New bottle - old familiar?
...largely yes!
If I had to compare the new fragrance from Prada, I would say it is very similar to Luna Rossa Ocean Eau de Toilette.
In some moments, especially in the transition from top to heart note, I can also clearly recognize parallels to Luna Rossa Sport.
However, I personally found the latter less pleasant, as it simply doesn't seem rounded and harmonious. The new Le Parfum does this much better.
Nevertheless, and I think this should be clear to everyone, Prada is not reinventing penicillin here! Such fragrances should therefore be approached with a correspondingly reasonable and rational expectation.
A Luna Rossa is a Luna Rossa and I find it remarkable that Prada has created a basic DNA here that is always recognizable.
To be more precise, I am talking here about a thoroughly elegant note, which can usually be perceived through fine powdery notes. This DNA is also present here, albeit somewhat less pronounced.
The fragrance starts with a clear citrus note and is therefore quite fresh.
The Prada newcomer gallantly skips the heart note, because I don't smell any saffron here, which I am personally pleased about. Saffron is certainly on everyone's lips thanks to some fragrances and yet it's not my world.
The base note, on the other hand, is much clearer, into which the fragrance plunges with breathtaking speed.
Sweetish amber and a rather dry, woody note are quickly recognizable.
Nevertheless, the fragrance loses little of its freshness at first, but this changes over time.
As is so often the case, the citrus fades and what remains is a sweetness that radiates on an amber base, paired with a continued dry, woody note.
Silage and projection are quite strong at the beginning, but after 1-2 hours the whole thing flattens out noticeably. In terms of staying power, Prada lasts around 6-7 hours on my skin.
The bottle is quite successful, although the name and bottle color once again don't really match the fragrance, but that's nothing new and doesn't automatically make the whole thing bad per se. I find the spray head less appealing, but that's the case with all Luna Rossa variants...
Conclusion:
If you own the Luna Rossa Ocean Eau de Toilette and are satisfied with it, you will probably only need it when the bottle is empty.
If you own a Luna Rossa Sport but would like it to be rounder and a little fresher, a test would probably not be a bad thing.

Lattafa's version of Megamare?
....In large parts, yes!
There is no question, at least in my view, that Lattafa is approaching Megamare with the fragrance called Atlas.
Atlas is characterized by a strongly salty, algae-like note, which is most reminiscent of the deep...
