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.
Nobility chases Roja Parfums' Oligarch - zesty lime, bergamot and lemon opening into blackcurrant, jasmine and orange blossom over a cedar-oakmoss-leather base. Some reviewers call it close to 95% Oligarch, if a touch more citrusy and less smooth than the original.

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.
