Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Oligarch
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.

Our Verdict - iS Intense
A syrupy blackcurrant beast that outshines its inspiration. This one's a crowd-pleaser and a blind-buy masterpiece, delivering luxury at a fraction of the price. Truly an elevation.

Season and Occasion Fit

Oligarch

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

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.

iS Intense

Seasons

Also Works:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its intensity and long-lasting projection mean it's ideal for evenings out or events where you want to make an impression, hence the high scores for date and formal. While not an office scent, a light hand could make it work. It's too opulent for gym wear, but perfectly suited for those who appreciate bold fragrances in casual settings.
