I got into fragrances in the last few months so I never got to try Oligarch. But Isola might very well be my summer 2024 daily driver. Pretty solid all around. Performance is not that much of a problem for me.
@@fragranceenjoyer I guess I should set up a FB just so I can do marketplace. But I’ve made it this far without one. It’s a quandary. I’m enjoying your vids of you enjoying fragrances, btw. Curious to see what’s next.
The bottle with the EDP concentration was withdrawn probably in 2021, five years after the premiere. It was replaced with a perfume concentration bottle, only to be withdrawn again in 2022. In 2023, the fragrance saw the light of day again, this time under the name Isola Blu. The name was changed for obvious reasons. But is it just a rebranding? I sense significant, although difficult to determine, differences between Oligarch EDP 2021 and Isola Blu PARFUM 2023. Maybe the formula is the same and only time has changed the scent of the liquid. Some maceration processes may have taken place here. Both versions are wonderful, but quite different. Oligarch is older, woodier, more floral, drier, a bit heavier, more universal, year-round. The oligarch is more distinguished. It's a more sophisticated scent. Extremely noble. A similar refining process takes place during the production of tinctures. I experienced this during the production of dogwood tincture, where after a few years the liquid changed color from red to amber, but most importantly the taste became so exquisite and noble compared to the younger, sour releases of this tincture. Oligarch EDP also has much better performance parameters than the young Isola Blu perfume. Isola Blu, on the other hand, is lighter, younger, more citrusy and summery. It is long-lasting, but the projection is poor in my opinion. And this is pure perfume! Unfortunately, I have no comparison to the Oligarch version of the perfume, and apparently only this version is similar or identical to Isola Blu. I wonder if Roja Dove will ever clarify my doubts about the formulation in an interview. Oligarch is a luxurious, versatile, noble, improved version of Terre d'Hermes, but without the earthy minerality. Mr. Roja Dove achieved the impossible. He improved the legend...
Fingers crossed for Isola blue🤞😊 It reminds me of a place near me, also called Izola. With the smell of perfume I would wear the summer on me everyday🌞
Always enjoy. Can you compare Sospiro Basso. In USA but would like and enjoy to try Isola Blue. Thanks as always. Be safe. Hahaha. Saw the conparsion while I typed. Thanks
I’m testing isolu blu I’m loving it what I did I ordered decant of basso that should be arriving today I’m gonna test them an make a full bottle purchase on one of the fragrances the roja man blowing my mine
Nice work and I really like the book and the candles in the background😍. I become very curious about Isola Blu and I hope that your give away will make another fan of yours happy!
Hi, love your work. I’m an early subscriber and would love to get my nose on either one. I own a few Rona’s myself Nuit 3, Musk Aoud and Aoud. Keep up the good work.
Hey, enjoying your videos! I'm new to Roja and do not yet have a full bottle but just managed to get myself a tester set. I would love to win the elysium eau intense, very interested in what it is like.
Did you have Oligarch PPH or EdP? I'd be surprised if Isola performed better than the EdP. But lucky you that Isola works great on you! For me, I have to rely on the limited supply of Oligarch EdP to get that performance.
Good afternoon friend, subscribe to your channel! very good review! I had a decant of Isola Blue and although I love the smell... the performance on my skin is TERRIBLE. Do you consider that Sospiro Basso is a good alternative? Are they similar in quality or is there much difference? And what is the performance? Thank you so much! greetings from Argentina!
It seems like getting oligarch is near impossible lately. Quite annoying if you ask me. Before the war I saw a lot of these but now I don’t even see one for sale.
Remember to leave a comment and like the vid to enter the giveaway :)

Oligarch is the best. One of my favorites of all time and the name itself is awesome

Welcome to the game! If you look closely, you might be able to find Oligarch, as people are selling their Roja's like crazy.
@@fragranceenjoyer where are you seeing these oligarch deals? I see one or two here and there. Im interested but I’m not paying $1000 USD for it.
@@EP-336 Max you should pay for that is 350. Check facebook groups and Parfumo

Fragrance du Bois and Roja are my absolute favorite house. Very exquisite and when i want to present myself in a magnificent way, im wearing it.
Always enjoy. Can you compare Sospiro Basso. In USA but would like and enjoy to try Isola Blue. Thanks as always. Be safe. Hahaha. Saw the conparsion while I typed. Thanks
I’m from the states but thanks for video I ordered the new Elysium an ordered the travel sample Islo blu can’t wait to experience the fragrances
High valued content by the way. Is there a chance that you share how much does weight each parfum ? Where did you buy oligarch ?
I like the Isola blue better because in my skin stay quite longer than oligarch
Thank you for your time and your video. Greetings from Mexico :)
Glad it was helpful! Thank you!
I’ve been wanting to test Oligarch for a while, so Isola Blu for me please! 🤞🙏

Hey, enjoying your videos! I'm new to Roja and do not yet have a full bottle but just managed to get myself a tester set. I would love to win the elysium eau intense, very interested in what it is like.
As usual, perfect review for perfect product
Love the way you describe everything ❤
Great Review man!
I am voting for Elysium :)
Great review I want both 😍
I’d love to win the elysium travel atomizer
I find isola blu to be much better performing than oligarch, I actually got rid of my bottle of oligarch because it just didn’t perform on me
Did you have Oligarch PPH or EdP? I'd be surprised if Isola performed better than the EdP. But lucky you that Isola works great on you! For me, I have to rely on the limited supply of Oligarch EdP to get that performance.
Good afternoon friend, subscribe to your channel! very good review!

Do you consider that Sospiro Basso is a good alternative? Are they similar in quality or is there much difference? And what is the performance?
Thank you so much! greetings from Argentina!
Hey there, it is a good alternative indeed, slightly more sweet, but a good one to get if you want to save money on Isola Blu.
It seems like getting oligarch is near impossible lately. Quite annoying if you ask me. Before the war I saw a lot of these but now I don’t even see one for sale.
Nice review. OG
