Prada Luna Rossa Carbon is often described as the "smoother, more refined cousin" of Dior Sauvage. It shares the same ambroxan-heavy, modern fougère DNA but executes it with Prada's signature elegance and "soapy" polish. It opens with a sharp, peppery bergamot that is immediately met by a unique "metallic" accord and the scent of coal/soil, giving it a cool, industrial edge.
The heart features a high-quality lavender that is clean and aromatic, softening the metallic sharpness. The base is driven by Ambroxan and patchouli, creating a long-lasting, fresh, and slightly dark trail. It is less aggressive than other "blue" fragrances, making it the perfect choice for a professional who wants a mass-appealing scent that still feels sophisticated and well-groomed.
