Prada introduces a new masculine fragrance in Sept. 2012, named after the sailboat and the sailing team "Red Moon" or Luna Rossa, which participates in the American Cup competitions. The new fragrance, considering its name, draws its inspiration from the world of extreme sailing, prestige, marine nature and a passion for innovation and victory.

The composition is developed around the main note of lavender by perfumer Daniela Andrier of Givaudan. The intensity and freshness of the accords are emphasized by the use of classical notes in new, innovative ways. Those notes include lavender absolute and bitter orange in the top, clary sage and spearmint in the heart, and ambrette absolute and ambroxan molecule in the base.

The bottle design is inspired by modern sailboats, signed by Yves Behar. The fragrance is available as 50, 100 and 150 ml Eau de Toilette.

I heard this was coming out but before now I hadn't seen the bottle. I love the other Prada scents but I hope this one doesn't have as much of a soapy scent and projects well with good staying power.

Ooooh! I must obtain a sample for my guy. It sounds like my tastes (oriental) and his (sporty) combined :]

This is exciting. This one really may be worthwhile, especially considering Andrier's palette.

Hopefully this isn't just a money generator. Prada seems better than that. I'm actually impressed with how infrequently they come out with new fragrances! They keep it minimalistic but beautiful. Hopefully this will smell sporty but not boring

Yup, it's a sport line from Prada. I always love this collection. I used to have a pair of sneakers and perhaps I will have a cologne too. I am excited.

Knowing Daniela's previous work I am going to like this. What could be a better introduction to the world of lavender?

I suppose this is Prada's way of saying "Sport", in a classy way.

I already love it just for the flaccon itself, hopefully the juice is just as good, not just a mere eye candy...

I can't wait for September to come...

Thanks Miuccia!
