Launched in 2015, Prada Luna Rossa Sport is a fragrance that captures the spirit of the Prada Luna Rossa sailing team: a blend of high performance, precision, and sleek modernity. Perfumer Daniela Andrier interprets the 'sport' concept not with overt aquatic or citrus tropes, but through an aromatic fougère framework that feels refreshed, energetic, and impeccably groomed. This scent sits within the distinguished Luna Rossa lineup, a series built around a core of lavender and sweet, musky amber. The 'Sport' iteration lightens and brightens this signature, creating a versatile fragrance designed for daytime and active leisure. It is a scent of controlled energy, favoring a polished, synthetic freshness over raw naturalism. As a mainstay in the designer fragrance market, Luna Rossa Sport has established itself as a reliable choice for men seeking a clean, inoffensive, and consistently pleasant scent. It represents a specific idea of sportiness—one that is more about post-regatta socializing than the sweat of the gym.

Moderate for the first hour, then soft. It is not a room-filling fragrance; its presence is discreet and well-mannered.

Moderate. It creates a polite, personal bubble for the first 2-3 hours before retreating to a skin scent.
