Two routes to an everyday signature.
YSL places orange blossom between fresh bergamot and a warm woody base. Prada builds Carbon EDT around lavender, geranium and mineral ambroxan. Our buying distinction is a woody floral direction versus an aromatic mineral one. The useful question is which character you want to return to day after day.
MYSLF EDP
Put MYSLF first if you want a floral heart in your everyday fragrance. We would sample it for a routine that moves from daytime plans into dinner out. Decide whether that floral direction is something you want to wear regularly, rather than choosing only for the opening.
The tradeoff If your ideal daily fragrance centers on lavender, start with Carbon. MYSLF’s EDP label does not automatically make it the stronger or longer-lasting choice; compare the wear before paying for a concentration alone.

Luna Rossa Carbon EDT
Start with Carbon EDT if a mineral lavender character sounds like your daily style. It is our first sample for someone who wants that aromatic direction for workdays and relaxed plans. Give the scent time to develop before choosing it over MYSLF.
The tradeoff If the floral heart of MYSLF is the reason you are shopping, sample that first. Choosing Carbon for work does not mean it will be quieter on your skin. Use a modest application and compare how each feels in the settings you share with others.

Where will you wear it?
Use these as starting points. Your preferences and application matter most.
Workdays and errands
Carbon for an aromatic preferenceWe would start with Carbon if you want an aromatic fragrance for your daily routine. MYSLF can cover the same plans if its floral direction suits you better. Apply modestly in shared spaces where fragrance is welcome.
Dinner and casual evenings
MYSLF for a floral preferenceMYSLF is our first sample for someone who wants a woody floral scent for an evening out. Give it time before deciding how much to apply. Carbon remains a useful option when its character feels more like you.
A full day away from home
Choose the scent you enjoy laterTry each through a normal day before buying. Consider how it feels after the opening and whether you still like it as your plans change. The concentration label alone cannot settle that decision.
Adding a second daily fragrance
Look for a difference you will useCompare both against the fragrance you already own. A second bottle makes more sense when you enjoy its distinct character and can see yourself reaching for it. If it fills the same role without adding much for you, keep the purchase to one.
Compare the wear, as well as the concentration.
MYSLF is an EDP and Carbon is an EDT, but those labels do not establish a longevity or projection winner across two different fragrances. Try similar applications on separate days in comparable conditions. Check the scent later, how comfortable it feels and whether you still enjoy it.
Found your signature?
Buy MYSLF EDP when you want a woody floral signature. Buy Carbon EDT when an aromatic mineral direction is the better fit. Our first sample for an orange blossom preference is MYSLF; for a lavender preference, Carbon. Choose the one you enjoy through the day, then compare the two standard 100 ml Jomashop offers.

See fragrance & retailer options →Compare the value. Both featured bottles contain 100 ml, so compare their final totals for the same volume. Include shipping, tax and coupon requirements. A lower total is useful when it buys the scent you prefer; a bottle you rarely reach for offers less value. If you already own a daily fragrance, sample before adding another.
Still deciding?
Should I buy YSL MYSLF EDP or Prada Luna Rossa Carbon EDT?
Choose MYSLF for a woody floral signature, or Carbon for an aromatic mineral direction. Both can cover everyday plans. Sample each beyond the opening, then choose the one you want to keep wearing.
Do MYSLF and Carbon EDT smell the same?
They share a fresh everyday buying brief, but their central scent cues differ. MYSLF emphasizes orange blossom and woods; Carbon emphasizes lavender and a mineral character. Similar occasions do not make the complete fragrances interchangeable.
Which is better for the office?
Carbon is our starting sample if an aromatic daily scent is what you want. MYSLF can suit the same role when you prefer a floral direction. Neither is automatically discreet: use a modest application in shared spaces where fragrance is welcome.
Does MYSLF last longer because it is an EDP?
The EDP and EDT labels do not establish a performance winner across these different fragrances. Compare similar applications in similar conditions and check each later. Your enjoyment of the developing scent matters alongside how long you notice it.
Is it worth owning both?
It can be if you enjoy their different characters and would reach for each regularly. If you are buying your first daily fragrance, choose one after sampling. Revisit the second only when you know what it would add to your routine.
Which versions and sizes do the shopping buttons select?
The Jomashop selections are standard 100 ml bottles: MYSLF Eau de Parfum, listed as 3.3 oz, and Luna Rossa Carbon Eau de Toilette, listed as 3.4 oz. These are separate from MYSLF Le Parfum, other MYSLF versions, Carbon EDP, refills, testers and gift sets. Confirm the full name and concentration before checkout. Packaging images are illustrative.
