Luna Rossa Carbon
by Prada
Luna Rossa Carbon by Prada is a meticulously crafted modern fragrance that captures the essence of Dior Sauvage while refining its profile into something more balanced and approachable. It opens with a sharp, citric burst of bergamot and pepper, followed by a prominent lavender note that gives the scent its signature smoothness. The development is clean and subtly soapy, with a metallic undertone that brings an industrial yet elegant character. This evolves into a rich, slightly sweet dry-down where ambroxan and patchouli blend seamlessly, creating a refined and versatile profile. Performance is moderate—projection is moderate for about 3 hours, then it settles into a skin scent that lingers for up to 8 hours on most skin chemistries. It's particularly well-suited to spring and summer, and has strong appeal in office settings due to its sophisticated, non-invasive character.

- +Clean, fresh, and versatile scent with strong appeal in professional and casual environments.
- +A sophisticated, refined alternative to Dior Sauvage with smoother, more balanced projection.
