About this deal

I tried talking myself out of buying this due to the fact I already have L’Homme & other aquatic scents that will fill my need & I don’t really need this. Well as the day went on & I continued to smell it on me I’ve decided I will buy it. It’s just a really good, simple, & well put together scent.

From a regular guy who enjoys this hobby, know enough to be a little dangerous, here is my first official review after couple years on here cause now I am not just going off other peoples takes, smells like, gave this a legit chance after sampling 2x, comparing others, not factoring in the "Consensus" on here or take any You tube person completely serious. So today I will be giving versace dreamer a wear to see how it makes me feel and to test how similiar the two fragrances really are. I enjoy the "genericness" in this which I get, but it is a quality blue generic with just enough minor tweaks I enjoy, really not redundant to anything out there at moment imo. You get an alcoholic tinge right away if you don't let it settle down before sniffing, which is justified, given that it's an EDT. On the first spray, you'll notice some bergamot hitting you right in the face, the same kind that's used in nearly all blue fragrances you've smelt before added with that fresh patchouli. This is perhaps the only thing you'll be able to sniff for the first 5 minutes and probably will make you think that this is just a disappointment.

A scent for the modern adventurer, gripped by a magnetic calling for discovery. Built on a conviction that with technology as an extension of ourselves, Luna Rossa Ocean can empower us to push ourselves beyond our limits, re-imagine what’s possible, and explore new horizons. Very well rounded and smooth scent. Just professional quality blend from Prada. This is a very soapy and fresh scent, Iris lavender bomb- with a slight sweetness from the caramel which rounds out the fragrance. I actually like the caramel note in this. If you like any of the other Prad Frags, you will like this one and for the price it is a good fragrance for anyone to own. I just pulled the trigger and glad I did. Great all-season, anytime type of blue frag but better quality and smoother than Dylan Blue (Which I love, but it's strong. not great anytime scent but close imo). Chanel Blue EDT can compete with this for a designer blue frag but for the price this is a great blue fragrance own one that does it all. Y EDP and Parfum both really sweet and strong, sage and apple is heavy on that one, kind of a nighttime in FL. For an EDT, this is great, not offensive to anyone (Point of a blue frag for me) projects the way it should for a Prada quality EDT, not going to choke out rooms, go light on trigger in summer and not too sweet or have Incense that can turn some off. Sauvage EDP and Blue Parfum for sure smell much richer, better, two best blues IMO but I can't wear them anyday, anywhere....I put this in the "Safe to wear in any situation without offending anyone, get some compliments if that is your thing, I was considering adding this by comparing it to Givenchy Gentleman Only Intense blue juice, Ralph's club parfum, Polo Blue Parfum & Dior Homme Sport, but If you have Dior Homme, Sport is reduntant, Ralphs club EDP similar to Parfum, wait for that on discount, blue Parfum good, but get that when discounted, So my point, if rambling, was this is Why I decided to grab this, I get the dislike from certain people, you do hope for a banger from Prada since they have had a few and prices are great, so they did a GOOD JOB ON THIS FRAGRANCE. Produced by Prada, Luna Rossa Ocean is a classy choice that is guaranteed to win your heart. It has been turning heads since 2021. Once referred to as toilet water, EdTs, such as this one, have a lower concentration of ethereal oils than EdPs do, ordinarily between 5-15%. Because they are lighter, they are the go-to choice for office wear. A Symphonic Composition

This is not a fragrance to judge on one wear.. This one needs to be enjoyed as you go through your day. It smells light and airy and does have sweetness; but the caramel, florals, and woody notes finally give you something different than all the other bubblegum fragrances being peddled. Lasts for the workday and is good for office wear and daytime use given how clean and smooth it smells. Been smelling this right next to BDC EDT: Very similar drydowns, but they each take their own, very interesting journey there. Since that journey is short-lived anyway, I don't think you'd need both in your collection, at least not at full price. I don’t smell anything that remotely reminds me of an ocean, but that’s not stopping me from enjoying the scent. This, to me, is more like an ocean of shower gel. All the associations that may bring fit really well to my nose. I get a strong, sharp, citrusy bergamot paired well with a fuzzy amborxan type note. It’s very familiar and very blue, yet easily achieves what it’s setting out to do, which is be an appealing, anytime fragrance. However, after about 10 minutes, you start getting this fresh linen smell, which I think is a mix of iris and lavender, smells really pleasant. Imagine a guy, just out of the shower in a clean white linen shirt just out of the laundry, this is what it smells like. It's really very pleasant. I agree that nobody does Iris better than Prada for men's fragrances. It's fresh, it's clean, it's mildly floral but not in a feminine way.

Edit: very similiar to versace dreamer- not doubt about. However, still worth the buy for several reasons: When fresh and spicy meet, they exude a nose-tingling array of complex notes that lend the wearer an energising aura. The top of this perfume includes bergamot, mugwort and pink pepper. Next middle notes of lavender, iris and saffron move in. Finally a surge of vetiver, musk and patchouli arises to complete the olfactory journey. (Vetiver, sometimes called khus, is an Indian grass similar to citronella.) Prada Fragrances: Pricing Prada Luna Rossa Ocean is a great designer quality fragrance as are all Prada fragrances. As a bonus, it comes in a beautiful bottle presentation that will look great on anyone's collection. For me this scent lingers in the very powdery clean laundry room basket zone much too long for me to give it wear. It's just not for me. I get what they were going with regarding the marketing material. Jake Gyllenhaal getting drenched with a cold rain, the scene behind him a dark grey/blue hue. They knew it was a cold scent, too. Though, a better name would've been Prada Luna Rossa Rainfall or Mist or something else rain-related instead of Ocean. Doesn't really bring to the table many accords that bring an ocean to mind. Instead, I envision the fuzzy, warm glow that radiates during a thunderous storm as you travel through the weather. I also imagine the flame of a scorching day snuffed as one takes a bracing plunge into floral-laced waters. The beauty is that it is such a fluid scent that it can really go both ways.
