ROJA ISOLA BLU & ISOLA SOL (Full Reviews)

Full Fragrances Reviews of Isola Blu & Isola Sol by Roja Parfums

My Own Perfume Brand:

[EsteBahia]

Recently ordered samples of your brand. Elixir stands out, for sure. Proxima and Antheia also stand out to me. I appreciate and applaud your work and creativity.

I stand fully by your point regarding the "unexplainable" or unjustified value for money on these fragrances...thanks for your ever unwavering honesty . 🙏

I'd rate Roja fragrances similar to John Varvatos. They are ok, but nothing special & usually very poor performance. Worth around £20-£40.

I really like Isola Blu (previously known as Oligarch) but as you say it's insanely overpriced in terms of raw materials to price ratio.
I rather go with Terre Intense Vetiver or the better Darwin by Fueguia 1833 which even though it's overpriced is a better fragrance IMO.

My question is why didn't Roja Parfums send you a full bottle as a free gift to make this elaborate review like other senior reviewers received ? When of course you're obviously also from England just like Roja Dove & claiming to have your own brand ?? 😲

Unfortunately the brand has been a big letdown for me lately. Not just the new releases (have tried Isola blu, Aoud Extraordinaire- major flops imo) but I think even the older fragrances are not good anymore in the new batches. And it's kinda sad to say that because my favorite perfume ever is actually a Roja, Britannia, which has been discontinued for some years now. My bottle is from 2020 and fortunately I consider it to be of better quality than the recent stuff/batches of other Rojas I have tried in the past.

As a side note, the whole thing fell apart for me when I blind bought RDHP15 (not the new one, RDHP20), based actually on a positive review of someone I generally agree with and trust. You can't win them all I guess. Since you 're living in London and the perfume is only exclusive to his haute perfumerie in Harrods, I would love to hear your thoughts on it, if you ever get the chance to smell it. There is just something so synthetic about it that drives me crazy, like, what is everyone else smelling for crying out loud!😅 Cheers!!

I own and love Isola Blue (10ml travel bottle), but it's horrifically overpriced. Does Isola Blue smell like a niche version of Terre D'Hermes edt to you? () It does to me. Isola Sol is nice, but yeah, too feminine for me.

Royally ripped 💪 I've been called that on more than one occasion. 😂 HooWaaaa🏋‍♂

[airm]

Roja still done by that random fragrance company that's always done them, right?

[phantomplastics]

I'm surprised by your take on these. Oligarch / Isola Blu smells incredible to my nose and the quality is there. Maybe you're not getting it from the paper strip. Pretty much everyone agrees, although the price is indeed high. Isola Blu is like a better, more interesting version of Basso and we know the price of that. I'm not an expert but have very extensive experience of niche, designer and even your own creations.

I bought samples of these fragrances primarily because I love Ylang Ylang and Sandalwood (Isola Sol) and have to steal that terminology of laughable.
Not just the prices but these releases as whole are laughable. I just simply can’t take this house seriously.

Perfumer that made these most of been very expensive if he charges 400 euros for 50 ml

[Principemostprincipe]

Roja is a joke. Acting some kind of exclusivity and sending free bottles of his fragrances to every influencer ever existed 😂😂

[gunmetal]

You're also paying for Roja Dove's retirement fund LOL.
