Don’t let the name fool you, this is not an oceanic scent. Luna Rossa Eau De Parfum surprised me right from the start. It opens with this beautiful dark, spicy and slightly fresh grapefruit, mixed with amber that adds warmth and depth. It’s not your typical bright or synthetic citrus, it’s fresh but has a little edge to it, and honestly, it smells amazing! After that opening, the grapefruit settles down, the fragrance moves into a woody and incense territory, still a bit spicy. There’s something powdery and balsamic here that feels classy and smooth, like you’re discovering different layers the longer you wear it. It’s got that quiet confidence, not loud, but definitely intriguing. The drydown is my favorite part. The scent turns woody-vanillic, with a touch of sweetness that balances out the spices and woods perfectly. The vanilla isn’t too sweet, it’s elegant and masculine, just rounding everything out nicely. Performance is great, I get around 7–8 hours, and even after that, I can still smell it on my skin. The projection starts off pretty good, then becomes more intimate as it dries down. It’s not a room filler, more of a elegant skin scent that draws people in. I got this as a blind buy gift and had never smelled it before, but it ended up becoming my signature scent. I honestly love how versatile this is. You can wear it to work, school, or just every day, and it always fits. It’s clean, masculine, and easy to wear. Perfect for spring, summer, and fall, though maybe a bit too light for winter. Overall, it’s a classy, modern fragrance that doesn’t scream for attention, it just quietly impresses.

Oh boy what a fragrance! When you smell it first, you can easily think that this is just another moder and trendy ambery-vanilla perfume. But!!! If you go deeper, switch off your tik-tok brain that gets distracted every 20 seconds to a new stimulation, and get deeper into the fragrance... Oh boy... This has so much to offer So imagine that "Prada thing" combined with high tech, up to date molecules. Powdery, fresh and clean Prada accord with insanely smooth and well done ambery modern high tech base. Good God, this is crazy well done and addictive! Opening is very clean and slightly powdery. It shares the original Ocean dna. The dry down reminds me of Leyton but not that sweet and thick. It is more smooth and somehow transparent. It also shares some similarities with Code Absolu. There is a saffron accord in it that gives it slightly tobacco smell without that typical metallic tone of saffron. It is just so smoothly done. Also little bit of incense undertones but again, it is melting with the rest if the notes so smoothly... Projection and longevity are very satisfying for me. 8hrs with strong to moderate projection. Love it.

definitely a more masculine scent based on the opening, but dare i say i think its also a lovely unisex fragrance!! the delicate vanilla and grapefruit complement the fragrance blend very nicely, preventing the muskiness of the woods and incense from being overbearing. the ratio of each note's potency is very balanced, the vanilla is able to be detected even in the intensity of the wood, which is why i think it's so charming. i feel that a lot of mens fragrances tend to be so overbearing and just a musky mess which is why i find this fragrance so refreshing. considering how vanilla is often marketed as a feminine scent, i really appreciate how this perfume isn't afraid to incorporate such an exquisite scent, that is often seen as more feminine. pleeeeaaaaaseeeeee we need more vanilla in men's fragrances!! Luna rossa ocean eau de parfum is a very intense scent, like a dark and mysterious ocean with vigorous waves crashing over one another. the vanilla settles into it like seafoam, though the ocean waves don't overpower the seafoam, they flow accordingly to the tide.

The name Ocean here is a bit misleading, there isn't really a ocean-esque quality to this scent but, like other blue fragrances there's a familiarity across the entire note profile, but a uniqueness worth making room in your collection for. It opens with a burst of energetic grapefruit, perfect for a summer day, which fades fairly quick leaving behind a smooth musky vanilla base that adds a cozy and comforting touch for cooler weather, with a hint of iris amidst the smokiness of incense, reminiscent of JPG Le Male Le Parfum, that make it a perfect all around fragrance. This scent reminds me of a more sophisticated and mature version of Versace Eros EDP. Making is suitable for any occasion, whether it's a casual day out, a night at the club, or a formal event. The longevity and projection of Luna Rossa Ocean are good but not overwhelming, as expected from a EDP. 5 Sprays can easily last throughout the day without being overpowering. Overall, this is a hit and one I am glad to be giving a new home

Now, this is the Prada I’ve grown to know and love! This is what the original Prada Ocean should have been. The original tried too hard to match Dylan Blue, BDC etc.. and, in my opinion, did so unsuccessfully. Dylan Blue and BDC are much better. This flanker is deep, rich, and mesmerising! I’m very happy with this purchase an excellent blind buy! The performance is way better than the original. Projection is moderate, but longevity is quite good. Anyone within your vicinity will smell you. In other words, you’ll have a nice scent bubble around you. It’s compliment-worthy if that’s what you’re after. Luna Rossa Ocean Eau de Parfum is a worthy purchase, even if you already own the original; it wouldn’t be a superfluous purchase. For me, I’ll have to purchase a backup bottle, it’s that good. Winter is almost over here in Australia, and I’m looking forward to seeing how this performs in warmer weather. It smells as though it would shine! 10/10

I think this is fantastic in every way. I see what Prada did here, and I like it. They tried to make a fragrance that typically is worn in cooler temperatures, and formulate it to be a year round addition to the line. The vanilla and woods is usually something associated with cooler weather, but to make it a moderate projection of a classy scent, makes this a great addition to the line. This happens to be a fairly long lasting, but moderate projection, that can easily be worn to the office, or on warmer days. Maybe not super hot days, but you could certainly rock it in a reasonable warm summer day, and not have it be cloying. This is also a fairly mature frag, but could be worn by younger guys as well, but it is not a sweet monster projection frag. I'm not a fan of the new Le Parfum, but this one I think is fabulous, and I'm glad they expanded the line. Now, if we could get a new L'Homme, that would be stellar. 8.5 out of 10.

This is heavenly. I thought the EDT was amazing...this is perfection! Sweet, spicy, slightly smoky, grapefruity vanilla...everything that "Dylan Blue" should have been. This is perfectly in-between "Dylan Blue" and "Invictus Victory" and carries ALL the awesome aspects of both fragrances...this is precisely what i've been trying to make by combining various amounts of those two fragrances and yet couldn't. Prada already did it...and perfected it. OMG this is so perfect!! S-O P-E-R-F-E-C-T!! Appears to last a LOT longer than the EDT version as well. This just got bumped up into my top 5 frags...possibly of all time. I don't know what it is about "Dylan Blue" that aggravates my sinuses and makes me sneeze...but I don't think I'll be going back to it. Definitely need to schedule a backup bottle of this...wow...this smells so unbelievably good at all points in the wear. Absolute "10 out of 10" fragrance!

I love this fragrance. I know it's a designer, it's basic, it's modern. It's still great to my nose. I tend to enjoy heavy smokey, sweet frags, but it's very hard for me to enjoy lighter frags for the warmer seasons. LRO EDP has the incense, the vanilla, the wood. Beautiful frankincense and citrus blends fantastically well with the vanilla and amber, yet it's much lighter than a typical frag with these notes. This is truly a stunner, very elegant and light enough that it can be worn year round. I have over 100 frags in my collection, and this is one of maybe 3 that can be worn any time and for any occasion. It's one of my favorite dumb reaches on those days where I can't decide what to wear. Long lasting even though it sits relatively close to the skin. I highly recommend this fragrance. Can't wait to buy more since it's finally starting to trickle onto discounter sites. It's simple, but it's great.

It’s been said many times that this is not a typical “Blue” fragrance. But I’m not sure there is a rule or ingredient requirement for Blue type fragrances. This could have been called Dark Ocean and maybe make more sense. When I was in Dillards I compared the to Most wanted by night, very similar but I preferred Prada. This has a simple note breakdown and is not a linear fragrance at all, from opening to dry down it really changes. On the long hall dray down you get a woody vanilla, slightly cedar smell, that is warm and inviting. Pretty good for all year, but not recommended for really hot summer days, in air conditioning just fine. It’s not a beast, but has a nice scent trail and on me it lasts all day, over 8 hours, but becomes more intimate halfway through the day. It favors an older crowd due to the woodiness, but younger guys might enjoy this too. For me this is a solid 8 out 10.

I wear this as my daily fragrance. Lasts long 7-8 hours, doesn't project much which I enjoy for a daily wear. It smells very different from the EDT version. It is a clean, fresh scent that leans sporty and refined. I find it perfect for everyday without being overpowering. It opens with a bright crisp blend of citrus and herbal notes. By no means is this a bold perfume, it is very subtle but still gets many complements from women. That being said, this is one of the only fragrances I have yet to receive a compliment from a man. The projection is moderate and within a few hours I find it settles closer to the skin. The longevity is good, I apply once in the morning and can still smell it after 7-8 hours. One downside is that I find if I wear it before going to the gym I can almost certainly not smell if after having worked out. For a subtle daily fragrance I highly recommend it.

Living in a warmer climate, it’s a fine balance between performance and longevity. Trust me The west African heat will test your fragrance to the core. Too light and it’s fleeting too heavy and it’s cloying. Now this is where LRO Edp shines, it’s versatile enough for those constantly shuffling between two extremes during the course of the day between 16*C air conditioned spaces and the 35*C outdoor heat which is often humid. This is the typical workday for most people in this clime. Here, LRO Edp outperforms most blue frags or citrus forward frags. It’s in offensive and versatile. Great for typical air conditioned indoor work spaces, and casual outdoors, and for the cool rainy days and evenings. It becomes powdery giving off some Dior homme and Armani code type of vibes, but it’s just in its own league. Love it!

I honestly don't know how anyone could not like this fragrance, it's not super complex with a lot of notes, but the notes that are present are all of phenomenal quality and blended together so well. It starts off with a light grapefruit and vanilla, as it dries down it becomes lightly woody with amber and a touch of incense. This is an absolute winner for all seasons and occasions. I prefer this to the Bleu De Chanel line, they aren't similar on scent profile, but they are similar for the types of use cases that they suit. This is my favorite fragrance to put on when I just want something simple and relaxing, great dumb reach and my favorite on the Luna Rossa line. It's beautiful and sophisticated without being overly complex and stands out in an ocean of generic blue scents. This is honestly a 9/10 frag to me!

Picked this up over a year ago. Here are my honest thoughts A juicy grapefruit opening that smells like being underwater for 2 mins and finally coming back up to get a breath of fresh air To me though, the grapefruit fades after about 1-2 hours and the vanilla and frankincense comes out, along with the amber xtreme. So many people are saying this is too synthetic, but they are just hating old heads it smells rlly good, defo not a summer scent, any other szn it will be amazing in. LOVE this scents dry down, it smells like how I would imagine when the drums come in to smell like in 90210, or bags end in the lotr, iykyk Lasts 7-8 hours for me even during heat, lasts forever on clothes, but its mainly the vanilla and amber xtreme still coming through 9.2/10

A nice, mass appealing fragrance that gets compliments. scent breakdown - In the opening you get lightly spicy amber and a hint of grapefruit. Although it is listed as the main note in the opening, I don’t think the grapefruit is particularly strong. Any traces of it disappear after 10 minutes. As it dries down it becomes a woody, slightly spicy, slightly airy vanilla scent. The dry down is my favourite part and it smells masculine. It isn’t a very sweet vanilla, a more woody and manly take. personal thoughts - I love this. Excellent value for money and I wear it through spring and autumn. performance - I get 6-7 hours with moderate projection. rating - 8.9/10 when to wear - It is pretty versatile but I wouldn’t wear it in the deep winter or summer.

Even though I've recently been indulging in niche colognes, this bottle has become a daily-wear for me. Prada ocean is a masterpiece of a scent with one of the most versatile smells I've ever smelt. When I bought this bottle, I originally bought it to be a winter cologne but it did not take long to realize this bottle can be worn at anytime in the year. Opens up to a dark vanilla and fruity scent and dries down into a woody, grapefruit scent. I've had coworkers say they enjoy the smell from over 6 feet away, so the projection is quite high. My only issue with this cologne is the longevity being on the lower side. A couple more sprays and that problem is fixed. Overall, I give this bottle a 9.5/10.

My favorite dumb reach. This fragrance works for any scenario, any season. Shines in the heat, but warm and woody enough for the extreme cold. Opens with fresh crisp grapefruit and vanilla and settles to a beautiful wood with some light incense notes. The Amberextreme is an extremely interesting note, it's in the LRO LP too, and it gives a sensation of being by a pool of chlorinated water. This is a perfect summer fragrance for people like me that prefer sweet, dark scents and struggle to find ones they like for the warmer months. Very simple fragrance, but beautifully executed. This was my first Prada frag, and the only one I have gone through a full bottle of so far. 9/10

There is a note in this, as well as in LRO Le Parfum that can only be described as ethereal! I can't even put it into words, it's almost like it ignites something in the olfactory; a sensation more than an actual aroma. It's beautiful and faint, yet assertive. I am assuming it's the AmberExtreme. The notes over it don't need to be complex in order to deliver an indescribable euphoria I get when I smell this. There's something that's at the same time nostalgic, comfortable, and familiar, yet so different, bold, and alluring. You really need to get a few wears out of these frags to truly grasp and appreciate it. I hope other users get to have the same experience with it.

I am a huge fan of this stuff. It really surprised me at first. I think it is my favorite ocean flanker. It's sweet, a little fresh, and has a slight (but noticable, the perfect amount I think) lipstick iris thing going on like the dior hommes or Code Parfum or EDP. Such a clever and creative composition. This is a good one to smell unique and super good. I can see the comparisons to Le Male Elixir too in literally the flavor of the way it smells, but it is nowhere near as over the top. It has a classier vibe to say the least. This one should be safe for the office if you limit your sprays. I still need to try it on a few people but so far I really love it lol.

Somehow, this is a Prada DNA style fresh... gourmand. Not photo realistic gourmand but it's a clean dessert. A wearable gourmand. A good masculine warm, ambery, woody vanilla but it's not memorable. The opening is the best part so make sure you wear this on skin before a full purchase. Not sure why this is rated Summer safe, maybe in some climates but sure as shit not here in Florida. It's very sweet and warm. It reminds me of MMM Replica by the Fireplace but in a more designer, less realistic sense. or like Warm Vanilla Sugar from B&bw made masculine. Odd name. and this does NOT smell like the EDT. boring but I do love it as a masculine vanilla.
