Luna Rossa Ocean Eau de Parfum, from Prada was released in 2023. The perfumer behind this creation is unknown. It has the top notes of Grapefruit, middle notes of Olibanum (Frankincense) and Woody Notes, and base notes of Amber Xtreme and Vanilla.
Unfortunately another disappointing, unimaginative and boring release from Prada. Luna Rossa Ocean EDP opens with the same headache inducing bergamot and pink pepper overload, alongside synthetic sweetness from grapefruit and ‘florals’. It smells generic and similar to 90% of designer releases these days. The base is comprised of a synthetic Amber accord, with vanilla and woods to create a stereotypical ‘masculine’ scent. It’s not an unpleasant fragrance, and I’m sure much of the general public will enjoy it, but personally I find it uninspiring and devoid of any interesting qualities. Prada used to release some fantastic scents with high quality ingredients and creativity, but in recent years seemed to have lost their way and jumped onto the synthetically-sweet Invictus style bandwagon that most designer brands copy. Very disappointing.
