When I returned home, I looked at my collection and noticed my bottle of Versace dreamer (2010 reformulation). When I first wore Versace Dreamer, it didn't make me fall in love like PLR ocean. However, I do detect similarities.

So, this might come across as something that's very uninspired when you hit the trigger on this for the first time. Luna Rossa Ocean is a powerful fougere fragrance. Fusing naturally inspired, fresh and aquatic accords. The masculine scent encapsulates refreshing bergamot, contrasted with the extreme sophistication of vetiver, tonka bean, and elegant notes of iris. A truly unique and addictive everyday aftershave for men.

I thought this was Prada's take on an aquatic scent but don't let the name fool you. This is not a straight up aquatic fragrance like, per se, ADG Profondo or Bvlgari Aqua line. Even the note breakdown, if you look at them without knowing what perfume it is, no one would suspect that it's an aquatic.

I bought Chanel's BDC Parfum around the same time, and I think that Ocean competes quite well with that. I find them much more similar (mid notes) than any of the others referenced above. I would also say this has a similar formula to Ferragamo's Acqua Essenziale Blu with more interesting reference notes (like Caramel and Iris) and better blending. 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. The freshness and mild sweetness in the opening give off a subtle saltiness that does remind one of an ocean scent or at least allow one to make a connection to its name. Such an ADDICTING opening. The smoothness of the iris mixed with lavender in the mid is LOVELY; personally, no one does iris better than Prada. Super versatile (i think this can be pulled off in the winter, too), totally inoffensive, safe blind buy. I'm a blue addict but this is not a typical blue fragrance, in my opinion; in a class of its own. GREAT SCENT. 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. 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 adds a touch of iris, and it appears more and more as the fragrance gets into the mid and beyond. It’s a bit powdery and does a good job cutting through Ocean’s overall “blue-ness” adding it’s own unique touch to the typical shower gel fragrance formula. This scent has Bergamot and Pepper creating a spicy fresh opening, followed by Lavender and Iris providing a clean, powdery accord, resting on a base of Musk, Patchouli, and Vetiver creating a musky, and woodsy vibe throughout the life of the fragrance. The caramel note brings a subtle sweetness. Surprisingly enough it does not last long on my skin. The Beautiful opening lasts about 30 minutes and then it's gone to a skin scent. Perhaps it will work better with direct sunlight during hot days. 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. 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. 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.

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. 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 CompositionI 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.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. To be honest, this is probably the next best thing you can ever find post BDC, but then again, it's really unfair to compare every fragrance to an all-time masterpiece. This is one composition that would be adored if it wasn't overshadowed by Bleu (and I'm very much guilty of making that comparison), but hey, such is life... I have had this for a while and not reviewed yet. I've worn it at least 10x and have a good idea about what I like about it. Initially I thought it was a bit boring, easily outperformed, less exciting, and less comforting than my other fresh ('blue') fragrances. I had sprayed this on skin and was initially interested by the caramel sweetness as it works a bit differently than other freshies, and I did a paper test as well. It was nice...but I forgot about it the next morning. Combine Prada's Soapy style which always blends well together with a Smooth and subdued Dylan Blue, less dark but just as sweet but in a classier way and unique with the Caramel, I get that note, normally wouldn't like it, but it works here. I would call this a mix of Ralph's Club, Lunna Rossa Original, Sport, Dylan blue to get an easy signature. Best part of Prada is alot of people don't buy it, 99% don't wear Cologne, so this is super unique to people that smell you......Great job Prada.
