Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenSummer by brings floral; Isola Blu brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • Notes in commonBoth list lemon, bergamot, jasmine and musk and 2 more, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadCitrus, white floral, sweet and fresh run through both.
  • Same seasonBoth are voted best for summer.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Summer by is moderate on both, Isola Blu long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
