I'm usually a fanboy of Roja and really enjoy their fragrances. When I saw that Isola Sol was coming out and noticed it had apricot in it, my expectations were very high, and I was really looking forward to it. Based on the notes, I thought I would really like the scent. Well, I didn't expect to pay €450 for an overload of Jasmine Sambac. But unfortunately, that's exactly what I got. Penetrating jasmine from start to finish, with a slight neroli undertone at times. I didn't pick up any of the listed fruits at all. Woods and musk also remain hidden. Such a shame, but it just didn't work for me.
I would only find jasmine awful, especially at that price.
Seems like a top note blender...
No, seriously. It just wasn't for me; the Sol just doesn't appeal to me 😒
