Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Luna Rossa Carbon EDT
A sharp, innovative twist on fresh aromatics - Luna Rossa Carbon balances metallic minerals, lavender, and ambroxan in an ultra-modern, versatile signature that's both uplifting and assertively clean.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Black XS L'Exces for Him EDT
A divisive, pineapple-heavy flanker that split opinion. Some rave about its sweet, fresh, and dirty pineapple vibe, praising its beastly performance, while others find it too synthetic, cloying, and short-lived. Definitely a love-it-or-hate-it scent.

Season and Occasion Fit

Luna Rossa Carbon

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn

The vibrant citrus, aromatic lavender, and fresh spicy accord make this ideal for spring and summer, but the mineral-woody drydown and ambroxan keep it versatile for mild autumn. Its brightness fades in very cold winter air.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its clean, modern profile and moderate projection suit office and casual wear perfectly, while its mineral edge and understated sweetness work for dates. A bit too refined for sport, and just formal enough for smart events.

Black XS L'Exces for Him

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Sport

Its bold and sweet profile, often described as a 'beast' in projection and longevity by fans, makes it unsuitable for professional settings. However, its 'sexy and juicy' appeal, often mentioned by reviewers, makes it a strong contender for date nights and casual outings, especially clubbing.
