Autumn can come
Another addendum to a Prada fragrance from the Luna Rossa range. I've owned this fragrance for a year now and this one deserves a comment as well. Like most Pradas, this one does (rightly) very well. The Luna Rossa range is, after all, rather playful and clearly more casual than many others. Prada has two great ranges with Luna Rossa and for the ladies the Candy range, which is a bit more mainstream. Ms. Andrier also manages this really well and convinces all along the line. I like the entire Luna Rossa line, though I only own the Sport and this Black. The Sport is my favorite. It goes towards Le Male but 100% a feel-good scent for me. But close behind in 2nd place is the Black, which I also really like.
Released in 2018, it now has a really good reputation and already a small fanbase. Like so many brands jump on the Black bandwagon. Here it succeeds. With Black I associate a fragrance that you can wear well in the dark hours of the day. When the days get shorter or just at night. Here you get a great scent that I see most likely to transition, but also wear well in the winter. I wore this scent last night and it was a scent that accompanies great, never gets too heavy and still comes through well in mild temperatures. Autumn weather just.
The star of this fragrance is definitely coumarin. This note gives this fragrance a warm, sweet and slightly herbaceous touch. This note is in the foreground throughout the entire course and thus provides a warming vibe without really becoming too heavy. Even though the sillage is quite good this DNA never gets too overpowering even with generous dosing. There is also a patchouli note which adds a gloomy touch and agrees with the black concept. Spicy amber is also present, especially towards the end. Overall, a great fragrance that comes along sweet-spicy-warm with light herbaceous-powdery approaches. Very coherent, harmonious and never 0-8-15. The fragrance is also never too well-behaved, would also not fit a black concept. Who expects the very big course here will be disappointed. Most Pradas don't have that, which I find really good. But is a matter of taste.
The durability is really good, as actually all Pradas I have tested. Some here have rated this one not so good, but with me very satisfactory. Durability is double digits with good sillage, which is extremely long present. Sometimes I think it's gone and then all of a sudden a strong breeze comes. Should be tested on the back of the hand, because sometimes you get smell-blind.
Overall a great fragrance that you can always wear at dark times of the year. A safe bank that is sure to bring in some compliments. If you are still looking for a sweet and spicy fragrance for fall and don't know this one yet: give it a try. A dark fragrance with a lot of style and sex appeal.
