💸 Luna Rossa Extreme by Prada | Unboxing Series 🎁 CLEAN / VANILLIC / DARK

[@xoPRECISEox]

Now this fragrance is awesome, the best Prada ever released hands down. This type of sweetness is way better then D&G luminous "headache" night. I wish they'd bring this fragrance back! :(

[@xoPRECISEox]

Also, Prada Black is nowhere close to as good as Prada Luna Rossa Extreme. Prada Black smells like an weird old lady version Bulgari Black.

[@baysidedlove3427]

Prada Amber Pour Homme is one of my top 5 fragrances Godfather!! I believe I commented on your older review of Prada Amber Pour Homme? I just recently bought 2 bottles of it at a mom and Pop fragrance store inside the Great Mall here in San Jose CA. I paid about 150.00 for 2 bottles and I'm so happy I have enough of this wonderful purple 💜 juice to last me for a while. However I do like Prada Luna Rosa EDP and I know it's nothing mind blowing but I must admit I like it🤷🏾.

[@robes08]

It's solid, have you smelt infusion dhomme or Amber pour homme?

[@xoPRECISEox]

The only infusion I smelt was the Fig one which I didn't like. They discontinued alot of those Infusion a long time ago so I couldn't get my nose on them. I had Amber Pour homme but I'm not a fan, too powdery for me. I had Amber Intense which I liked more than APH and Tom Ford Noir. Luna Rossa Extreme was the best one Prada I've smelt so far. I prefer masculine scents, and this is the most masculine from Prada. I actually wore this in both the cold and high heat and it worked. Luna Rossa Sport smells the most similar but doesn't have those spices in it, which kinda made it smell like baby wipes. 😂

[@antmatteo]

I have this sealed and can’t get myself to open it but you’re tempting me! Prada Luna Rossa Black is actually really nice. Comforting powder musk and amber. One of my favs

[@jlog23]

open it and enjoy it brother!

[@jeffjamjeff6669]

I like that you review discontinued scents. Your review of infusion Dhomme got me to purchase it back in 2015 after seeing your review. Patience is the key to find the right price

[@robes08]

Appreciate it my friend. Infusion is still such a gem.

[@JonathanIsrael708]

I blind bought a bottle of this a few years ago, because of reading all the hype time and time again. Paid $105 for a 1.7oz. No regret.

[@robes08]

Looks like we did the exact same thing, paid about the same. I'm happy with it as well.

[@pascalpaquette6564]

Salut Marc! Laisse faire toute les chialeux. Continue exactement comme tu fais. J'adore que tu parles de parfum discontinué. Sa m'as donné une raison de sortir ma vieille bouteille des Prada Extrême. Keep it up buddy. Much Love from Gatineau QC

[@robes08]

Merci mon ami! On a eu un peu de neige hier, l'hiver est ici!

Haven't tried this, always wanted to. Prada Luna Ross Black is incredible and the best from the line.

[@robes08]

I keep seeing good things about it, guess it's next on the list!

Rob, you are my favourite reviewer since you started. You are a genuine fragrance lover with great experience. Keep up the good work. This bottle I have 3 of them 😅 I was skeptical it would get discontinued and it did. Good professional scent, dumb reach and any weather. Beauty!!

[@The105967]

Good job on the unboxing Marc. Always looking to hear your honest opinion. Ill be looking forward to hear your opinion on Luna Rosa Black. Keep the good job., 👍

[@robes08]

Appreciate it! Now on to the Luna Rossa Black!

[@FantasticScents]

Marc i appreciate your channel and your contribution to the community keep it up! Never tried but if i can get my hands on it i will!!

[@robes08]

I appreciate that!

[@houseman7315]

Solid line. I've got the Luna Rossa Sport which is like a Juniper heavy LeMale alternative, really enjoy it.

[@robes08]

Is that one discontinued now or still available?

[@houseman7315]

@@robes08 Marc its still easy to find fortunately.

[@samyyyyyyy]

The Luna Rossa line is hit or miss - Black is my favorite, really reminds me of Midnight in Paris - Extreme for me is meh, its a little spicy with that lavender and vanilla, nothing special. You're videos have helped me out a ton Marc, I'm constantly on the hunt for rare and discontinued frags an you're one of the first channels I go to for good information 💯

[@robes08]

Appreciate you! Thank you for the comment and I think I'll go with Black next as if it reminds you of MIP it would mean that we have a winner.

[@viggenone]

I know a lot of people love the line, not my cup of tea. Thanks for the Unboxing Marc!!!

[@robes08]

I felt the same as you, this didn't sell me on the line as something to really check out but this one was solid which surprised me.

[@DjaNbg]

OMG! Where did you get it? My favorite from the Luna Rossa line. Wore it so often 10 years ago. Still holding on to like 5ml that I have left.

[@robes08]

[@brenlynch4811]

Cheers Marc, I only got one from the line the OG edt, a little 50 ml sprayed once and well ,it sits in its box now unused for 4 years, love my Amber extreme a lot,cheers buddy have a great day ✌️🙏👍

[@robes08]

Have a great day Bren!

[@wazzabanzook5028]

My bottle was from 2016 and smelt very spicy borderline smoky, I had to check online wether it had tobacco in it

[@robes08]

I'll be looking out for that portion, it did darken after I shut the video off but it was more labdanum heavy to my nose.

[@wazzabanzook5028]

@@robes08 maybe it’s that, your the fragrance Guru not me 😅

[@mrmonday42]

I've been looking for this one for a few yrs now. You were lucky to find it for that price. Definitely check out Black, it's a good dumb reach

[@robes08]

Yea I think Black will be next, an easy transition into the line as the 2nd bottle. I felt it was a good price when I saw it, happy I snatched it up when I did.

[@eldeefitty4473]

I got my first 3.5oz bottle for $59 on Amazon in 2016 as my signature, second one from a random Canadian fragrance store in Dec 2019 for $115 once I realized it was discontinued. It gets about 6 pumps a year lol

[@chrishunt112]

Well done mate

[@robes08]

💪 thanks!

[@MrGoodsalesman]

I own this, was lucky went to a store in Hamilton and they had it.

[@robes08]

was it a little mom and pop shop? They usually have so many discontinued gems.

[@MrGoodsalesman]

@@robes08 yes it in Jackson Square. I got M7 tester and Dior homme vintage the silver one. Also Fahrenheit absolute.

[@shaunleonard3878]

I’ve been trying to find this fragrance (AT A REASONABLE PRICE) for years! I’ve smelt it and want it, but not for $300 to $500.

[@robes08]

same here but I wasen't really looking and this one just fell on my lap lol

[@ChasingGiants23]

Luna Rosa Black is backup bottle worthy for me. I use my Black as a work fragrance and are smashing through my first bottle

[@robes08]

Oh rly? Well that's good news!

[@razvanyke]

My friend, keep in mind that Prada was purchased by L´Oreal from PUIG. Back in the day, when they were made in Spain, it was another story. Good review !

[@robes08]

Politics.

[@palamandre]

You should give Luna Rosaa line another chance, namely LR Black and Sport both in the sweet soapy realm.

[@j.4610]

Hello, I just discovered your channel and I gotta say I appreciate your honesty and the way you describe fragrances. I'm a young guy just getting into neiche and actual quality designer fragrances. I think its a really cool hobby but it's hard to find a good scent thats worth the price tag in such a saturated market, trends, and hype and questionable reviewers. I respect your fragrance opinions though so would you ever consider making a video showing what colognes work well in certain seasons?

[@robes08]

I have some in the past that you check out, I haven't done one in a few years but you can see what I'd recommend in the past videos.

[@ryanjilek6305]

I never tried Luna Rossa Extreme, but I do own a bottle of the EDT and the Sport. I'm surprised that you didn't like Luna Rossa EDT, I think it works pretty well for hot & humid weather. I usually think of a citrus focused scent for muggy Summer days, I really like having a lavender scent as an alternative option. As for the Luna Rossa Sport; I don't love it, but I don't hate it either. The "Sport" name confuses me. I think the only reason I haven't given it away is because I occasionally get the rare complement, which I really don't understand how.

[@robes08]

Granted I smelled the EDT years ago, first launched and I think it had a different bottle design as well. It just didn't smell up to the quality of previous Prada that I smelled.

[@ammaralsadoon-i5v]

Please revisit Luna Rosa original. I think you might change your mind. The rest of line, I agree with you 100%. Thank you for your awesome review.

[@robes08]

No problem, and yes eventually I will check it out. We will see!

[@boogiedaddy3434]

I haven't tried many Prada scents. I fell for the hype a long time ago and got the Luna Rossa Carbon. It's meh.. just a generic shower gel-ish scent. I do like the little hit of licorice/anise, but it's gone in mere moments. I have L'homme Intense as well. Now that one I really like. I need to get Amber pour Homme. Fragbuy gets some in randomly at times still at decent prices. Might just go for it.

[@robes08]

I highly recommend Amber Pour Homme and the Intense of it if you can find it.

[@baysidedlove3427]

Bought 2 Prada Amber Pour Homme fragrances just to make sure I don't run out of it anytime soon. Got them at a off brand perfume shop at the Great Mall in San Jose CA for 74.00 apiece. One of the best clean, classy, fresh fragrances I've ever smelled plus I have some essential oils inspired by the fragrance to go with it!! That's how much I love that fragrance ❣️❣️. Great review as always Godfather 🙏🏾

[@robes08]

Great price for that gem! Great snag, makes me want a backup actually.

[@ripster8766]

I’ve been really liking the le parfum. I guess it’s nothing super special but for a woody Amber scent it’s right up my alley

[@robes08]

Thanks for sharing! Good to know as well

[@iam_ismell]

*UnAverage Joe hold this one in high regard - it’s definitely one that I want to try* 🔥🔥

[@robes08]

You should!

[@mohammedmahameed9082]

Hi brother, Amy chance of reviewing the New 2024 Reformulated version of ADG PARFUM? (It comes with a magnetic cap and GIORGIO ARMANI writing on the bottom of the bottle). People say it's near identical to Profumo! I would be super happy to see your review about it!

[@robes08]

at some point in my journey yes, I do not have the bottle as of today.

[@GingerSpice37]

Never tried Luna Rossa Extreme but I agree the Luna Rossa line is Prada's weakest. I feel like it's the brands attempt to be more mainstream and appeal to a wider audience. It's unfortunate they never released more flankers in the Amber line. Now the L'Homme line is pretty much dead too. I've tried most Luna Rossa flankers but haven't purchased any. Last year was Luna Rossa Ocean EDP. They used this new amber xtreme note and I wasn't impressed. It felt very synthetic. Nothing like the original Prada Amber and Amber intense. This year is Luna Rossa Ocean Parfum and once again the Amber xtreme note is back. Prada does best when they stay in their lane.

[@robes08]

Agreed 💯 with this comment. 👌

[@chronicdesign876scentplugj4]

That is it, it's not about what's hyped or hot or current.

[@uha01]

Serious question, other than "collecting" what's the point of keeping so many juices? Do they expire? Do the notes change with time? personally I have experience degradation of some notes in a couple of years sadly.

[@robes08]

Some may expire, some with proper storage can last decades.

[@uha01]

@@robes08 Good to know.Thanks for the reply!

It's not pretty lol, I've been hitting that pile of scents since my return and it seems it's not going down. 😅

[@mohsinchoudhury85]

got two 50 mls stashed away from 5+ years ago. one for £85 and the other I paid 100. my advice, don't be spending 250+. I've seen it selling for them prices. don't. just don't. and the problem with L'Oréal when they get their hands on anything, is that they just discontinue or reformulate everything. you got a few from the Prada and Armani lines, gone or reformulated. YSL Opium EDP, gone. Opium edt you can barely find now. then these the Valentino uomo line. and the mens mugler line is none existent, I think all that's left now is alien man. you know you got problems when L'Oréal get their hands on anything.

[@robes08]

Sadly, you have a point.

[@BozCobra]

Most of Luna Rossa line is dull and overhyped by influencers. I only own Ocean and it was a discount blind buy-meh, just alright but I hardly ever wear it.

[@ericj3331]

Its the best of the line for sure, black is pretty good as well but you got much higher standard than me in terms of fragrances so you might not like it 😅

[@The_Fuzz1]

I hate modern designers with a passion, but I'm a huge fan of Prada.

[@robes08]

I felt it took an old vanilla and lavender recipe from the Le Male days, it def. was not a modern foggy vanilla. It brought me back.

[@Mr.Cologne]

I never seen this fragrance

[@robes08]

she's an older release back in 2013 and then started to slowly leave the market in mid 2017.

Appreciate that you take my thoughts seriously when buying. Yes, this community is no longer a community if you ask me.

[@serpentbourn138]

Another vanillic designer? You don't say!?

[@xoPRECISEox]

It's not a vanilla like fragrances released today, it's a 1990's style vanilla. I wish Robes08 would give CH Bad Boy Extreme a chance, because it's the only decent recent release.

[@n._scents]

Way more interesting than a simple vanilla, there is a nice pepperiness and it's more light and airy than sweet

[@xoPRECISEox]

@@n._scents Yes I agree, it's definitely a spicy and more masculine version of the original le male.

[@robes08]

Like someone said it's more of an old school vanilla which I prefer.

[@justaddlight]

Three years in a box!! 😱🤣 Patience of a saint. Or Marc-ed aloofness. 😂 But this is why I tune in. Difficult to top your objectivity. Unofficially, English Laundry's Arrogant is a great take on Luna Rossa Sport which definitely takes a page out of the Le Male lavender-vanilla playbook, and also a guilty pleasure of mine. 🤫 Extreme was always my #1 though. Not a fan of the OG Luna Rossa or Eau Sport and Black and Carbon are only so-so on me. Ocean and its sweet woody amber flankers can go 🤬 some 🤬 in the 🤬. 🤣 I'm not blaming L'Oreal but........I don't know how to finish that sentence. Cheerio? 🥣

If I didn't have the youtube channel, all those would be opened. I enjoy doing that initial real thought unboxing something.
