The one match we list is Dua Fragrances Darkside of the Moon, from $33. Nobody has scored it for us yet, so we show no numbers.
Every pairing shows where it comes from and how far we trust it.
Dua Fragrances sells Darkside of the Moon on its own product page as “Inspiration: Luna Rossa (2012 vintage formulation) by Prada” — the same lavender-clary-sage-ambrette-patchouli profile in a 34ml extrait. Manufacturer-stated and matched to the original Luna Rossa EDT (Dua sells Black/Ocean as separate SKUs); no community score evidence yet, so no score is shown.
What is missing: any report of how close it smells or how long it lasts. We would rather show no score than invent one.

Luna Rossa has one match so far. These are the closest scents by shared notes that have several.
Opens with a sharp, almost medicinal lavender-sage combo that reads more athletic than floral — clean and slightly herbal with real bite. The heart softens as iris steps in, adding a powdery, rooty coolness that keeps it from smelling like a soap bar. Labdanum and ambrette ease the dry-down into a musky, slightly animalic warmth, with patchouli staying restrained enough to add depth without going dark. Projection is moderate, sillage is polite — a skin-close finish. — Best in spring and early summer for someone who wants a fresh masculine with actual structure beneath the clean.

Scores come from owner reports on Reddit r/fragrance, r/fragranceclones and Fragrantica, and each is marked community-scored, provisional or not scored. They are never averaged into a single number — accuracy and longevity are separate decisions.
