Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Oligarch EDP
If you're after a fresh, luxurious citrus bomb that screams 'old money' with a hint of controversy, Oligarch (or Isola Blu, if you're keeping up) is your scent. It's a high-class, super-refined take on a familiar theme, and often triggers fierce debate about whether it's truly worth the eye-watering price tag.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Isle Serenade EDP
A budget take on Roja Dove's luxurious Isola Blu. Isle Serenade lands the bright citrus opening and herbal lavender-thyme lift over a green, mossy chypre base, but where Roja's version is impeccably balanced and refined, this dupe renders the complexity flatter and the high-end polish thinner.
