Strong contender

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Strong contender. That is where Isola Blu lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Isola Blu.

HK Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Isola Blu's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $89 per 100ml it costs 80% less than Isola Blu — the 3rd cheapest of 4 twins we can price.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
