![]() ![]() The courageous and resolute nature of Prada Luna Rossa Carbon readies you for the demanding responsibilities of the day. Steam-distilled botanicals meet synthetics here, and the result is a mystery aroma of conviction, power, and resolve – a fragrance that is mature, robust, and authoritative. It has a soothing depth that warms from the inside. Captivating and deliciously daring hints of soil tincture, ambroxan, and patchouli compete for prominence as the fragrance dries down. Opening with distilled notes of bergamot and pepper, the perfume progressively mellows and then develops into lavender, metal, and coal. And Prada Luna Rossa Carbon does it better than any other men’s fragrance. It embodies perseverance, diligence, poise, and zeal.Īromatic Fougere fragrances should be bold, firm, and potent enough to evoke the comforting warmth of a crackling fire. It is a fragrance for the man who believes in himself and is willing to go to any length to ensure that others do as well. That is the feeling this perfume provides. Imagine taking a stroll along the airy, rocky coastlines of the Faroe Islands. I just prefer the original more so.Easily one of the most audacious perfumes in the world, the 2017 Prada Luna Rossa Carbon unites the intensity of the darkest rock with the freshness of the air to provide a rich and deep experience. It sort of all depends on how you want your lavender note served up. Neither one of these is a bad cologne, but Luna Rossa has a more pleasant and desirable aroma, in my opinion. If you’re someone who really enjoys Dior Sauvage, this is a very close approximation of that scent, especially when smelled from a distance. The lavender never becomes too heavy and once that initial orange and mint tones down, it’s an attractive wear. The spearmint note adds a nice little dash of cooled sharpness to the cologne, which I feel keeps it from getting boring. In it’s minimalism, Luna Rossa is very fresh and inviting. However, in my mind the original Luna Rossa smells better. So, Carbon has the edge in terms of it’s strength and staying power, and there’s no clear winner in versatility. They can both do the everyday, casual, office wear, and date night. I don’t see a real winner in terms of when it can be worn seasonally or during specific occasions. Luna Rossa doesn’t have that one note, that will just keep going, while Carbon does have more heft to its overall composition. Both of these fall pretty consistently within this range. Luna Rossa isn’t bad, but Carbon has better staying power. It’ll last 10+ hours on my skin, while I can only manage 6-8 hours with Luna Rossa. You’ll definitely notice that its there, but you’re not going to overwhelm the room, unless you go crazy with the sprays. Luna Rossa isn’t weak, it’s just not a powerhouse. It outdoes the mint note in the original. The citrus, pepper, and ambroxan gives Carbon its punch early on. Carbon is pretty loud at the beginning and then settles down into a moderate, though, it is a stronger moderate than the original. Heck, even on the lighter end of the spectrum of moderate. The more time that I have spent with each, over the past few years, the more that I like Luna Rossa’s start compared to Carbon’s. Plus, the lavender is much more subdued in the original than in Carbon. The orange gives it a different citrus aroma, they share the lavender, and the mint sets it apart. Which one do I like better? I think I have a slight affinity towards how Luna Rossa starts off. This whole affair, is why it draws so many comparisons with Sauvage. Add to that, the signature lavender (which starts off lighter), and you’ve got yourself a very pleasing scent.Ĭarbon, on the other hand, opens with a pretty intense bergamot citrus, and is joined by lavender, pepper, and ambroxan.Īfter about five minutes, the lavender becomes much more of the biggest star of the composition. It’s a nice balance between that bitter orange citrus and the cooling freshness of the spearmint. The bitter orange citrus is the main highlight of the open. It has a bright, positive, albeit ‘breezy’ sort of quality. The original Luna Rossa, opens with a blast of citrus and lavender, which is quickly joined by that cold spearmint note.
