Luna Rossa Cologne Sport

It revolves mainly around six timeless ingredients reinterpreted for the occasion with profound modernity and an extreme sense of innovation.

The history of Luna Rossa by Prada

Before being a fragrance, Luna Rossa was the name of a boat, and not just any boat. It is the prestigious catamaran entered by Prada in the America's Cup since 2000. Accordingly, it is all the values of this top-level race that are found in this fragrance. It is a juice with a level of demand as high as that of this sailing competition, one of the most coveted on the planet. Luna Rossa Eau Sport is a fragrance that pays tribute to the dedication of its participants and draws inspiration from the feats of engineering, mental strength and athletic power required to meet this challenge. The first version of Luna Rossa appeared in 2012. It was then a fairly classic, woody masculine fougère built around lavender. Then, a year later, in 2013, this juice transformed into Luna Rossa Eau Extrême, extending its original accord of freshness and then warming it with vanilla and labdanum. In 2015, Luna Rossa was also declined into a Sport version, making its lavender more effervescent and pairing it with ginger and juniper berries. Nevertheless, the most energizing of these fragrances remains the most recent one, Luna Rossa Eau Sport from 2016.

The unmatched dynamism of Luna Rossa Eau Sport

Luna Rossa Eau Sport is a citrus and aromatic fragrance that only heightens its earlier burst of dynamism. To achieve this, it relies on a fairly simple formula containing six major ingredients worked in a very contemporary way. It opens with a citrus duo of citron and bergamot. This displays a tangy, sparkling character without tipping too far into bitterness. Then, its heart takes up an initial lavender accord, an iconic ingredient in masculine perfumery that evokes, for many, the bygone scent of barbershop soap. Here it is lightly spiced with ginger, a raw material celebrated for its freshness and its aphrodisiac qualities. It would thus seem that the Luna Rossa Eau Sport man is not content with simply being an athlete. He also proves to be quite the seducer. Finally, he asserts his masculinity through a woody base of cedar. Ambergris, for its part, further reinforces the animalic quality of the whole while making it richer and more syrupy. As for the bottle, Luna Rossa Eau Sport largely takes up the aesthetic of its predecessors. This whole case has a very masculine build. Tinted in chrome gray, white and red, it displays a very contemporary design whose Prada band almost calls to mind a finish line.
