Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Luna Rossa Ocean EDT
A crisp, aquatic aromatic that seamlessly blends modern freshness with powdery-musky refinement. Effortlessly versatile and approachable, this is Prada's answer to the everyday clean masculine-with a smooth, tech-inspired twist.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Italian Wave EDP
Italian Wave mirrors Prada Luna Rossa Ocean's spicy aromatic-fougere with its 'blue' lavender-iris signature. The pink-pepper opening and powdery vetiver-musk drydown read close, but as a budget dupe it lands flatter and lighter than the polished Prada.
