Isola Verde

I recently tried Isola Verde, and from the first spray, it felt like a cool and wearable perfume. The composition is beautifully crafted—fresh, bright, and juicy, with a little acidic kick that makes it uplifting. I immediately caught the zest of lime, the airy sweetness of what perfumery calls "melon," and a soft floral undertone tying it all together. What stands out to me is how balanced it is; nothing feels too sharp, it is harmonious, rounded, and clearly of good quality. I can't compare it to the other Isolas from Roja because I haven't tried them yet, and I find comparisons to Trump or Barbie fragrances unfair, as they cheapen this perfume. I also tried Limonata from Narcotica, which won me over. On my skin, Isola Verde moves like this: fresh citrus → floral-fruity → soft sweetness → woody freshness. The only downside? 💵 It’s pricey.

I have a 10ml sample. Been spritzing it on me at my office desk... mainly just to add some sunny vibes to my day! But then something happened! I fell in love with this. For me it leans unisex masculine due to the green notes, but don’t be fooled it’s the Guava and melon that pull this into signature scent worthy superstardom. It makes me so happy. It’s bright, indulgent, blended to perfection, and gives you 100% fruity and syrupy green leaves . I can’t wait to wear this in bursting hot sunshine when I travel next year. I just can’t afford a big bottle yet. So will continue to look for the smaller sizes until I’ve saved up. Adore

This is a very, very nice fragrance and I couldn't be happier with the purchase. Starts out fruity but the drydown is where this shines and I do believe this leans masculine. Performs well and I do believe this is a profile you can wear most of the year, not simply in the heat. Another Roja masterpiece and although it may be overpriced retail wise, it's a bargain on discounters.

The tropical fruit is beautifully tempered by magnolia, pepper, tobacco and sandalwood. Fantastically balanced. So evocative of a beautiful night in the (sub)tropics it actually brings me the very rare feeling of nostalgia and a tear to my eye. I almost regret getting a sample of this because I think I will have to get a full bottle.

Very pleasing warm weather daytime scent. Almost reminds me of Porthole if you took out the iodine and ramp up the florals. I’d say it’s unisex but definitely leaning toward the femme side. Still easily wearable for anyone. Also, it smells very similar to a mock orange blossom. I’m surprised it is not in the notes

its a shame that roja fragrances especially in this line are very expensive, as this is one of the best fragrances ive ever tried. guava happens to be one of my favourite fruits, and it's perfectly encapsulated in this fragrance. one of the best scents ive ever smelled.

This fragrance was a surprise. I was expecting all kinds of summery fruits tropical feeling, it is but in a masculine l’inmensite LV way, very woody, super good. Surprised to say the least. Best blind buy not joking great

My wife and I share this one. A man can pull this offfir sure, but it's fruity and fun for the summer. Solid woody base over green-ish guava and citrus.

Super clean slightly green classic men's. Soft soapy fruit earthy green tropical leafsmell with a touch of barbers shop I absolutely love this

The smell just brings me somewhere else. Could potentially be a safe blind buy to those who enjoy fruity scents.

Fruity and juicy melon - mango smell, I like it very much. Reminds me of God of Fire at the opening.

Nice medley of fruits and flowers. Very expensive for a 50ml bottle

Beautiful fruity tropical guava fragrance

this smells great, green and citrusy

Isola Verde is pretty nice. On my skin it is very citrusy - floral. The citrus that I get is golden grapefruit in the opening and clementine with grapefruit in the mid. I do get some florals, but I can not pick out which ones. I do not get any of the base notes like cardamom, rum, tobacco, or sandalwood at all. I would say that this is the same vibe as Isola Sol, but with added citruses. Are they super similar? No. But they are of the same vibe, very reminiscent of summer vacation. While I do find the scent to be quite nice, I don’t think that it is worth $500 to me, but it is very subjective. I would love to pick this up at $300 or below. I find Isola Verde to be unisex leaning feminine. The performance on my skin is not stellar: I get an ok longevity, but it sits rather close to the skin after about 20 minutes. I find that windy environment makes projection slightly better.

this can be an hit if roja wouldnt charge for ridiculous prices. i only find their value at discounters isola verde experience is for an acquired taste. you have to tolerate a strong sour guayaba , green mango lime opening like the isola blu ,to compensate a strong radioactive drydown .... the drydown is a tropical fougeree scent , a one of a kind green scent , it proyects and lingers around you for hours... i disagree with the perfomance being weak, my first time trying it i had to scrub it off because it does projects like a beast in the first minutes ... the drydown sticked with me for hours even i washed and scrubbed my skin...

This one was in my Harrods 2025 fragrance advent and it’s often overlooked as people shout about its more popular or larger sized comrades. I suspect this one missed its tone to shine in the summer being in an advent calendar as this is definitely a summer fragrance and it’s a lovely one! The citris notes are sweet like candied fruit as opposed to the sometimes bitter notes you can get from more zesty citrus fragrances. I don’t get any tobacco from this (which is good for me personally) I’m not the biggest fan of the note. I look forward to wearing this next summer - it’s a win for me.

Isola Verde is a stunner, transports you on a beach with Mojito in your hand 🏝️ citrusy, tangy, floral - perfect combination for summer. In Roja’s style so not juvenile, but to my surprise not old-fashioned either. Refreshing and joyful. Unsisex, personally think feminine leaning.

i like isola sol and as a man i can pull it off . smells similar to bdk saint honore which give me fresh printed cash smell. this bottle alone sold me out because the hedione, magnolia and osmanthus notes, they are my favorite floral notes now combined as one.

Sampled this yesterday at the Roja off Piccadilly. So, so good. I've a couple of frags come close - MFK Acqua Media forte (sweeter), and Hermes Eau Givree (cooler). Sadly £385 for 50ml is just way too much, it really is, and reflected in my rating. 3/5
