Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Isola Blu Eau de Parfum

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 - Elysium Intense Eau de Toilette

This flanker of Elysium is a divisive one. Many find it a refreshing, zesty update to the original, amping up the citrus and adding a unique rhubarb tartness. However, a significant number of people find the performance abysmal and the scent profile too generic or even unpleasant, like cleaning product. Try before you buy, it's not a safe blind-buy for everyone.

Isola Blu Eau de Parfum

Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Office Formal Sport

Its sophisticated, fresh-woody profile makes it suitable for various settings. While some find its projection moderate, others report it's beast-mode, so mindful application for the office is key. It's too refined for active sport but shines in casual, date, and smart-casual formal wear.

Spring Summer

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual Sport

Also Works:

Office Formal

Despite its 'Intense' moniker, this fragrance is widely reported to have moderate to weak performance, making it suitable for office wear without being overpowering. Its fresh and vibrant profile is perfect for casual outings and warmer weather, and it's certainly a crowd-pleaser for dates. While it could work for some formal events, other scents might offer more gravitas.
