What does Isla smell like?

Half of the voters pick summer, and a good share choose spring. It suits leisure and daily wear best, and it can also work in an office. Longevity and sillage are moderate, and votes for feminine and masculine are close, so it doesn't read as clearly one or the other.

The top opens with bergamot, grapefruit, cardamom and two kinds of petitgrain; in the heart, bergamot blossom, mint and rosemary pull that freshness towards green and spice. The base of musk, amber and two vetivers softens it and settles it onto a calm, woody footing.
