Thank you for the excellent review of this one. I think you put similar thoughts on it into words, better than I could have. This one is about clean, effortless status. An aromatic citrus that doesn't need to scream for hours - and folks who are going to whine about price to performance need not apply. This is one for someone who doesn't have to think about the price and wants you to be subtly aware of that throughout the whole conversation. It is a flex, and I don't think Roja's goal here was to please niche collectors so much as "that" demographic. Is that a good thing? Well, it depends. That sort of personality doesn't wear well on everyone, nor is it exactly universally liked, but I do think that demographic exists and will love this. Do I love this myself? Yes, honestly. I also love stuff that is 5-10% of the price of this and I get why it sees some hate in the community - but it's just too good.
Oligarch is one word that quietly expresses well the contents of the bottle. 👌🏻 Without the need to exaggerate words about seas.... beaches.... islands.... vacations..... colors....coconut ..... pineapple ect..... MORE IS LESS
You're right that it is the same as Oligarch Parfum, which replaced Oligarch EDP and was a slight improvement in that it was thicker and richer and didn't go so quickly into the dry down. To me it seems like a thicker more luxurious take on Kilian Lemon in Zest, which transitions from citruses to orange brandy and then to vetiver and cedar. I got about 6 h before it went into the grassy-woody dry down which lasted about another 3. I am very happy with it as it takes its place beside Xerjoff Fiero as my best 2 citrus aromatics. I also prefer it to Elysium and Oceania.
Hi Troy. I picked up this fragrance and find it to be too masculine on me. I do like it but find it difficult to wear. Any ideas on what I could layer with it to make it sweeter or more feminine?
And rightfully so with the current state of affairs with Russia be Ukraine. It was the right thing to do by Roja Dove to discontinue Oligarch. Relaunch or not i commend his stand.
Excellent review, well described, great analysis, and a perfect nose for class, thank you!
🫡❤️
Really great breakdown, spot on !!!!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Amazing review as always, waiting for the Taif aoud 👏🏻

Troy is always on point and early! I don't have any Rojas, but this one sounds interesting
Thank you!!! Glad u enjoyed the review!
Is ok to use it on summer what do think!
Never actually smelled isola blu but the alexandria clone is amazing. Immediately in my top 3.
I have the Alexandria clone on the way. Do you feel it’s youthful enough or strong mature lean?
Great review. And I always let my jet speak before my perfume for sure.

I just picked up Elysium Parfum. Such a great drydown. Might sample this one. I want another summer banger in the collection.
🙏🏻
Is the performance any better than the og
Did you end up getting isola blu? Im debating between Elysium parfum and isola blu
Nice video!
Is nice to wear it on summer
How does this compare to Milisime Imperial? Does it smell even more natural?

Sell it and get what you really want :)
@@TroyD247Mall thanks for the tip. I live in Canada so it's such a hassle. I'm going to go to my collection and play chemist
Try Enigma Aoud ruclips.net/video/_UHaB5t2Q1E/видео.html
@@TroyD247Mall thanks for the great suggestion. I actually emailed Roja Parfums yesterday and they said Enigma or Elixir so you are right on with that
I’m not sure folks that live the high life need 12hr performance from a perfume given the high end lifestyle
Me either.
Great review! This back ground ...not your best choice:)
How about I don’t have one lol
Reviewing the hitters as always, I fell off..you didn’t!!
