Longevity & Sillage
Luna Rossa Carbon offers moderate longevity and a balanced sillage. The projection is noticeable in the early phases, but it mellows into a skin-close presence as time passes. Many regard it as “smooth” and “well-blended.”Perfect Occasions & Seasons
Versatile enough for daily wear — work, casual outings, evening dinners. It transitions across seasons but shines in spring and autumn when its mineral and spicy elements can breathe without being overwhelmed by heat.Why Niche Lovers Would Appreciate Luna Rossa Carbon
