words: "Mr. Nice Guy."

He is sincere and friendly.
He helps because he wants to help, not because he has to.
He is respectful, takes everyone as they are and treats everyone with dignity.
He is funny, loyal - but also clear in his feelings.
He's there when you need him.

This is how I imagine the ideal of this perfume.
And let's be honest: everyone would like to have someone like that in their life.

In conclusion, all that remains is to say:
Anything less than a 10 would not do this fragrance justice.
Yes, I know, it's not particularly unique, it doesn't stand out, and it certainly doesn't reinvent the wheel.
But anyone who doesn't give their signature fragrance a 10 hasn't found theirs yet.
I hope you stay with me for many years to come.
Here's to another ten wonderful years with you and hopefully many more to come
