The listed components of Prada’s latest perfume, Luna Rossa Sport, read much like the ingredients of an artfully described cocktail. One served at Bar Luce, perhaps, Miuccia’s own watering hole, or other such upscale establishments. There’s explosive ginger. Juniper berry. Tobacco-inflected vanilla. Masculine lavender. Tonka bean. Miuccia wanted Luna Rossa Sport to remind of the emotions a man feels on the eve of his greatest challenge – by which she means a boat race, or similar life-amending achievements. The more sedate of us should not be put off by these allusions to activity; this is a scent that is just as suitable for everyday wear. However, if you had been engaging in a particularly sweat-producing session at the gym, let’s say, a spritz of Luna Rossa Sport would be a much appreciated addition to your person. An Italian shower, if you like.
