Honestly, a very elegant and rich scent, plus the fragrance with the best projection and longevity in my collection.
I tried it and it’s not for me. After three or four hours, it might be to my liking, but the opening and heart notes are not. It’s curious, as it bears a strong resemblance to Givenchy Gentlemen Only Absolute in the heart, though less spicy (perhaps it was the tester or my skin). I adore Luna Rossa EDT, but this one isn’t for me.
We’ll see when L’Oréal decides to make this wonder disappear; I’m seeing it in fewer shops and at higher prices. It’s elegant and refined. The opening didn’t quite convince me, but its dry-down is the best I’ve ever smelled, with great projection and longevity; I can still detect it the next day.
Edit: After wearing it for several days, I’m now certain it’s a unique scent in my collection. It’s a formal fragrance, plain and simple, yet it possesses something that sets it apart from the rest. In a way, it can feel somewhat flat with little evolution, but that’s simply how Prada works. It blends a sense of cleanliness with a subtle sweetness that my wife adores more than any other perfume I own (and they’re certainly not bad ones). I find it quite balanced, with no single note overpowering the others. Even knowing I might be called sacrilegious, it strikes me as being in line with what Armani Code Parfum aims to convey. I’m not saying they’re identical, but they evoke the same ‘usage vibe’, with the caveat that this one outpaces Armani’s thanks to its note balance (Armani feels too heavy and overwhelming to me). However, this doesn’t mean I perceive the scent as unnatural; it doesn’t feel synthetic like Armani Code Parfum does. It does cause a certain olfactory fatigue; in fact, the less I apply, the more I notice it. Yesterday I sprayed it seven times at 06:30 and stopped smelling it shortly after, but by the afternoon my wife told me I smelled superb. This doesn’t mean it lasts forever, but on my skin, it ‘should’ perform very well (even if I don’t perceive it as much myself). On other days when I apply less, there are times I lose it and then suddenly it reappears, bringing a smile to my face. Versatility: I wouldn’t categorise it as an exclusive date fragrance; I’m not saying it can’t work, but it also suits other environments like the workplace or a relaxed setting with friends, not a party. I’m wearing it to the office and feel comfortable with it (on days I can actually smell it), which is ultimately what matters most. That clean base note Prada brings to its fragrances is absolutely sublime. Outfit: I see it as suitable for appropriate attire. It’s not for track pants, but you don’t need a suit. As my style is almost always casual (chinos, shirts, jumpers…), the fragrance fits perfectly. A slightly sportier look with jeans, a t-shirt and a hoodie could work, but I prefer other options that are a touch less formal. Weather: Fresh (autumn, early spring and certain winter days). I don’t see it for extreme cold as it’s not a super dense scent that would cut through the chill when you’re outside at 5°C. Nor do I view it as a warm fragrance, although the tonka bean does play its part. Nevertheless, since we don’t spend much time outdoors in winter and indoor temperatures are usually pleasant, it works correctly. Equally, I don’t see it as a mid-to-late spring fragrance; a clean and sweet scent above 15°C doesn’t seem appropriate to me (though this is personal opinion and tastes vary) as it can feel a bit heavy. In summer, I would rule it out completely. __________________ After much time trying to find it, today I had the ‘fortune’ of spotting it on the shelf at Geneva airport. I say ‘fortune’ because the price I paid is completely illogical, especially since there was no tester to try it, at least for the 100ml bottle. Nevertheless, I took the risk, and upon arriving home, I feel I made the right choice. I’ll be testing it for several days before writing a full review, but I had to post this because I’m 100% emotional. PS: They also had Versace Oud Noir (very interesting, but that one was outrageously expensive) and the Bvulgari Gem collection, which I found sublime (apart from, once again, the price).
One of the most overlooked ambered, dusty, and clean scents, perfect for any time without the sun. It’s like Armani Code or Bvlgari Black, but with a soapy, bright touch; sweet without being cloying, clean without smelling like fabric softener. For me, it’s the best Prada and it deserves more fame.
I’m sticking with Le Male, very similar to 212 Sexy Men or the new Le Male, as well as Armani Code EDP.
Powdery scent with a sweetness that doesn’t overpower but has real presence. The first time it didn’t last long, but after a few weeks of letting it rest, wow, what a difference! Now I can still smell it after 10 hours, and people keep complimenting me. It’s perfect for evening wear in cool weather. Women love it, finding it sexy and ideal for dates. I’ve received so many compliments. It’s a truly delightful fragrance. I’m completely happy with my purchase as it lifts my mood and others enjoy it too. I’d definitely recommend it.
Absolutely brilliant, smells sexy and is perfect for dates or cooler days. One of my absolute favourites, the performance is on another level.
A brutal fragrance; on my nose it’s almost identical to Xerjoff Alexandria 2, so much so that I’d dare say one inspired the other. Simply spectacular.
The scent is brilliant, but the new batches don’t last at all; if you want people to notice it, wear it cold or no one will smell it.
Smells nice, but over time it reminds me of Le Mâle, just sweeter. It’s okay, but it’s not worth the price it costs.
I tried it in a 10ml decant from Decanty and must say it surprised me. Prada Luna Rossa Black is captivating and mysterious, embodying passion and elegance in a bottle. The fresh and enigmatic opening of bergamot and black angelica is incredible. As it develops, the patchouli and leather reveal intense and seductive depth. It’s the perfect choice for those seeking a masculine and sophisticated fragrance that stands out in any occasion.
Smells very similar to The Body Shop’s White Musk For Men. I have both. I bought the White Musk first, and when I smelled this Prada, it was a direct reference. Now I compare them hand to hand; there are differences, but small. The Prada has more quality and ‘refinement’, is a bit sweeter, and has that impeccable cleanliness aura. The White Musk leans more towards laundry-clean, less sweet, thanks to the musk. It’s balanced, versatile for everything except heat or sun. It’s not explosive, maintaining an aura of half a metre. The bottle colour doesn’t match the scent: the black ones usually indicate imposing fragrances or ‘bad boy’ vibes, but this one brings peace, generates confidence, and invites people to get closer.
For now, the best of Prada. What an elegant scent, very similar to the coveted Van Cleef. Great aroma and performance, but the price left me plop.
In my opinion, the most mature and ‘nocturnal’ of the Prada Luna Rossa saga (made by L’Oreal). The scent isn’t original or powerful; there are many similar ones, especially in cheap Arab perfumery. It has echoes of classic 90s men’s fragrances, but lightyears less potent. On my skin (February 2023 batch), it lasts little, 3-4 hours, and the last 2 hours are just skin scent. It has that clean, refined soap DNA typical of Prada, but without ambroxan, more herbal with angelica, soft patchouli, and an ambered coumarin base. Ideal for men over 30 for intimate gatherings. Unfortunately, it seems discontinued since mid-2023 and is hard to find in Spain. On the grey market or second-hand, it will cost 70-80 euros. I wouldn’t pay for it even if I had to, unless you have spare cash, are a Prada fan, a crazy collector, or a scent bargain hunter.
Wow, what a sexy scent. I remember that in 2021 I moved to the US and spent time in Mexico. In the grounds of the house where we lived, there were herbs everywhere; I went out to smell them and met that little plant, angelica, also small. I met patchouli and mint. Every time I smell this fragrance, I relive those memories. It’s a bit similar to Marc Jacobs’ Bang Bang, but this one is less heavy, sexier, and more balanced. At first, it smells of guava, but the dry-down is masterful. I love it; I like it more than its mother, the traditional one.
Luckily, I only managed to get a decant. I’ll leave it; I can’t even think of giving it away. It reminds me of the St Martin’s bingo late at night, that ‘elegant’ lady with bad taste, excessive makeup, and cheap velvet. I fell for the trap trying to improve on Bvlgari’s Man in Black, but I’ve hit a brick wall. This, Ferragamo’s Uomo Signature, and Versace’s Oud Noir… all destined for oblivion.
When they say ‘reformulated’, I imagine a wizard in a kitchen stirring potions with curses and adding random ingredients. But here comes the spokesperson shouting to warn us of the trap. They’ve sacrificed themselves for us. If we went by the reviews, we wouldn’t know where to put our feet.
Although it was discontinued, I managed to grab a tester near my home and wore it for several days. Sweet and talc-like opening, with tonka bean and amber in full force. As it dries, it remains sweet and powdery, but the musk rises to balance the sweetness. Initial projection is 1.5m; at 3 hours it smells good, but by 6-7 hours it’s skin scent only. Ideal for cold weather, day or night, for work or going out. If you can find it and enjoy sweet, powdery scents, give it a try, although the performance is just about right.
Smelled like Armani Code Profumo. Tried it yesterday at Druni. It’s a very recent relaunch; until recently, everyone said it was discontinued.
It’s always welcome when good perfumes don’t disappear, and although this Luna Rossa Black could still be found drop by drop, it’s good news that those distribution issues are solved and it’s accessible like any other fragrance. I won’t review it as it’s well explained by others below, but I wanted to highlight that its scent has changed substantially: now the powdery and soapy part is much reduced, and the coumarin is more ‘toasted’ at the start and becomes creamy in the late dry-down, whereas before it was creamy from almost the beginning of the mid-phase. I suppose some change in the components caused this variation compared to older batches near the new launch, if one can call it that. Nevertheless, it remains a different perfume that won’t suit everyone, but undoubtedly it’s a good creation, which struggles quite a bit in performance despite already being reserved originally, but which I recommend trying and giving more than one chance.
Sisucoro, you’re not anosmic, it’s happened to me too. I’ve had Prada Black for a year or so; I got it back when it was discontinued. A few days ago I saw it on a shelf in a shop and thought ‘no way, how wonderful it’s back’, but a disappointment… The opening seems about the same as the previous version, but this one is extremely dull and linear, as you say, just ambroxan and it’s boring to the nose. With the gem that Prada Black used to be…
Since they relaunched it, I’ve tried it three times and all three times it’s smelled only of ambroxan. I remember the old one as loaded too, but with hints of vanilla and other things, but this new version smells only of pure ambroxan. Am I or have I become anosmic? I know the ambroxan scent well because once I bought the famous molecules to get to know them; Luna Rossa Black doesn’t go even adorned like those molecules. I have ambroxan diluted in pharmacy alcohol and they smell identical. Well, mine is more potent because I went overboard with the pipette on the wrist, haha
They’ve got it back on the shelves, I don’t know how its old formulation was, but this one comes very tired and discreet. The scent is pleasant, crisp, and elegant (very Prada), but it’s a sigh in terms of performance. Sometimes people don’t learn, and the Arabs are stepping on their heels. It makes me angry that they treat such a well-crafted scent this way.
What an impactful fragrance, recommended, a different scent with a subtle vanilla, impressive…!!!
I maintain that they reformulated it because I have all three versions. In this latest one, the opening is more intense, to a point where it’s distinct, but after 5 minutes it smells similar as they swapped the cloying aspect for something creamy. As a review below says, it’s become more creamy, whereas the previous ones were more cloying and crisp. The current version no longer has the evolution of the first version or the one before its discontinuation; it’s more linear. Fortunately, it retains quality and longevity. Scent 8, Quality 8, Projection 7, Longevity 7
If a man wears this perfume, well, I’d marry him. Spectacular on the female nose.
I’m not much of an amber fan… I don’t like how it usually presents itself. But in this Prada, it smells delicate, warm, and sweet, a pleasant little treat. Perhaps it’s the mix with coumarin and musk… Anyway, I absolutely love it. It feels rich. I wear it at the office and it’s brought good comments from colleagues. Although it doesn’t have a huge trail, those who have smelled it have liked it. I see it as ideal for autumn, though it’s versatile and could be used in spring and winter… Why not even summer nights?
Top perfume, no need to say more, it attracts compliments
Prada Luna Rossa Black: I understand it’s a hit; it has a distinct and striking scent. However, it just doesn’t work for me. I bought it blindly based on good reviews; initially, I liked that amber with angelica, but then it gets stuck (I don’t like powdery fragrances) and adds a burnt note. As it dries down, all the nice parts disappear and, in my opinion, it smells like burnt rubber with a cloying touch. I don’t feel the vanilla others mention; I do detect a leather nuance (not declared). I gave it several chances, but it simply didn’t work on my skin. Performance is average (6-8 hours). I don’t want to denigrate it, just to warn others before buying blindly, of course, as it might be a different story on another skin. Rating: 5/10
Prada Luna Rossa Black: Precious and dark, with a gloomy, nostalgic, rebellious, and mysterious style that has charm. It has the look of someone who needs a defined style, for the quiet, solitary, and silent type who, without saying a word, attracts those looking for connection. It is seductive, neat but not luminous, unusual yet kind. The amber and vanilla awaken a crazy calm; the musk adds sophistication and the woods give it body. It’s like a star shining in the darkness. Its opening is poetry in motion; in its development, it shows its beauty and cunning, a scent that influences female behaviour because it doesn’t offer everything at once, always keeping something that makes it irresistible and sexy. It denotes qualities like being authentic, gallant, nice, and different to satisfy the ego. It’s more complex than it appears, perhaps for that reason women like it in a man who reflects that just by looking at him. It is neat, balanced, refined, interesting, sexy, and mysteriously masculine. In introspection, it makes you feel you recognise yourself as an eccentric and attractive man. Totally for night use. Requires style and good dressing. Normal performance in my case. Scent: 10, Projection: 2 hours, Longevity: 6 hours. Recommended.
It’s clear Prada plays in a different league when it comes to designer fragrances; few realise this, but that handling of the iris… Dior doesn’t even do it. I love the Luna Rossa line; all its flankers hold elegance and class. This is the most evocative, mysterious, and deep. It’s a pity its performance has dropped since it came under L’Oréal’s ownership. Wear it in cool seasons, at night, to captivate. A 10.
Divine. A very fine powdery amber. Excellent for autumn and with a black suit. It’s one of those addictive DNA scents that never bore or tire me, and I’m amazed by how unobtrusive it is. Perhaps quite unisex. With this and Dior’s iris scents, these are the staples that tell me I smell like a woman. Despite this, it’s a scent I love unconditionally.
I love it, but it’s the first fragrance in a long time where I can complain about the longevity. Let’s hope it improves with maceration.
I love you Prada Luna Rossa Black, I was born for you and you were born for me. They have destroyed you with reformulations, but that doesn’t diminish our love. You are beautiful, elegant, timeless, ambered, and complex. Everything I dreamed of in a fragrance: that half-powdery/creamy touch, bathed in aromatic spices, with a light DNA of Luna Rossa Carbon (like Sauvage) very deep in the background. Time has passed and you remain just as beautiful. No matter what fragrance I try, you will always be in my mind.
Dark and elegant, PLRB projects class and distinction. Ideal for the man seeking sophistication and mystery on nights or in cool climates. At first, it’s dark; the bergamot is so subtle I don’t notice it, going straight to the depths. As it dries, there’s a green and earthy phase (the angelica and patchouli). The soul is the base: a vanilla powder that, while sounding odd, makes sense. That coumarin with amber and musk creates something enveloping. To summarise: it’s powdery and clean (that Prada DNA), but it adds maturity. It feels like a ‘talcum-powdered old man’, very sophisticated and neat. It has a slight, balanced sweetness, never cloying. It’s not youthful and demands cool climates. Although powdery isn’t my vibe, I recognise it’s rich and well-constructed. For the quality, I give it 7/10, though the powdery touch deducts points.
This is exactly what I was looking for: an olfactory experience with its own identity. In an industry full of copies, finding something with a soul is a joy. It’s very good, not perfect, but brilliant. I’ve never heard of an Angélica; I know it’s described as powdery, dark, and mysterious, but those adjectives are often clichéd. Here, to my surprise, they are real. It doesn’t open with citrus, but rather with that powdery, medicinal amber body that lingers. Initially, there’s a slight acidic note, like the lemon residue left when making liquid caramel with citric acid, which fades after 15 minutes. Then comes the heart: mysterious, like hospital cotton dipped in makeup powder, bringing you close to a haberdasher with nardos. It faintly reminds me of Good Girl by Carolina Herrera and Natura’s Humor Estelar (the latter being cheaper and resinous), but they share that vibe. That caramel note, the nardos, and the rose base create a deep, subtly charming scent. It’s too feminine for me, but it’s the perfume of a Femme Fatale, not a ‘dark man’. I associate the sweet patchouli with feminine fruitchouli. I’d recommend it to women; I’d love to wear it on fresh days. It lasts 5 hours before flattening out to skin scent with that coumarin trail which I’m not entirely fond of. The best part is the dry down: wearable, with just the right weight and a pronounced sweetness. At first, it’s hard to separate the notes between musk and amber, but then you get hooked and don’t let go. 8/10.
Very elegant, clean, and powdery. A fragrance for a mature man, not a party-goer or a conqueror, but rather serious and business-like. I liked it very much; it follows the path of Armani Code but is less sweet.
I had high hopes, but ultimately I had to part ways with it. They say it’s mysterious and dark, yet I don’t see it that way. It’s so heavily musky and powdery that it smells like a baby towel; I can’t stop associating it with that and it feels far from serious or formal. I can’t find a reason to wear it. Although I adore powdery scents, this one just doesn’t work for me. It has that sweet touch reminiscent of JPG’s Le Male Le Parfum, which I would definitely buy; this Prada, however, will never happen again.
I’m 27. I like it, though not as much as I hoped. At first glance, it seems serious, suitable for events or dates. It reminds me of His Confession, minus the iris, but with that powdery makeup touch. As it develops, it becomes more mysterious and earthy, yet soft. Ideal for formal evening events; I wouldn’t wear it daily as it loses its magic. They say to wear it in black. It seems pricey here, but it’s an excellent choice if you’re looking for something that doesn’t shout and invites people to get closer. Sparkling at the start, it gains more body and personality as it dries. If Batman wore a fragrance, it would be this one.
