Description
Adventure-seeking in new look, reflected in new notes! The house of Prada enriched their attractive men’s collection Luna Rossa with a new edition Luna Rossa Eau Sport which arrives in spring 2016 and conveys the excitement and challenges of extreme sailing. The essence of the new composition relies on the original concept and is constructed out of six key notes this time. The goal was to convey the skills of men competing with nature.
The composition opens with an energizing union of bergamot and cedrat which, with their luminous chords, enrich aromatic lavender and tart ginger in the heart of the fragrance. Dynamics of ginger and citrus melts into aromas of gray amber and cedar, characterizing the base of the composition.
Fragrance Luna Rossa Eau Sport follows design of the Luna Rossa collection and repeats the shape of Luna Rossa Sport edition from 2015, placing a transparent glass part on the new flacon above the white massive base. The central part of the flacon features a bright red stripe with Prada logo. The fragrance can be obtained as a 75ml and 125ml Eau de Toilette.

Husband has an aftershave called “Dare original”. He never uses it, just for disinfecting acne (once in 2 months..). This super cheap aftershave smells exactly like Luna Rossa Eau Sport. I have a sample of Prada’s perfume, and after smelling it, we were both like: “we have something exactly like this”. And it was that Dare original after shave, which is about 10-15 years old and costed $3-5 for a big bottle, but still smells super sexy. Because Luna Rossa Eau Sport is a really sexy one too. I will buy it sooner or later, but if you just want the same thing for beans, Dare original is as good as Prada as a perfume, because I can smell it after 5-6+ hours. I know, it’s not a perfume, but you can use it like that.

Put on 20 sprays in the shop – can hardly smell it. Nice all the same 😉

Fresh and citrusy with lavender mixed in, which makes for a great summer scent. Has a sporty, light, fresh-out-of-the-shower scent that errs on the masculine side, but this could still pass as a unisex. Compared to the other fragrances from the Luna Rossa line, this is the most versatile and suitable for everyday.

First wearing today, 25 degree celcius outside. In the range of two hours i already got three compliments 🙂
That never happend wearing the original Luna Rossa. The original is fresh but this is on a whole other level. Spring/summer in a bottle.
This is the real Sportflanker from Prada. Prada Luna Rossa Sport is great but I rather use it when the weather cools down a bit, in the fall. If you can get your hands on Luna Rossa eau sport, dont hesitate!
ruslan999 – :
Amazing longevity, similar to the original, but I prefer the original. Both fragrances tend to “grate” on me after a while.
vitnev2011 – :
This is pretty similar to the original Luna Rossa but lighter with the orange replaced by citron. Add some ginger too and you get a sportier version. This actually reminds me of the original Dior Homme Sport (not the new one). I swear I can detect Iris in this though it’s not listed. It is a weaker version but that’s expected with sport. You cannot possibly offend anyone wearing this, if you love the Prada line like me then this is a must add to your colllection..

I think the Luna Rossa line is quite underrated, scentwise.
This is beautiful and exquisite! I have to update my review but it’s good, albeit seems to be weaker side.
denteedia – :
Simple and beautiful. An extra spray or two easily makes up for any lack of performance, lasting about 7 hours with good projection on my skin with only 2 sprays to the back of my forearm.

Ive toyed with the idea of maybe buying this but didn’t bother to pull the trigger because it hasn’t really grabbed me enough but that could change in the future. Has a slightly sweetish soapy vibe with a nice smooth ambergris dry down. Nice clean and airy scent with a woody backbone.. Its just hit me now that this is a much fresher version of Mont Blanc legend intense IMO. Not so.much from the top notes but when it starts to mellow.out.. This doesn’t have that strong musk and isn’t as fruity sweet though and I like this more since its lighter and more airy. I get a melonish vibe in the mont Blanc and can smell it in this one as well when its dried.down. This ones a nice onr for the summer and is fairly inoffensive, could be a great option especially if you dig that fierce,legend DNA..im.curious to know if people get that same vibe and if you have smelt legend intense and fierce and then compare them.to this as well. Also i don’t really like comparing fragrances but i guess it helps give a better idea sometimes. nothing worse IMO than hearing someone tell you that said fragrance is like ” a bit of this,with a bit of that and half of that mixed with a quarter of that” you get my point.
Haundaafferve – :
Perfect dumb-reach for summer. Light, inoffensive, pleasant and enjoyable for you and those around you.
vgrushko – :
WOW I love this fragrance. It is softly sexy and fills the room with a gentle beautiful scent. It is one of the best mens fragrances and I hope it will not be discontinued anytime soon

Just a second quickie review here due to the fact I purchased this scent after Christmas when the gift sets are sold off cheap.
Wearing this today I’m actually becoming more of a fan, Eau Sport is extremely fresh without being overly brash or intrusive.
Fragrantica doesn’t state the nose but as far as I know Andrier and Prada haven’t parted company so I suspect it’s her work and frankly it screams her clean, classy style.
It does have elements of the modern which I smell everywhere but Eau Sport is so much more reserved that it allows you to enjoy the experience, without being bombarded.
malushka – :
I dont know why but this fragrance has a huge huge projection on my skin..I can smell it stronger than tuscan leather by Tom Ford,I dont understand that but I like it…one of the best summer fragrances and with longevity and projection like this.wwoooow..I put only one spray on my wrist and after 6 hours that was still everywhere 3 feet radius around me…I got a compliment on it after 6 hours I sprayed it…..BEST of LUNA ROSSA collection..definitely
NeraStim – :
Smell 3/10
Longevity 6/10
Projection 4/10 after 1.5h ir becomes skin scent
Bottle desing 8,5/10
Citrus and levander. Nothing more nothing less. A sour scent..just that, nothing pleasant and nothing wow.
imikhaltsov – :
Smell 10 out of 10
Projection 2 out of 10
Longevity 2 out of 10
Like the entire Prada Luna Rossa line this stuff smells amazing but give me a fricken break with the projection and longevity. ugh I’m so pissed this doesn’t have more protection because it smells fantastic, an office scent nothing more. Unless you don’t mind spraying this 10 times so someone actually notices I’d pass.
wik777 – :
Wore this for the second time today. Nice scent but performance is not the best.I got no more than 4 hours with it, with not much projection. I prefer the original over this.
5.5/10
gorizon – :
Almost the same scent as Luna Rosa, only without amber and with less longevity- 3+ hours
Леша1976 – :
Summery fresh scent with a nice citrus opening and a strong soapy base. The citrus opening lasts one hour max, and it’s a soap bomb for the duration of the scent. It’s a very clean soap, a natural soap, not bad at all. If you want a quality soapy, then this is the one for you.
sas123 – :
Okay so in terms of the Luna Rossa line this is the least like the others but subsequently the most like many other fragrances out there. So it’s ‘generic’ then? Well…no. I’d say more like ‘mildly derivative’ because Eau sport does have it’s good points.
It manages to be truly fresh and lightweight but still had pretty good performance. I think if it hadn’t have been light I’d have had a problem with it.
The opening is what contains the most of the Luna Rossa original or Sport vibes for me a kind of salty, citrus with a hint of lavender but crucially no white floral or mint. (second time I tried it and you do get mint) Then as it settles it really relaxes into a sweeter fruity, bergamot maybe with a hint of ginger which smells very familiar. I actually thought it smelled like Toy by Moschino which has a very nice citrus vibe which comes across very real.
The base of this fragrance is a white musk and hint of ambroxan which I like and serves to propel the citrus and make it long lasting. Ambergris in eau sport would account for the apparent slightly, sea breeze vibes & saltiness you get from Creed citrus fragrances which also apparently contain ambergris.
All in all I’ve smelled it before and even though I’m challenged somewhat by Luna Rossa and Sport (not counting Extreme which is more of an oriental) because they are interesting but this is just a bit of a departure. I think the over all smell is nice and the quality is there, for example I compared it to Toy earlier which I think is much cheaper smelling if I’m honest. Another thing I like about this is that it’s not intrusive, it’s not weak but it doesn’t cloy or catch the back of your throat. Eau Sport would be welcome relief compared to some other designer releases that young men insist on dousing themselves in for a night out.
Not bad stuff but not as well conceived as the Original Luna Rossa.
Update: Having tried this again I’d say it’s a nice bergamot, citrus woody mixed with minty lavender. A perfect mixture of the classic ‘blue’ aquatic fragrances like Azzaro Chrome given as a smells like suggestion and works just fine, with the signature salty, minty, lavender of the original Luna Rossa.

I like this stuff a lot. Perfect for the hot summer days. It stays on you all day but it’s a light and bright one that you may not smell but other people will. It has a nice punch of ginger, along with the obvious citrus that everyone is talking about. I had. This on yesterday and my wife said “I don’t know what you’re wearing but I want you to wear it everyday from now on.” Yeah… Not going to happen, but that’s what she said.
nuiacsov90 – :
not for me. only citrus covering lavender and all other notes. sillage very soft. excellent longevity. scent that does not innovate anything. 2/10
boring.
Nerelubbilt – :
I smelt this and immediately bought it. In my opinion. Masterpiece. This is the perfect summer scent for night time. Projection, longevity, sillage all killer on me.
Well done Prada. This will be a classic.
10/10
Клерик – :
Really reminds me of Chrome. I really liked Chrome back in the day but not sure about how I feel about this retread
deestAlidge – :
This is not for you who like to wear a sharp, strong citrus smell that enters the room before you do.
It’s summery, light, interesting, not overpowering.
For you who don’t need to scream to get noticed, confident that your good taste and quality will show.
boris3110 – :
Great blend between the citrus and lavender. I agree with @bigbz saying that it’s very fresh and airy. The citrus is not over piercing, or the lavender too heavy. Instead they leave behind a very subtle and seductive trail, which i would describe as casual yet elegant.
For me, it’s a versatile spring/summer winner among the overload of fresh citrus we already have around.
After testing it twice, i can say performance is quite satisfying, I got decent projection for 3 hours and afterwards, up to 6 more hours as a skin scent.

Been spending the last few days with this frag….and here are my first thoughts. Yes, FINALLY a Prada Luna Rossa I will wear! I’ve owned/sampled the entire LR line. And honestly none of them really struck a chord with me. They were all pleasant enough, just not my style. Thought the original LR Sport might be a winner upon first spray, but quickly found it irritating and too strong/overbearing with that LR soapy lavender smell of the original IMO.
This flanker of a flanker is really nice though! A much fresher and airier scent, with just the right amount of that soapy lavender note in the dry-down. Very well balanced composition, with a nod to the original Sport. Still not sure about longevity or projection yet. Nowhere near are strong as original Sport and I’m ok with that as it seems to hold it’s own still. But on scent alone, this is a winner in my book. I can see where those are coming from who have compared this to a better/upscale/modern Chrome/CK One type scent. Update to come….
5/16 update-The hot weather hasn’t hit here yet, but….longevity and projection are definitely on the weak side with this one. Nice scent, but I think for a ’16 spring/summer scent I’ll be using L’Homme Ultime much more.
igor – :
But isn’t that boring? Where is the 80’s where each fragrance had its own character and aroma. This trend is going for far too many years Especially with summer releases.
