There are some fragrances that are all about drama and projection, and then there are those that quietly draw you in and make you want to slow down and breathe a little deeper. ROJA London Isola Snow definitely sits in the latter camp. It’s less about making an entrance and more about creating a feeling, and it does that beautifully.
What is ROJA London Isola Snow
ROJA London Isola Snow is the newest release in ROJA London’s Isola collection, created by perfumer Antoine Cotton. The inspiration is a sensory escape to a private winter retreat, nestled among snow-cloaked mountains and surrounded by crisp alpine air.

My Review
For me, ROJA London Isola Snow smells like hugging someone who’s just come in from the cold. That clean, winter-air freshness in their hair. It’s cool and airy, yet instantly comforting. It’s that rare kind of scent that feels fresh and icy, but somehow still like the warmest hug.
It captures the crisp chill of winter air when the sun is shining and everything feels bright and still. What stands out to me is how gentle the freshness feels. It’s clean and icy, but never sharp or harsh. There’s a softness to it that makes it incredibly wearable, even if you’re not usually drawn to cooler, fresher fragrances.
It has that almost translucent quality that feels very modern and very elegant. It smells expensive in a beautifully understated way. Nothing shouts for attention, but everything feels thoughtful and perfectly balanced.
As it wears, Isola Snow develops the most gorgeous soft, creamy dry down. The cool freshness gently melts into something smoother and more cocooning. The base becomes subtly creamy, with a cosy warmth that sits close to the skin, while still holding onto that airy, clean feel.
This is where the fragrance really wins me over. It doesn’t lose its lightness, but it deepens in the most comforting way, bringing you right back to that “clean hair touched by winter air” moment. Cool, fresh, but reassuring all at once. On my skin, that balance is what makes ROJA London Isola Snow so special.
It’s fresh but not sporty, icy but not cold, comforting but never heavy. There’s something incredibly serene about it.
