I own both Prada Luna Rossa Black and Bvlgari Black. They have some similarities in their character but the Prada is definitely not a clone. While BB is great, I think the Prada is a bit better scent, longer lasting, and has an even more heavenly drydown. One of the best designers from the last couple years in my opinion.. It's not nearly as close to BB as you're making it sound in this review...Anyway it's all subjective, but it's good to hear your take on it.
@nelly197420126 жыл бұрын
I have both as well and also midnight in paris. I think Prada smells pretty damn close to both of those. But more like Bulgari. I dont think he over did it in this review. But it could just be your skin. Everyone's skin reacts differently to the chemicals in the frags.

To me, Prada Lunna Rossa Black is the classiest fragrance next to Dior Homme. Believe it. I never tried Bvlgari Black because the smell of rubber gives me an instant headache so I have nothing to compare it to.
@michaelmcdonald98476 жыл бұрын
I feel like it would smell a lot more like the Bvlgari if you own the Bvlgari and wear it all the time. I just have the decant that I won from your video, and comparing them side by side I don’t think that the Prada is a clone. Similar aspects, but not the same thing. The Bvlgari smells way more similar to Midnight in Paris in my opinion. Great video!

I love this fragrance as bvlgari black doesn't last on me one bit. Its a bit more complex and lasts forever. In the designer realm everything is recycled. You learn to thin the heard and pick the best of the best.

@joneasley50502 жыл бұрын
Hi Sabastian your right. They would be redundant if your not a collector. But, for me Bvlgari Black wears smooth on my skin to were as Prada Luna Rosa Black has a more musky feel that I enjoy also. Bvlgari Black wins for me. Oh yeah, Bvlgari Black is not what it was in the 90's but it still has legs. Imo Bvlgari Black launch batch would not be redundant because of the rubberish experience was more prominent.
@paulchambers22967 ай бұрын
Loved Bulgari Black, was my daily wear. I have Prada Luna Rossa Black but find it less impressive! Smoother than BB and not quite the same, less projection, less longevity, in fact I could hardly smell the fragrance at all but now having left the bottle for a year it has improved a little.

I wish I knew more about fragrances because I have no idea how something that smells of rubber or burnt rubber could be appealing. Does the perfumer think they've got the iris, lavender and citrus and then think 'this needs more car tire?
@steliosc.46866 жыл бұрын
Sebastian. I saw this review and immediately i went to my local fragrance store to see if they had this. And they did. Im a huge fan o Bvlgari Black but i cant find it anywhere. Even on line its hard. And yes it is discontinued. So i was expecting a house to release something similar. Well. Yes this reminds of B. Black in the opening but thats it. The drydown is very different. So im guessing this review is based on the opening.? The rubbery note isnt enough to really smell like B.b but i do get the similarities. Anw i bought it cause i believe its a good release on its own. All the best.
@maxtesti44436 жыл бұрын
I've never smelled BB, but I love Prada LRB. It's a great release. It's sweet, smooth, soft... I'm definitely gonna wear it in cold seasons. I think they took BB and sort of modernizing it? Let's put it this way, if it wasn't for Prada LRB I would've never known about BB.

@ThePerfumeGuy6 жыл бұрын
8 hours? Damn! I will test it in high heat. Haven't had the high heat yet here it's been pretty cool which is a blessing as I can't stand the heat! Maybe Bvlgari Black has been reformulated further yet from when I bought it 2/3 years ago. Midnight In Paris is great yes but I find it less similar to this than Bvlgari Black.

yes brother.bvlgari black was severely toned down,new ones are so so so weak its ridiculous,but this baby right here projects on me and my gf like from good 10 feet away even after 5 hours mark...but i guess its gonna be amazing for colder nights, something about luna rossa sport , made me fall in love with the black, i was very lucky to get such performance, the smell is sensual, and prada never makes any unpleasant smell :) but i always respect your takes, i skipped the new guerlain darker one because of your review....made me a lil sad because i had high hopes for that :(

Hey Sebastian great review! I have a sample of this and I find the scent to be similar to Le Male, I have a reformulated version, on my skin but it lasted a lot longer and is a bit sweeter. Lavender isn't officially listed from what I've seen but I do detect it on my skin. I've yet to smell Bvlgari Black, but I do like the performance of this scent and may pick up a bottle when it cools down here in OKC.

Great review Seb! You are right, when I smelled this I thought I had smelled it before. When you told me that it smells like Bvlgari Black, I sprayed Luna Rossa Black and Midnight in Paris (since I heard it smells alot like BB) side by side. They are really similar! MIP is a bit smoother though, but yeah LRB is definitely redundant.
@c.bailey14585 жыл бұрын
I’m one of those who is baffled by the claims of extreme similarity between these two. Perhaps because of my idiosyncratic nose, or the formulation of BB that I have, I find BB’s rubber note to be definitive. As a result, I like PLRB well enough but can’t tolerate BB. I suspect I may be more sensitive to the rubber note than some, but, even so, I find the experience of wearing these two to be quite different.
