By the editors · 2 min readRoja Dove designs Isola Blu as a total olfactory immersion in the Italian coastal landscape — not a linear composition but a meditation on a place. The opening is generous: lavender, lime, lemon, bergamot, and thyme together in a bright herbal-citrus chord that opens with the light and altitude of the Italian archipelago. The heart is where the island's warmth arrives — coconut alongside jasmine, lily, orange blossom, and black currant providing tropical richness with structured floral character. The base is Dove's signature extravagance: fourteen materials including oakmoss, leather, ambergris, labdanum, patchouli, cedar, anise, and tonka bean, each contributing to a foundation of genuine weight and longevity. A fragrance requiring an occasion proportionate to its ambition.
