The scent of lavender and woody juniper is very present. The lavender makes it aromatic with something citrusy, and as it settles, juniper emerges with more power along with the amber, reminding me a lot of the scent freshly opened pinecones give off.
A dark fragrance for young people; for the target audience, I don’t think it matters much if it’s artificial. The body of the fragrance is a very strong pepper note, all of it sweetened by lavender and vanilla. To give it a mysterious touch, the juniper berries along with the amber give it an alcoholic sensation, as if you were smelling a bitter liqueur style Amaretto. It can be quite cloying, so it’s better not to use it daily and save it for nocturnal use. The age range would be around 25 years; the trail and longevity are high.
A little-discussed fragrance that holds great potential. I’ve received compliments on the scent. It has a touch of tobacco.
Very good perfume, like most Prada ones. An intense opening that settles down to finish with a soft vanilla scent and a woody touch.
Prada Luna Rossa Extreme is for me, and first and foremost, it’s a fragrance very much in the style of the prestigious Italian house but with an evident modern touch. It has nothing to do with the Luna Rossa EDT, which is soapy and citrusy, a daytime scent. Luna Rossa Extreme features a generous, fresh lavender opening that makes the fragrance addictive, paired with a touch of bergamot. Soon, the lavender plays with amber and vanilla in one of the most harmonious combinations I’ve encountered in years. There is an initial phase, from the opening to the heart, that feels intense and clean; later, you perceive juniper berries with black pepper and labdanum, along with smoky notes (not declared). It is in this second phase that the fragrance undergoes a change that makes it nocturnal. My companion @Brasidas describes this aspect very well, comparing it to an Amaretto liqueur, and certainly it’s a very well-executed sensation. The cleanliness of the perfume contrasts with more bitter and woody notes, achieving beautiful fusions at all times. In my case, it’s a 10 because its trail and longevity are highly significant (though this is subjective and depends on each person’s pH), and above all, it manages not to be boring at all. On several nights out, it has been an unqualified success, and the positive vibes and compliments have been very gratifying. I would recommend testing it and trying it out calmly because the results can be surprising. While all Prada fragrances swim in elegance, this one is more modern without abandoning the sophisticated style that its perfumer always offers. It’s not that expensive either, as you can find it for 58.95 euros in a 100 ml bottle.
Greetings; the fragrance itself isn’t bad, but it has left much to be desired. I feel the comments have been too benevolent and exaggerated; its trail is barely perceptible for an EDP. It seemed like a watered-down version of Midnight in Paris or Bvlgari Black, which I find much better, and its vanilla reminds me of Fahrenheit Parfum, which is lightyears away in quality and performance. In other words, I would be happier now with two bottles of MiP or two of FP. But the truth is, it smells delicious… I don’t see the ‘EXTREME’ anywhere (perhaps only in the price).
Hello. I’ve gradually grown to like this fragrance. I had the chance to travel to a cold climate, and it really is the ideal temperature for it; that’s where you see the results: good fixation, a noticeable improvement in the trail, and it lasts on clothes for days. Now I have no regrets about buying it. Definitely, in my case, it performs better in low temperatures. It’s an exquisite fragrance that deserves a second chance in the right setting. In my country it’s expensive and rare, but it’s well worth having for special occasions, preferably in cool or cold weather. A crisp or very cold night in a restaurant with your beloved, then a walk through a park under the moon, a rose… an intense kiss.
Luna Rossa Extreme: what a beast! As my friends say, it deserves a second chance and has nothing to do with the original EDT. How extreme! It lasts over 20 hours on the skin, and even after a shower, it lingers on my clothes for four days with just two sprays. It smells very much like Spicebomb by V&R: spicy, dry, dark, and heavily peppery. I prefer this version, though that’s just my taste; it has a touch of vanilla that sweetens it slightly and it’s delicious. A guy told me it smells like pure wood and he loves it. What I notice most is an elegant bitterness that goes down my throat from the juniper berries; they are very bitter and astringent. It cleared up my doubt about why my friend @Brasidas smells alcohol and amaretto (to me, it smells like Fernet); according to botany, juniper is bitter and the base of a Gin Tonic. I’d wear it in the cold and at night, but I leave it for summer and avoid using it daily. Given its chemistry, I wouldn’t recommend it blindly. I don’t understand the concept of LUNA or the reason for ROSSA, but EXTREME is clear to me. THANKS @Chrystiane for explaining LUNA ROSSA. A hug.
Straight to my wishlist. I have smelled it and it brings to mind Tobacco Vanille by Tom Ford, but with less tobacco and sweetness. It’s like a lighter version of Tobacco Vanille. I’m ordering it.
It suits me well. It opens with a strong lavender note and a hint of pepper, then the lavender fades while vanilla and amber rise. It’s a heavy fragrance; on blotter it seemed lighter, but on skin it feels a bit overwhelming. It’s pleasant, though I detect something slightly artificial. Ideal for autumn and winter, and perfect for going out at night. The longevity is excellent and the trail is moderate.
‘Luna Rossa E X T R E M E’ As my esteemed @Alfredo Hernandez and @Juancar677 say, it is a fragrance that deserves a second chance and it bears no resemblance to the Luna Rossa edt. What an EXTREME it is! It has extreme longevity of over 20 hours on my skin; even after showering, it is still detectable and lasts around 4 days on clothes. Two sprays and that’s it. Its scent is quite similar to Spicebomb by V&R: spicy, dry, dark, with a pepper note. To be honest, I like Luna Rossa Extreme a little more; with that I don’t mean it is better, I speak personally. It is slightly ‘sweetened’ by vanilla, very rich. Out of curiosity, a gentleman told me he senses ‘pure wood’ and liked it quite a bit. What I perceive most is an elegant bitterness that penetrates the throat, due to juniper berries (juniper in English), quite bitter and astringent. It also cleared up my doubt about why my companion @Brasidas senses the alcoholic and bitter note of amaretto (to me it smells like Fernet); according to a botanical work, the juniper fruit, besides being bitter, is the main component to create GIN TONIC (Gin). In cold and night weather I would keep it, and in summer I would avoid it for daily use. Due to its chemical composition, I would not recommend it for blind buys. The only thing I still don’t understand is the concept of LUNA and even less why ROSSA; the meaning of EXTREME is clear to me. NOTE: many thanks to companion @Chrystiane for clarifying the concept of LUNA ROSSA, grateful for his explanation and time. Hugs.
As a clarification to Nelson Gil’s comment: the name of the Luna Rossa franchise is a transliteration from English to Italian, ‘Red Moon’, which translated into Spanish is Luna Roja. This is how the yacht of the Prada house that competes annually in the sailing world cup was named, as this fragrance was inspired by that water sport. That is why in the promotional video and advertising, both the models and the background feature the rowing team of the Red Moon membership. It is no coincidence that the brand created a limited edition exclusively for the 24th world meeting of that discipline.
Very true what the last comment says. Unfortunately, Luna Rossa Extreme will be discontinued from the Prada range, as the Puig sales assistant explained to me. I don’t understand how, given its such good reception among male customers. However, I can advance that next year there will be the launch of a new edition called Luna Rossa Carbone, which they said will be much more intense, and I hope it also comes in eau de parfum format. As a note, I clarify that the franchise belongs to Prada Rossa, which represents the sporting world of the brand. Let’s hope Prada surprises us with the new edition.
To clarify why certain fragrances are withdrawn: it depends on distribution by market type. Formats for retail versus duty free are compared. That is why some continue in certain centres while others do not. Exclusive and expensive collections usually go only to retail with VAT, while duty free or free zone formats are removed and stated as no longer distributed. At least in my free zone, certain collections that used to arrive no longer come, but in the metropolitan area retail they are still sold.
In some places it is no longer available (for example, at If perfumeries), so there must be a reason. Then, Corte Inglés has it at an excessive price, about €10 more than other shops. If you like it, buy more of this Luna Prada; it deserves it. And just in case… well, better safe than sorry.
There are fragrances still being manufactured but withdrawn from certain markets. For example, Ralph Lauren Safari is no longer sold here after decades, although it is still produced and the entire line is sold in the country. It is also still available in Chile. Another case is Kenzo Jungle, which was always available here but was hard to find elsewhere. Viktor & Rolf Antidote in the USA commands crazy prices on eBay because it is discontinued, while in the UK it is still available. There are many such cases; it’s not all black and white, friends.
A fragrance I didn’t like, perhaps because I tried it in summer. I can’t find anything pleasant about it; it’s a strange blend that turns rancid on my skin.
The fragrance has been discontinued in Spain since November 2016. If you find a bottle in a shop, it will be pure luck.

Extreme? It lasts longer than the original Luna Rossa. The scent is top-notch and would be my favourite if it had better longevity. The opening is spicy and unique, with a sublime dry-down. A great fragrance.
A spicy beginning but not incisive, somewhat boozy. I feel it is a well-blended perfume, with few variations in its evolution, but I don’t find it boring. Moreover, it delivers that sense of cleanliness that all Prada fragrances I have tried give. It is one of the ones that lasts longest on my skin, approximately 9-10 hours. And it projects very well during the first 4 hours. It goes perfectly for cold climates and feels versatile.
To my taste, the best flanker of the Luna Rossa line (discontinued in real-time stores). Its abundance of lavender, black pepper, juniper berries, and vanilla is what I feel most in a blend that achieves excellent touches. I have been lucky that on my skin the perfume becomes very intense, and at night (not so much in summer) it is perceived wonderfully and well above the rest of the competition in a place. Which I am very grateful for. I think the key lies in the combination of sweet notes with others that are bitter, that sensation of an Italian aperitif liqueur. Longevity and trail on my skin are impeccable. The best compliment I received was: ‘You smell like a very good modern classic’, although the sensation I like most is that it produces good vibrations among your friends and even those who are not.
Luna Rossa Extreme is a spicy oriental book fragrance. It’s a fragrance for slow appreciation, meaning it deserves more than one opportunity to be enjoyed. Its opening is not easy to digest; the scent feels resinous and plastic during the first few minutes, with a strong load of black pepper. As time passes, it becomes more peaceful, the floral load intensifies, and you can appreciate the lavender note and the labdanum, the latter giving it a balsamic nature and a slight camphoraceous touch. Throughout the development, the pepper carrying the spicy load of this fragrance and the amber giving it that resinous sensation are noticeable; what I fail to perceive is the vanilla, or at least not in a significant way. As I mentioned earlier, it doesn’t seem to be an easy fragrance to appreciate at first glance, but after several tests, I’ve grown to appreciate it more. It’s curious that all the fragrances in the Luna Rossa line are different from each other; they even seem not to be flankers of the original Luna Rossa. Perhaps this Extreme and the Sport are the most similar to each other, especially in the dry-down, but Luna Rossa Extreme seems darker and less wearable, yet with more personality, while the Sport is softer and brighter. I see its preferred use at night or in cool climates, and its longevity was very good in the tests I did, lasting more than 10 hours. I don’t know if it has been discontinued, as I can still find it here in Mexico, however, it is no longer shown on the Prada website; perhaps it’s a sign that they are gradually taking it off the market.

I liked it very much. I consider it a woody oriental of Western taste, with a use of vanilla that would be called ‘exemplary’: it is on that fine line between boozy and the smell of freshly cut wood. To this must be added the juniper, which gives it a decidedly wild, dry, and very original nuance, also very masculine. On the other hand, the spicy notes are there to accentuate every detail. Another detail I liked is that, among the cracks of such a carefully crafted composition, I perceived that soapy layer that I so enjoyed in Prada Amber pour Homme, where it was the protagonist. The projection seems average, nothing extraordinary, perhaps leaning towards discreet. The longevity is indeed very good. Elegant, formal, urban but mysterious; it will certainly attract the attention of attentive noses.
LUNA ROSSA EXTREME by PRADA is, without a doubt, a spicy oriental fragrance. OPENING: it starts with lots of black pepper, but doesn’t stop there; it adds other unlisted spices such as saffron and nutmeg, and I detect licorice. It reminds me of AMOUAGE EPIC MAN for that spicy ensemble and strong oriental tone. I also notice something original, like a gin aroma, probably due to the juniper berries which give it a tipsy, acrid, spicy, and camphorated touch. Perhaps it carries ginger like the SPORT. DEVELOPMENT AND DRY DOWN: it’s one of those that starts this way and maintains it until the end. I don’t detect bergamot, lavender, or the declared amber and vanilla. Instead, I appreciate leather and sandalwood. These notes were already in AMOUAGE EPIC MAN from 2009, so Prada has inspired masterfully. If you like AMOUAGE EPIC MAN and can’t afford those astronomical prices, this is a very satisfying substitute at a reasonable price. SCENT: elegant, oriental, spicy, warm, and enveloping. TRAIL: moderate to high. LONGEVITY: high. USE: for special occasions, night, going out, parties. It’s unisex, niche-style but at a good price.
LUNA ROSSA EXTREME by PRADA undoubtedly belongs to the oriental spicy family. TOP NOTE: it begins with a spicy aroma of black pepper, but it doesn’t stop there; it adds other undeclared spices like saffron and nutmeg, and I even detect hints of licorice. It reminds me of AMOUAGE EPIC MAN for that spiced ensemble, giving it a very pronounced oriental tone. I also perceive a note of originality, something like gin, probably due to the juniper berries, which gives it a boozy, acrid, spicy, and camphorated point. Perhaps it carries ginger like LUNA ROSSA SPORT. MIDDLE AND BASE NOTES: it is a fragrance that starts this way and remains so until the dry-down. I don’t perceive the declared notes of bergamot, lavender, amber, or vanilla. Instead, I appreciate leather and sandalwood. All these notes were already present in AMOUAGE EPIC MAN from 2009, four years earlier, so Prada clearly took great inspiration from that masterful production. For anyone who likes AMOUAGE EPIC MAN but cannot afford its astronomical prices, I find in this LUNA ROSSA EXTREME a very satisfactory substitute at a much more affordable price. SCENT: very elegant, oriental, spicy, warm, and enveloping / TRAIL: moderate leaning towards high / LONGEVITY: high / USAGE: more suitable for important events, night, going out, parties. It is a unisex fragrance in the line of any niche perfume but at a much more affordable price.
One of the best spiced perfumes. The opening is like a black pepper bomb, very aggressive, better not to smell it too close to the skin. Then it becomes fresher and sweeter thanks to the lavender and vanilla. One of the best for winter. It has character, it’s masculine, and very few resemble it. It’s a pity it’s discontinued; it’s almost impossible to find, but luckily I found a website selling it in 10ml minis called Scent Leopard. If you hurry, you can still buy it. I love Luna Rossa Extreme; I don’t understand why they stopped making it.
Fantastic perfume! I picked up a tester a few days ago because this wonder is discontinued and I tried it today for the office. From the very first moment, you can tell it’s different; more than oriental, it feels like a fougère with a dense, dark base. A very pleasant creamy scent where the pepper and vanilla are perfectly balanced. The longevity is top-notch: I’ve worn it for 12 hours and it still lingers on my wrists. The trail is acceptable; it doesn’t dazzle but doesn’t overwhelm either. A perfume to wear well-dressed, day or night. Ideal for autumn, winter, and spring evenings.
In my opinion… what a great success buying three bottles when I knew it was going to be discontinued. By far, the best men’s perfume from Prada. I don’t understand why they stopped producing it.
Unusual, dry, iodine-heavy, wild, spicy, medicinal, and boozy. I tried it in a small-town perfumerie with only three or four bottles; they didn’t even know it was discontinued and expensive. For me, it’s a no-go; it makes my skin crawl and smells of rancid poison. It’s that seventies amber from the house, with a halogen and iodine aftertaste, as if you were crushing insects in a mortar under a neon light. Luna Rossa Extreme is a very original flanker, nothing like the original line, much sportier. It opens with a pulpy, dry sweetness, like mixing bell pepper with sawdust shavings. Then a fluorescent, spicy note emerges, without sexy or party chords; that halogen tone highlights lavender, broom, and juniper—dry, oily, natural, and sticky, with memories of bushes and desolate landscapes. I don’t like it, but I enjoy how well it’s made: a rare hybrid that reminds me as much of a disco perfume as of a house cut off from the world where time has stopped. It’s gothic, dark, decadently romantic, and very unsympathetic. It carries boozy, dry sweetness, herbs with formaldehyde memories, corrupted or wet vanilla, and an unpleasant, bourgeois amber, as if filtering opium and beetles in a copper alembic. In the dry-down, that strange and unsettling flavour persists, although the vanilla becomes more commercial. Like mixing a hint of Gaultier’s disco with ‘We Have Always Lived in the Castle’ by Shirley Jackson.
Rare, dry, iodised, wild, spicy, medicinal, and liqueur-like. I tried it in a village perfumery where only three or four bottles remained; they didn’t even know it was discontinued and that it costs a fortune. For me, it’s nothing; it throws me off. It has a touch of muddled poison. It’s that 70s amber from the house, with a halogen and iodine aftertaste, as if you were crushing insects in a mortar under neon lights. It’s an original flanker, nothing to do with the sport line. It opens with a pulpy, dry sweetness, like mixing bell pepper with sawdust shavings. Then comes a fluorescent and spicy note; the curious thing is that it’s not supported by sexy or party chords. Strangely, that halogen tone illuminates old masculine notes: lavender, heather, and juniper, dry, oily, strong, natural, and sticky, with memories of bushes and desolate landscapes. Although I don’t like it, it’s amusing how well-made it is: a rare hybrid that reminds me as much of a disco perfume as of a house cut off from the world where time has stopped. It’s gothic, dark, decadent romantic, and very unsympathetic. It carries sweetness, but tipsy and dry. It has herbs, but they look formic. There’s vanilla, but it’s not sweet; it’s corrupted or wet. And it has amber, but not an oriental one with nutmeg and resins; this one is unpleasant and bourgeois, as if you were filtering copper cauldrons and labdanum with some beetle. In the dry down, the strange and unsettling flavour persists, although the vanilla becomes more commercial. Like mixing a hint of Gaultier’s disco with ‘We Have Always Lived in the Castle’ by Shirley Jackson.
What a lovely perfume; that blend of pepper and vanilla works magic without being cloying. This is proof of good craftsmanship.
What a beautiful perfume; that pepper and vanilla work magic without being cloying. A testament to a job well done.
