Which Should You Buy?
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.
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Oligarch - a citrus fragrance led by Lemon, Bergamot, Lavender, with aromatic depth. Expect a softer, closer-to-skin take on the original - the signature intact, the projection gentler.

Performance
Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and autumn.
Occasions
Its luminous, clean freshness makes it versatile, perfectly suited for both daytime sophistication and evening dates where its luxurious character truly shines. While some note its strong sillage, it's generally well-mannered enough for an office setting in moderation, and too refined for sport.
Seasons
Reach for it across spring and summer, where the citrus signature sits most naturally; outside those months its softer projection thins out faster.
Occasions
This one suits casual and daily settings; the easy, breezy character keeps it versatile for date rotation too.
