Description
Prada introduces a new masculine fragrance in Sept 2012, named after the sailboat and the sailing team “Red Moon” or Luna Rossa, which participates in the American Cup competitions. The new fragrance, considering its name, draws its inspiration from the world of extreme sailing, prestige, marine nature and passion for innovation and victory.
The composition is developed around the main note of lavender by perfumer Daniela Andrier of Givaudan. Intensity and freshness of accords are emphasized by the use of classical notes in new, innovative ways. Those notes include lavender absolute and bitter orange in the top, clary sage and spearmint in the heart, and ambrette absolute and ambroxan molecule in the base.
Bottle design is inspired by modern sailboats, signed by Yves Behar. The fragrance is available as 50, 100 and 150 ml Eau de Toilette.
The nose behind this fragrance is Daniela (Roche) Andrier.

The smell reminds me of glue. Not very great, but I give it a like. 5,7/10

There are some simple joys in life, and for me spraying Luna Rossa on after a shower is certainly one of them
sha1tan_udm – :
Great fragrance…unique, fresh easy to wear and extremely pleasant.
Емвигич – :
There’s NOTHING synthetic about this fragrance. The end!Fresh smooth mint.
Berdnik – :
Enough said, my 5 year old nephew, said “Whoa that smells good, can I have it Uncle C”. So now he’s ready, kindergarten/1st grade fresh. As for me, if you wont to be distinctively fresh, Go buy it. A very good designer scent.
dimm1383 – :
Good soapy sweet scent
The open of the fragrance is great, it so fresh and soapy on my skin , after a hour it dry down to warmer sweet scent and keep the freshness as background. I don’t know why, the fragrance reminded me of ” Le Male ” particularly for the dry down.
Scent 7.5/10 ( Unique for open but dry down to the same as Le Male DNA )
Performance 7/10
It a good choice on the market if you looking for sweet fragrance that works on the summer, it fresh enough and sweet but not cloying as Le Male.
diodayKaw – :
Smells like Fig by Marc Jacobs but a weaker version, though slightly more complex, but at a much bigger price tag.
FilFile – :
A different take on ‘fresh’. The spearmint is gentle but refreshing, like cool air blowing into you and invigorating your senses.
TaspBipliedia – :
Fresh citrus, lavender and amber. Smells amazing and is not overpowering, its a good scent to wear to work or school everyday.

Second review:
Forget the initial spray and the top notes, ten minutes and you will experience one of the most relaxing simple clean gentlemenly scents available. Beautiful Cool fresh slightly sweet ambery drydown.
Excellent fragrance.
Makusu – :
My sons signature scent. He always smells amazing , clean and fresh out of the shower. Prada scents are so well done . Better than all those niche scents out there. I am so over them and always come back to the minimalist ,classy clean scents like this one. I bought my son so many over the last 7 years and this is his favouurte and most complimented fragrance. I have to agree. Soooooo good!!!
001uin – :
when i first got this and smelled it i really loved it, but as time goes on i dont think that it is anything special, feels a little generic to me. its very sharp when i first spray it. and with my chemistry the dry down reminds me of like the smell of baby powder almost. like its very powdery on my skin.
vikklu – :
For me it’s similar to Mercedes Benz Sport, but with mint. I find this one better, but costs 2-3 times more.
minskov.sanya – :
To me, this smells like a flowered backyard garden after the rain. I absolutely love it. It’s one of those fragrances that I like to spray at night(mostly in spring/summer) after my shower simply because I want to smell something I greatly enjoy.
Михаил Михаилович – :
This garners more compliments than the majority of my colognes. Enough said.
viper63 – :
Azzaro Chrome – synthetic quality + mint= Luna Rossa. Great light citrusy daytime scent. Good for office or casual use.
kazak-gol – :
It’s very pleasing and nice cologne. The orange note makes this scent very clean and fresh, and lavender chord adds the masculinity to the whole composition. Can be rocked all year round, but has the most amazing effect during the springtime. I’ve also gotten some solid compliments wearing this. And another undeniable positive side of Luna Rossa is versatility. This perfume with equal success can be worn by both a teenager, and a young specialist, and a serious man. Overall 7,5/10.
kotyara – :
Very interesting scent ! It’s very simple but at the same time different and unique. This opening is very nice as it has a bright,citrusy opening with sage making this smell like a lemon & Sage body wash I tried at a nice hotel a while back. Once this dries down I start to get the lavender and mint making this slightly more aromatic, and soapy. The drydown is pretty much the same but in the drydown the citrus and mint are pushed to the back and what your left is a powdery,lavender,musky soap type of scent.
This is a great fragrance if you like soapy scents or if you like or want fragrances that smell like luxurious soap or body wash or a scent that will make you smell pleasant without driving to much attention to yourself. My girlfriend did like this when I wore it and when I applied this she said “Wow,the room air freshener is really popping andsmells really good today” I then asked her if it was my fragrances I had just applied it and once she got close she immediately said YES it sure is but that fragrance smells like the room freshener. ( Which was a gain laundry scented plug in) After that she said I do smell good but it’s weird that I smell like the room freshener.lol
Performance— Great work scent as it lasts 5-8 hours but only has average projection but the Sillage and scent bubble are noticeable but not loud or offensive.
Overall rating — 7.5 out of 10 ! Decent casual or work scent and this is my 2nd favorite Prada fragrance with Luna Rossa Sport being my favorite!
I have a feeling that women that love fresh/clean/citrusy scents will love this fragrance !
tolyan2109 – :
On my skin, it has a synthetic smell of freshly ironed sheets and/or slightly scorched plastic. Very dry and no sweetness or any organic smell at all. Interesting… but definitely a pass, thank you. On clothes, it might be doable (fresh clothes from the factory), but on skin, it is just plain weird. Maybe if I’d stretch my imagination a bit, I could make an association with the ozonic smell of freshly tanned skin, but then again, wearing this, I could imagine myself being a mannequin as well.
(Although Dior Sauvage is not my cup of tea, I prefer its alternative version — Luna Rossa Carbon — to the original Luna Rossa, since Carbon has an overall friendlier vibe with some sweetness and sourness from ambroxan, and the metallic notes are more stylish than this plasticky thing.)
rolexreplica77483 – :
@biff2 you are absolutely correct. This is one of those I always smelled when I went into my local Macy’s or Belk, always really loved it, but never pulled the trigger to buy a bottle until a few months ago. Bear in mind every tester I smelled was the original bottle design, NOT the solid silver bottle with red stripe vertical down the middle. But the one I bought was the latter. I thought the exact same thing you described. The newer bottle didn’t smell near as strong (not that Luna Rossa was a loud scent anyway) and had more of a synthetic-y alcohol opening with my bottle having more of a light citrus/lavender smell with only a slight hint of the mint, that quickly all faded down to a close skin scent, rather than the smell I remember, which opened a lot more fresh and even naturally, with a nice crisp and fresh blend of citrus/lavender/mint that dried down to a nice clean scent with just a hint of sweetness (I assume from the amber/ambroxan?)
Anyway, I totally get what you mean. I assume when they changed the bottle design there may have been a reformulation occur. I was lucky enough to spot a 1.7 oz. of the original box while in my local Walgreens and jumped on it. The box is different too, so you can tell which it is. Smells just like the testers I remembered. I’ve also seen them on rare occasion still at Sephora stores or Ulta if you happen to be in one of those.

Imagine a well groomed man, short beard, wearing a suit with a tie, tall figure, eyes that light up a room, he has confidence, he’s extremely handsome, his smile captures hearts.
This may sound funny, but I once knew a Lawyer, and he totally fits the description.
He always smelt soooo dam good, I held back a couple times from asking him what perfume he had on haha! I gave in once and asked him, he actually froze and for a good couple seconds he was in shock, he smirked and giggled saying “Luna rossa” and I was like “huh”… He scratched his head & continued “OH PRADA”..
I told him how nice he smelt. His eyes lit up, he kind of blushed. A lawyer who blushes right? Well this one did;)
All I can say is this smells very sexy, alluring, definitely an attractive scent.
10/10
fliemiUlcella – :
Ive changed my tune one this one recently. Ive always liked this frag but I reckon they reformulated it a while back. I have the plain silver top bottle and it doesn’t seem as stronger or long lasting than the others I’ve sampled since taking an intial interest in it. I seem to get more lavender in mine aswell which after a while becomes really boring and sickly giving off that generic soap vibe. Can anyone confirm if the stripey top bottle is a newer version or not? Other versions I’ve tried seem to carry more ambroxan and musk.
Mehdo614intitytek – :
I sprayed it on me and the first impression was like: have I just washed my skin in wasching machine? I smell so clean, soft and gentle.
It’s refreshing but not fresh in your face kind of a scent. It smells white: lovely mint, lavender and ambroxan. I see a guy wearing blue jeans shorts and white shirt in summer when smelling this.
Certainly one of the most original fresh/soapy clean kind of scents I have ever sampled.
To me 7/10.
xfe681speagoessenda – :
I love this stuff, was going to buy it a while back but carbon jumped in and stole the show. I’m looking for a new work juice and this a clean, crisp and refreshing fragrance that just works. Can’t really say why I like it but I do. One thing I really enjoy about this frag is how the Drydown just gets deeper and continues to evolve throughout the day, it just keeps clinging on giving you a reminder every now and then that it’s still there. Even when you go to bed its still working overtime to keep you fresh. Awesome stuff!
8.2/10
phossexpesild – :
Prada Luna Rossa is a fragrance caught in between. Formal yet casual. Wear it at the gym, and you’d smell “overdressed.” Wear it for an evening date, and you’d smell “underdressed.” That said, it’s a fragrance that can be worn all throughout the day. It won’t make a statement. But it will keep you smelling fresh from morning ‘til night. It’s that scent which doesn’t give you a character—it’s you who should give this fragrance its character.
As for performance, I apply one spray on skin and another one on clothes on some days I go to gym or work at home. Four days later, even though other clothes I had used were applied with other fragrances in my wardrobe, I still smell my laundry pile exuding that fresh scent of Luna Rossa. Lavender mostly. With something that my nose recognizes as a balanced blend of mint and orange.
From first sniff to this date, I cannot shake the connection between this fragrance and the character of Lorenzo Bertelli. Mrs. Prada’s son. Had anyone else noticed that the Luna Rossa and Linea Rossa line’s iconic red-and-white representation is present in a number of high-end sporting events? I feel that Mrs. Prada came up with this line as a tribute to her son. A rally driver who injured his leg for playing football. Yet in rally driving, people bash him for not meeting their expectation of excellence. Apparently, Lorenzo does the many things he wants to do right now without giving a damn. Yet maybe one day, he’ll also become the uncertain heir of a multibillion dollar fashion empire. A laidback man who obsesses with sports wearing a strict Prada suit. And smelling like Prada Luna Rossa.
jenyar1 – :
In a word, masterpiece. This fragrance does not fit a specific category because it’s unusual. Jeremy Fragrance said he did not like it because it does not fit a specific genre. I submit to you that this is exactly why it is a masterpiece. This fragrance opens with a sharp citrus and lavender and blends into a minty, amber with an almost light vanilla smelling base. But it is so smoothly blended that you cannot define specific notes. It is young, yet sophisticated. It’s fresh, yet the amber gives it a hint of sweetness. This fragrance is very classy. The sport version has been compared to Le Male and I agree with that. This fragrance has the same DNA and I almost get a faint amber vanilla in the base. It is so good. This is a fresh fragrance because of the lavender. Lavender fragrances are usually very generic and clean, but the amber and the mint in this make it stand out. I would rate this fragrance at the very top of all my fresh fragrances. This fragrance is pure quality. Contrary to most reviews, I find this fragrance to have excellent projection with average longevity. It’s the perfect everyday work scent or casual playful daytime scent. It’s perfect for summer and spring, mostly casual but it is quality. Women love it because it’s so smooth.
I would rate this overall at 9/10
Projection 8/10
Longevity 7/10
Smell itself 9/10

I want to rob a 18 wheeler packed with this juice.

Thats how strongly I feel about this clean crisp Banga’.

To me, it smells like it has cinnamon in it. Its a good unique smell, better than the typical aquatic or pepper colognes.
BladeMix – :
Nobody beats Prada when it comes to gentlemen soapy cleanness fragrances.
I have Luna Rossa Extreme and always hated the peppery sour mess in the opening and hated waiting to reach the classy soapy drydown.
The original Luna Rossa gives me the extremes drydown immediately. Cold clean elegance. So pure, No pepper, no vanilla.
Call it so simple, generic, ordinary, .. etc. it is meant to be this way and it is best in class.
user9061 – :
Such an odd fragrance. At first I was not impressed at all. I kept a bunch of cards that I sprayed from the store I visited and smelled them throughout the day. I could not stop smelling the card with Luna Rossa.
I tested this again at a store and liked the smell but was not overly impressed. I also have a sample of the sport version and yesterday wanted to give it a chance again and for some reason missed the smell and needed to smell it so I put it on for no reason at night just to smell it(I prefer this over the sport version but only had the sport version as a sample).
Then today I went back to a store and sprayed this on my hand and am still smelling it throughout the day trying to understand why I like it.
It is very odd because the fragrance is not amazing(or is it???). To sum it up overall Luna Rossa smells similar to baby powder, lipstick, or a makeup drawer…but something about it. It is not too overpowering or feminine, there is a freshness to it and some sort of natural scent to the fragrance that I can not put my finger on. And although it has similarities to baby powder it also has some sort of natural subtle aroma that is unmistakable.
Some here say it is an aphrodisiac type of fragrance for them. Somehow I understand that. It smells like…being naked(maybe the fresh neutral quality to it). It reminds me of laying in bed with a woman in the morning who has stayed all night and there is no need for clothes. A slightly sweaty(in a good way) but beautiful smell of a clean body you want to be close to. It is so hard to explain…one reviewer said she feels like she is ovulating when she smells this though aha so maybe other people have a hard time explaining too.
This is not strong at all for me. It is so subtle. It says ‘stay close to me’ not ‘here I am!’. This would work for a signature scent because it smells so natural. If fragrances are meant to evoke this sort of mystique that cannot be explained then I have to give this one a 9/10 simply because I am drawn to it like no other fragrance right now.

I recently bought it for my father, who’s rather selective and he loved it. Not a generic scent, warm and mysterious, I think he’ll stick to this one.
naruto2017 – :
Luna Rossa is an absolute lavender bomb. It has the typical soapy and fresh quality that we all know Prada for. I think it is quite masculine smelling as well. I really notice the citrus, mint, and lavender in this one. This fragrance is also incredibly modern smelling. It is very versatile, non offensive, and classy. You can wear this anytime and any age of guy could wear this easily. Performance and projection are average. The lavender gives the fragrance a barbershop like quality but it lacks the old school smell of many of the classic barbershop type fragrances. To me, Luna Rossa is a modern take on a barbershop fragrance and a good one at that. It’s not going to be the best fragrance for every situation but it is a very good all rounder. You can’t go wrong with this one.
puskanma – :
Good, mystic scent, but not outstanding. Soft, safe, calm, a little bit unisex, but hasn’t got any power… The opening is blast of lavender with a hint of bitter orange, but 30 mins later all the sillage and power gone, and become a skin close scent. Interesting to smell the mint as a mid note, but works well with the clary sage…The base is intresting too, strange and very unique.. The combination of ambrette and ambroxan smells ozonic and a bit milky… Smells great, so I like it, but unfortunately not worth the money… If it would be cheaper or has a better sillage, this will be great…
– classy summer, daytime scent
– sillage is very poor, longevity is average, 5-6 hours
– safe blind buy
Scent (open, top-mid): 8.5/10 (x2)
Scent (drydown, base): 8.5/10 (x2)
Sillage: 4/10
Longevity: 5.5/10
Uniqueness: 7/10
Versatility: 7/10
Total: 7.188/10

I also own the three flankers, Sport, Carbon and the perfection that is Extreme. They all have their own uniqueness and stand on their own. There are no redundant buys with those three. But what about the mother of them all?
Well Luna Rossa is different from them all. It’s light, it’s fresh, it’s a burnt orange burst that settles to a beautiful ambery warmth. My nose also detects a peppery vibe, though not listed, in its top notes but doesn’t play a prominent part later. This is definitely a summer/spring fragrance, which rounds off the collection. Sport and Carbon are all rounders and Extreme is a cold weather beast. To be honest, this scent could work all year round.
Like all of them, because of their uniqueness, don’t blind buy this. Well actually the exception is Carbon, which is Prada’s take on Sauvage but less in your face and a touch of sophistication. So if you like Sauvage, then Carbon is a safe bet.
This scent isn’t a projection monster, but more subtle in its approach, so a great office scent.
Having said all that. It’s my least favourite of the Luna Rossa line that I have, but I still love it.
Upon dry down, you can smell the Luna Rossa DNA found in the other flankers. It’s true scent doesn’t come to the fore until 30 minutes after first spray. Also, this is a fragrance that needs to be on the skin rather than on a shirt, it needs the chemical interaction on skin to shine. Don’t judge it on a test strip.
павел2607 – :
Women constantly compliment me when wearing this. I know it’s not the manliest smell. It may not have all the gasoline, dirt, motor oil, car exhaust that all these egotistical guys wear and swear that ladies love. But just try to step away from your ego once in a while and just appreciate a nice clean crisp scent. Trust me, women prefer this on a gentleman.
patrikus23-93 – :
My wife likes it but I keep getting whiffs of hairspray as I wear it. It’s mostly a clean smell but not fresh like an aquatic. Would not purchase.
farmacevt72 – :
Very strong soap open, probably because of the lavender. The sage sinks into the lavender, creating this super aroma that is much better than either of them alone. The orange and mint are just barely there, you have to sniff for them. It doesn’t really evolve, just strong lavender soap for its duration.
Smells softer on my skin than on t-shirt, where it smells more acrid and less complex.
A straightforward and simple composition. If I were blind sniffing, I would say this is a women’s scent or what it most smells like, a luxury soap. I strongly dislike soapy and lavender heavy scents, so I am glad I got this in a sample and not a blind buy of a larger quantity.
Would probably do okay in warmer weather, especially spring. It’s not musky, spicy, woodsy, or amber radiant enough for the winter.
koresh25 – :
Luna Rossa is a Very Crisp white t shirt with hints of lavender and citrus notes. Super clean and inoffensive. All the counter women at Sams Club smiled about how wonderful this one smelled.
hert – :
Nice clean/soapy scent. Reminds me of a very rich persons shower soap lol… kinda like a barber shop fragrance. i like it tho. Very interesting, unique.
10/10
lexa406 – :
I agree with tessture below – this is that rare citrus scent that is sweet and interesting enough to be a cool-weather choice.
It is very much a citrus scent, but one with good sweetness from the amber, and a touch of musk from the ambrette (light touch musk, I love the soft musk that ambrette/muskmallow brings).
On the drydown it winds up citrusy, yet powdery – I really enjoyed it and haven’t smelled that combination too often. I could see this as an evening warm weather scent and a very versatile cool weather scent.
Vasulij2007 – :
Luna Rossa Prada for men simply nothing special at all , the extreme edition is much better.
Gypeurgepay – :
Oddly warm, almost gourmand. Smells hot somehow. Rather pleasant, might be a great winter scent
radiogubitel – :
Blind buy, pretty happy about that one.
Very soapy and i got a little bit of lavender too.
I agree with the reviews saying you smell very clean like you just took a shower with Luna Rossa.
Projection : about 2 hours with 3 sprays on my neck and on my chest
Longevity : quite good, stayed on my wrist even after taking a shower ! 12h+
Overal : not very exciting ok, but casual, versatile and non offensive. Better for spring days

Lovely perfume. Smooth, floral, soapy & fresh. Longevity and silage moderate to good. A really good Summer men’s juice.
qwertt – :
I bought this because I liked the way it smelled on me while I used a sample at the Bay. I bought this over the weekend and was kinda let down. The smell lasts about 2 hours at best, and the silage is poor. If you catch me within that 2 hour mark though, its a nice smelling cologne. I personally like the Prada La Luna Sport cologne more.

yes It is true I’ve seen it And I thought it is a new flanker
they change the bottle design it has no longer Stripes

just gut me the new prada l’homme and as always very happy

I’ve always loved this scent. Recently they rebranded the bottle and design, and usually that goes along with a reformulation, does anyone know if this is true? I received a sample and i think its even better than the original, but can’t confirm its any different

Sometimes, on this site, I wonder if people actually wear the fragrances they review. Id really like to see more reviews where people mention Im wearing this or not wearing that and why that is. So, Im going to do it myself.
Im making my top 5 list of fragrances I wore much less last year and then I will do a top 5 list of fragrances I wore the most.
#4 on my list of fragrances that dropped in usage is:
4. Luna Rossa by Prada
I actually like this one. But frankly, I just like Herb Man by Dame Perfumery better. They are both different and have their own character. But when I think of a Lavender Sage fragrance, I just want to wear Herb Man over this one. There is nothing wrong with Luna Rossa. I like it. But it just got sent to the bench by a better fragrance. I wore it a few times mostly at night. But I pulled Herb Man probably 20 times as much as this one. So #4 on my fragrances worn less in 2016 list goes to Prada Luna Rossa. Its a worthy fragrance. But it rides the pine pony and sits on the bench for me. Yeah I wear it. But the Dame fragrance is the one I usually would rather wear.
mnmnmnmn2009 – :
I love this stuff.
The mint here is refreshing, sweet and crisp.
the lavender is not remotely overpowering and instead tempers the other notes into a nicely rounded chorus by adding some herbal/floral sweetness.
This has a resounding coolness and is very pleasant to breathe in, deeply.
Overall (and very simply put), it’s a sweet, minty, woody, clean scent.
I actually won a bottle of this in a competition hosted by a fragrance shop and I gifted it to my (male) best friend.
Then, I wound up liking it so much that I purchased him a backup bottle too!
I don’t agree with comparisons to the Infusion range! Not in the least! If ANYTHING, I might place this scent in a category with the Acqua di Gioia range (for women, but perfectly unisex) by Armani… Some of which also share this MOJITO style freshness.
This boasts excellent staying power/tenacity, even when applied with a light hand, and moderate projection.
world30rus – :
Picked up a tester of this and am testing for the first time tonight.
1/2 hr in and jury’s out, initial impressions were of Boss Bottled which I am not fond of because of its ubiquity and blandness.
This has a bit more too it though and I keep sniffing my arm and think it could be a grower….Will use the other half of the tester tomorrow for work and come back and update…..
Having used this for 2 days now, it’s very ordinary and my first impressions of a Boss Bottled similarity still remain. Nothing offensive and if I was bought it as a gift I’d probably use it, but won’t be buying this as it’s just a bit bland and generic.
k0303 – :
A very nice scent, in fact I thought I liked the flankers more, LR sport and extreme, but damn I’m glad I came back to this one. Literally everyone of the Luna Rossa colognes is a total hit, just a gorgeous smell and easily blind buy worthy (save extreme).
The only one I recommend against is the new LR sport Eau, projection is worthless, I think you need to spray it 10 times for anyone to notice. But the original LR, sport, and extreme are complete hits and belong as my signature line of cologne.
I love the powdery fresh feel all the LRs have, unlike many colognes 4 hours later you still love smelling yourself (and others love smelling you too). From my experience I’ve garnered good compliments with all 3 in the line. Extreme might be leading in compliment category but I think it’s only due to the fact it’s bolder than the other two.
You can’t go wrong with this line at all. I suggest… original Luna Ross’s all year, sport spring summer, and Extreme winter fall
robert123 – :
I sampled it instore, because if I buy a fragrance for my husband it must be something I really like.
My benchmark for men’s cologne is Dior’s Eau Sauvage for any citrus style fragrance. I also wanted something “softer”, less “sharp” for him, apart from the Hummmer, and Dior’s Farenheit.
Sampled Luna Rossa instore on my wrist, it lasted til arrived home some time later, fragrance had changed by then, loved it. Husband loved it. Lasted for hours.
I wore it to a girls’ lunch, one friend asked What’s that new perfume? I told her the Mens’ Prada Luna Rossa, she said A Man’s fragrance?! as if I’d committed a sin and shocked her…she said I must get some for my husband. She’s not game to wear it herself. But I do, as a change from the pretty Dior florals and Guerlain orientals, it’s terrific for a change, very fresh.
I am sorry to read that some reviewers who also cannot spell the words they try to write (does everybody need to rely on spellcheck these days? Apparently so…) do not like it on themselves – we all love different fragrances (not “frags”) so there’s room for all. p.s. what’s a frag, not a word.

Tried a sample, it is very pleasant, but nauseating as it’s all I can smell and I just sprayed some on my neck.
volodumur_d89 – :
It’s fresh and clean. Not very distinctive but don’t let that take away from its very pleasant smell. Projection is nothing to rave about but if used for the workplace it’s perfect. My girlfriend seems to love it but I think that’s mainly due to the overbearing scents in recent times. I would buy again as it’s absolutely fine as a day to day wear. Just don’t buy it in hope to be your signature scent. If I could describe this scent in one sentence it would be “Clean with a little coolness thrown in”. Lasts around 6 hours with low projection with 3 – 4 sprays. Its just nice. Nice doesn’t bag all the women but it also doesn’t offend and gives people a good impression of you.
Verdict: 7/10
AntoreyDencor – :
There is something calm, sober and classy about this thing. The top modern time fougere. Easy, refreshing, clean, absolutely bright and inoffensive. I just feel good and right whenever i reach for it. Never heard about anybody complaining about this scent and its my most complimented designer fragrance on top of it.
вася123456789 – :
I go back and forth with this one. I seem to wear it more in the fall and winter. When i need a fresh smell that people can smell but isn’t strong this is the one. now it stays on a long time and gets a lot of compliments. I get bored with it because i have so many fragrances but right now being October i have been wearing it and loving it again. Great for work, the store, and the park. That’s wear i get noticed with it the most.
fredka240686 – :
As someone who isn’t a fan of mint or sage, and is on the fence about heavy lavender, I definitely didn’t expect to like this one so much! The opening is very aromatic with the lavender and orange, and then it turns herbaceous, but in a light, almost creamy way. The base is the best part, all of the components blend together beautifully, I think that all of the listed notes can be identified fairly well. It ends up being a very clean (not quite soapy), creamy, and fresh blend that is very comforting.
I think that this is appropriate for anyone, it works best during spring days, but can stand up to just about anything really well. I get really good projection (for a fresh designer scent), but instead of it really becoming a skin scent, it just disappears after 5 or 6 hours. For the price, I think this is one of the best values that one can get on a pleasant, fresh scent.

Rassia – :
I could never understand why people say this is a hot weather scent, on my skin I get a synthetic spicy accord for most of the life of this fragrance, which leads my mind to believe the scent is better for fall. I suppose I’ve just never been a fan of spicy scents in the warm months.
