Description
Description
Prada Luna Rossa Carbon is a clean metallic-aromatic for men that takes the familiar fresh "blue" formula and gives it real edge and texture.
Created by perfumer Daniela Andrier for the Italian house of Prada and launched in 2017, it pairs bright bergamot and pepper with cool metallic and coal facets over a warm ambroxan-patchouli base. Reviewers describe it as a polished, office-friendly scent that stands apart from typical aquatics thanks to its distinctive mineral, almost "sparking flint" character.
Scent Character
- Woody — 44%
- Fresh — 22%
- Spicy — 11%
- Floral — 11%
- Smoky-Resinous — 11%
Translation: a woody-fresh core, lifted by peppery spice and a soft lavender floral touch, grounded by a smoky, mineral coal-and-metal facet that gives Carbon its signature edge.

Performance
Longevity: Moderate-to-good — expect roughly 5 hours of solid presence, then a close skin scent for several hours after. Strong for an Eau de Toilette.
Sillage: Moderate — noticeable in your immediate space without overwhelming a room.
Projection: Pushes pleasantly for the first few hours before settling close to the skin. A reliable, considerate office performer rather than a beast-mode projector.

FAQ
Is this the same as the original Luna Rossa?
No — Carbon is its own flanker. It keeps the fresh Luna Rossa spirit but adds distinctive metallic and coal notes for a darker, more textured feel.
Is Luna Rossa Carbon good for the office?
Yes. Its moderate sillage and clean, polished character make it one of the more office-appropriate fresh fragrances.
How long will a 5 mL decant last?
A 5 mL decant gives roughly 50–60 sprays — enough for several weeks of regular wear, perfect for a proper test run.
Are your decants authentic?
Absolutely. Each decant is hand-filled from a genuine, authorized-distributor bottle of Prada Luna Rossa Carbon.
