PRADA LUNA ROSSA SPORT was created by perfumer Daniela (Roche) Andrier who created numerous Prada editions, fragrances of the La Gemme collection by Bvlgari as well as the latest tea fragrance Eau Parfumee au The Bleu, fragrances by Marni, Bottega Veneta, etc. The perfume opens with tart-citrusy ginger blended with aromatic flavors of juniper berries. The heart of the fragrance is enriched with lavender, while the base is warmed with vanilla and tonka. If I were to describe it to a friend in one sentence it would go as follows: It is a clean, sweet, powdery scent that is masculine enough.

I've always liked the smell of Le Male on others, but there was always something about it that kept me from wearing it, something sharp and green (maybe the mint, but it didn't seem like mint). So when I first smelled this I dismissed it as a copy and assumed that I wouldn't like it. When it comes to age factor I believe this will be best suited for 26+ as its not that playful like Eros, AHSEE, etc. But age is just a number if you love it then who cares. It has a smoothness and magnetism that will get others attention. Once it has completed its passage from beginning to end, the vanilla is intense. If you are not a fan of powdery vanilla, it might be a bit much.Longevity: 9/10 (After the initial two hours, it comes closer to the skin for another three hours. Stays a skin-scent for a good five more hours) Still each to his or her own I suppose and if you're spraying this on your body then your nose is the only nose that matters, unless you're only after compliments from others of course. I dont own this, but I do own an older formulation of the original Luna Rossa. Ive only smelled this on another person, a complete stranger. Copier repairman actually had this on in our office and I could smell this wonderful, familiar scent filling one corner of our small office. Walked to the corridor to see a repair guy pleasantly smelling up the place. He has repaired our crappy copier many times and always wears this scent. as a man I had to casually ask him in my contrived macho voice what he was wearing. After revealing luna rossa sport I immediately drew the comparison to the original Luna Rossa but fresher, lighter, a slight twist, but just as aromatic.

UPDATE: The more I wear this fragrance, the more I love it. The soapy Lavender is a work of art and I love wearing it after a shower at night. Prada produces the best soapy smelling fragrances on the market. I use to like it, now I love it. I'm a big fan of Prada's house. When this came out in 2015 I tested it on strip and dismissed it. I thought to myself "Daniela Andrier, why would you go in this direction?". It seemed incredibly basic and generic and to me it didn't have the clean DNA that the Amber and L'homme line had. I'm not pretending to understand all the notes or if they share similarities in that department but they simply smell nothing like each other...at all. Recently I been into layering fragrances and I use this one as a vanilla base for other fragrances. Say example I hate the smell of Cool water Intense due to coconut smell as it reminds me of grocery shop so tried mixing these both in a decant and its was good. Now I get Cool Water with Vanilla and hint of lavender. ;)Upon first blush, anyone who owns or likes JPG Le Male will have an “Aha” moment with this fragrance. To my nose it is Le Male to all the individual that posted here, but I prefer this to Le Male it has the Le Male DNA Initially, I wasn't too impressed by the performance of the fragrance, but believe me, you can become blind to the fragrance and it's still there. I get 7-8 hours in longevity. Not as The soapy lavender is subtly, sophisticated, and mature with a strong touch of masculinity. Great as a day scent, out of the shower because it's not overpowering in any way, and good for an office/work environment. You can wear this as an all-year rounder, but personally not in the summer. If so, go easy on the sprays.

Update- I own the entire Luna Rossa line now, and not only is this one my favorite, it’s in my top 5 favorite fragrances. I didn’t like the sweet vanilla-ish vibe at first, only because I was expecting something more fresh/citrus, being called “sport” and all. I’m reality, this scent IMO blends everything I LOVE about the Luna Rossa line and puts it all into one scent. I literally can spray this for any occasion, anytime, anywhere, it just works. All the other frags in my top 5 tend to have a very specific time and place for when they’re appropriate to wear, and this is easily the most versatile. It’s clean, crisp, but warm and cozy, and it’s just very uplifting and happy scent for me. Longevity is good, projection is good as well, it’s not loud and in your face but not subtle and disappearing either. Perfection!!

All in all, it’s a compliment getter that can be worn in just about any season and most occasions. I would even wear it to the office, but with just a couple of sprays. It’s not offensive or cloying, but a little will go a long way in that type of environment. It’s got great staying power, as good as any. Disregard claims that it doesn’t last…must have gone “nose-blind”. I could tell he was an over sprayer but I didnt mind cause this is a fresh masculine scent. I will get me a bottle once I run out of luna rossa cause it would be redundant for me to own both. They are too similar.

At first spray I thought this is decent, nothing special. So I didnt buy it. But I kept catching whiffs walking around the mall and after like a hour or so the scent changed completely. I was now WOWED. Cant really describe what I thought at first cause i wasnt digging it to much so I kinda wrote it off as I wasnt interested. Then that classic prada clean scent shined, the lavender, and then the base notes. The base notes with the lavender is where this scent shines. One word to describe this I would have to say "amazing". This is signature scent worthy in my honest opinion and it may end up being mine. This is a scent I dont hear much about and I believe it's highly underrated. As I keep bringing my hand up to smell cause it's to me a skin scent but others around me say they can still smell me and I only sprayed twice almost 7 hours ago. Never did i think that this would last as long as it has so far. I thought at max 3 maybe 4 hours cause they threw "sport" into its name. This is not a sport scent and it's very misleading, to me. If I washed it off like I wanted after spraying it on I would of never bought this. The magic is in the dry down and you just got to be patient to let this scent work its magic. In Le Male the vanilla is very prominent, which makes the fragrance very sweet and more suited for the fall/winter. In PLRS the lavender is the main note to my nose. Luna Rossa Sport also smells very spicy, even though ginger is the only spice listed. but is more sattle. Again Luna Sport has that love and hate relationship in the fragrance community. But to me I like the scent and is not unique, but is wearable on all occasions and seasons for me. And at no point during this wearing has the fragrance smelled bad- from opening to dry down, the scent is perfectly pleasant. So Le Male is more of a sweet, smooth warm fragrance, where LRS is more a more soapy, spicy, masculin and grown up. The differences are huge.LM comes across as a younger, louder clubbing fragrance, for the younger user but LR Sport to me is more mature and refined with lots to offer and nothing to prove. When I tried it again a couple months ago I realized that it was more than just a copy. While it's similar, this one is smoother and more balanced, a little bit better suited to younger people. I'm completely comfortable wearing this day or night, though I probably won't be wearing it much in the summer.
