Roja Isola Snow - A Fresh Turning Point?
TL;DR: Isola Snow surprises positively. A cool-fruity pear opening meets a refined, powdery-floral heart phase. The synthetic note is clearly perceptible, but well integrated. The woody drydown makes the fragrance suitable for everyday wear and gives it more character than its predecessors.
With a mix of optimism and a hint of doubt, I spray the new Isola Snow on my wrist - and I am pleasantly surprised! The fragrance has a strong, synthetic opening that, unlike the previous release "Elysium Noir | Roja Parfums," smells significantly better. The pear adds a cool, slightly fruity undertone, while a floral powderiness gently rounds out the scent in the background. Isola Snow feels clean and exudes a certain coldness, reminiscent of "Pegasus | Parfums de Marly." The fragrance has a distinct synthetic note, which this time is more carefully woven into the rest of the composition.
In the first thirty minutes, the synthetics continue to diminish, while the floral-powdery heart notes become more pronounced. It is precisely this powdery note that gives the fragrance its warm effect. One can imagine it like a cozy fur coat in the cold winter air. In the background, the rose also makes its presence known, providing a certain sweet aroma.
Isola Snow becomes softer and more floral as it develops, while the pear sometimes breaks through more strongly. Although the synthetic aspect is clearly noticeable, I do not find it off-putting or overwhelming, but merely unusual. In the drydown, the woody base notes come into play, providing a warm, almost creamy finish.
Overall, Isola Snow is not a typical Roja fragrance and not a groundbreaking creation either. In my opinion, it is still an interesting and pleasant scent that has more depth and character than its predecessors. It evokes the end of winter when spring slowly arrives and feels like a relaxed, everyday fragrance that gains a special nuance once the heart notes emerge.
