Luna Rossa Ocean Cologne

Caramel will rest in the base of this aquatic, Prada Luna Rossa Ocean Cologne, and the effect is quietly remarkable, bergamot, pink pepper and artemisia lending the top a bitter, green character, the artemisia adding a herbal sharpness with no sweetness anywhere. Lavender, iris, sage, suede and saffron form the centre, cool and powdery with the suede lending a soft leather texture beneath the herbs. Musk, caramel, Haitian vetiver and patchouli finish it warm and earthy. Twelve notes, and only one of them is sweet. That caramel is doing something subtle rather than gourmand, adding a faint sweetness under the vetiver that stops the dry down from turning entirely austere and mineral. Prada built Luna Rossa Ocean Cologne as an aromatic gourmand Eau de Toilette with understated daytime confidence in mind. Luna Rossa Ocean Cologne is easy to love and easier to keep reaching for.
