Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Isola Blu EDP
Divisive, expensive, and baffling. Isola Blu is either a luxurious citrus masterpiece, an elevated take on beloved classics, or an overpriced, short-lived cleaning product. Most agree it's great, but many find it derivative and not worth the hefty price tag.

Our Verdict - Isola D’Santorini EDP
Isola D'Santorini chases Roja Dove's Isola Blu vacation-in-a-bottle pineapple-coconut-magnolia signature. It captures the sunny opening well but skips most of Isola Blu's dense, multi-layered base, landing flatter and shorter-lived than Roja's genuinely opulent original.
