Which Should You Buy?
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.
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.

Occasions
Its clean, non-intrusive musky freshness and moderate projection make it perfect for office and casual use, while its modern sophistication works on dates and after sports. It is less formal and not suited for high glamour events.
