What Reddit owners say
5/5“Personally, I love Luna Rossa Carbon EDT. I actually bought the EDP version, but I still ended up going back to the EDT. For some reason, the EDT just works better on my skin. I honestly can't explain why, but there's something about it that just suits me more.”
5/5 Fresh & cleanValue“achess are so overpriced but damn that edition blanche is nice, i got a decant once and it was so fresh but still classy for me blind buy was prada luna rossa carbon, smelled it in the store after and was relieved i didn't mess up lol. discontinued i miss is gucci pour homme ii, that tea note was beautiful and nobody does it like that anymore”

Not rated (no clear sentiment) WinterFall“For warmer autumn days, I have Prada Luna Rossa Carbon ready, and for autumn/winter, Layton is my go-to 😅”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“Initio Musk Therapy was one that I liked at first, then decided didn't work for me. Prada Luna Rossa Carbon is something I was “eh” on at first, but months later I tried it on again and while it for months straight.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“Prada Luna Rossa Carbon on my skin is nuclear warfare. Doesn't even smell like a perfume, just a weird metallic industrial pepper scent.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“Prada luna rossa carbon edt, it was the first fragrance i got growing up back in 2017 and while the scent profile isn't anything special in general, it's extremely nostalgic to me.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“It has a nice twist of everything actually (Dior Sauvage EDP (prominent DNA), a bit of Sauvage elixir, with some similarity to Prada Luna Rossa carbon as well) I don't smell any Creed Aventus although many people do especially in the opening, but I'd say you could confidently blind buy this.”
