Prada Luna Rossa Carbon

Mostly sharp and peppery, more like cracked pepper than baking spice. Underneath that, sweet resinous warmth, soft and slightly powdery.

It opens on bergamot and pepper, moves through lavender, metallic notes and watery notes, and settles on ambroxan and patchouli.

• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does
• pepper: dry and warming, like freshly cracked black pepper

It lasts well and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
