Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Isola Blu EDP
Divisive, expensive, and baffling. Isola Blu is either a luxurious citrus masterpiece, an elevated take on beloved classics, or an overpriced, short-lived cleaning product. Most agree it's great, but many find it derivative and not worth the hefty price tag.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Oligarch EDP
Jubilee's take on Roja Dove's Oligarch keeps the citrus-chypre skeleton recognisable, but the dense birch-leather-oakmoss base that gives the original its intensity comes through much lighter, so this reads as a cheerful daytime citrus rather than the imposing original.

Its sophisticated, fresh-woody profile makes it suitable for various settings. While some find its projection moderate, others report it's beast-mode, so mindful application for the office is key. It's too refined for active sport but shines in casual, date, and smart-casual formal wear.
