Which Should You Buy?
This flanker is an intriguing diversion from the original 'Carbon', sparking fierce debate among fans. Expect a love-it-or-hate-it response to its prominent licorice, but don't knock it 'til you've tried it - it's a bold departure for Prada.
No. 709 leans on the same lavender-and-Ambroxan fougere skeleton as Prada Luna Rossa Carbon, but plays it louder and flatter up top, with the mineral coolness fading faster into a simpler patchouli-musk base than the original's layered dry-down.
