Isola D’Santorini

Isola D'Santorini is Alexandria UK's interpretation of Roja Dove's Isola Blu, an extrait de parfum built to evoke a Mediterranean island holiday. The dupe opens with a sparkling burst of pineapple and citrus, brightened by white pepper and a touch of aromatic herbs, closely tracking the original's sun-drenched first impression. A heart of magnolia, gardenia and creamy coconut follows, adding a soft, effortless tropical warmth, with a whisper of peach for orchard sweetness. The base settles into ambergris, suede and green notes for a clean, skin-close finish. Where it diverges from Isola Blu is complexity: Roja's original layers in maté, galbanum, oakmoss, orris, birch and leather for a genuinely dense, evolving drydown with exceptional longevity, while this version simplifies to a lighter, more linear coconut-floral trail that fades within a few hours. It's a fair-weather crowd-pleaser at a fraction of the price, best suited to daytime wear when the original's heavier facets aren't needed anyway.
