Isola Blu

“Really bad longevity (3-4 hours) and non-existent sillage and projection. Completely ludicrous for this to be $500 after tax. Roja continues to scam the fragrance community with his mediocre fragrances and insultingly high prices.This is your run of the mill citrus & woody scent, nothing more, nothing less. Don’t let the ridiculous amount of notes listed fool you into thinking this some complex fragrance with tons of depth. It’s very linear and hardly changes from the opening to the dry down.”

“This smells like TDH x Wu Long Cha X... high quality and not bad by any stretch but its not a statement maker or anything, so I fail to see the where the hype and the exorbitant price are justified. I would just wear this in the office or something. Which ordinarily wouldnt be an insult coming from me, as I tend to really like "safe" office type fragrances, but considering the price and hype surrounding this its slightly disappointing.”

“I don’t find Isola as similar to TDH as a lot of people think. Of course, there is some overlap, but side by side they are distinguishable from each other. This is a very mature scent, as most Roja fragrances. I find this scent both fresh and warm at the same time. Longevity is above average, it does stay close to the skin. However, the price for this is outrageous. I wouldn’t even pay for this at half the current retail price. Having said that, judging this fragrance as a stand-alone and not considering the price, I’m going to give it a love.”
