Roja Parfums Isola Blu Parfum
Description
Isola Blu launched the Isola Collection in 2023: the marine-citrus original that Isola Sol, Verde and Snow all followed. Lime, bergamot and lavender open onto a blackcurrant-jasmine-coconut heart, landing on an ambery, leathery base. Roja pitches it as "a five-star vacation in a bottle," and of the four Isola releases it's the most polished and evening-capable.
How It Differs From Isola Sol & Isola Verde
- Isola Blu: marine glamour: citrus, blackcurrant and leathery amber. The most polished and evening-ready of the collection.
- Isola Sol: golden beach warmth: apricot, peach, coconut, salt-musk. Sunnier and sweeter, strictly daytime.
- Isola Verde: tropical greenery: melon, guava, tobacco and rum. Fresher and more herbal.
Scent Character
- Fresh: 24%
- Sweet: 22%

- Spicy: 7%
Translation: fresh-sweet-floral up top, warming into ambery woods. (There's no literal agarwood in the disclosed notes. The darker depth comes from the amber-leather base.)
