Prada Luna Rossa Sport Notes Breakdown

Prada Luna Rossa Sport opens with Ginger and Juniper Berries — the first impression as it hits the skin. Once that burns off, usually inside the first half hour, the heart turns to Lavender. Hours in, what remains is the foundation: Tonka Bean, Vanilla, Heliotrope and Musk.

Value (7/10): Pricing at around $75 feels appropriate for what you get — neither a bargain nor an overreach.
