Extorting compliments
An amazing perfume, both its opening and its drying are amazing.
It's so luxurious that every time I wear it, I imagine I'm on a luxury yacht.
Suitable for summer and spring mainly, I really like it.

Interesting notes of grass, lime , Blackcurrant, champaca flower and coconut take this perfume to very special places.

And his presentation is so amazing!

Of course this is a renewal of the old perfume Oligarch Eau de Parfum .

Definitely worth the price tag.

8.5/10.

They are called luxury brands
How can you call something luxury overpriced? It means you are not interested in the product.

Roja as we know is a high brand, like any other luxury brand, so the word overpriced makes no sense.

The big problem with reviews is not being focused in the context of a product.

Finally I can say that as an owner of hundreds of perfumes, from the most indie to the most luxury, this is an exceptional work, perfectly balanced (not like those horrible clones) by a nose who has worked a lifetime for quality and to achieve almost perfection in his works.

Simple does not mean banal or overpriced, on the contrary, well-made simplicity is the most difficult thing to do, but objectively, all Roja works can boast of their ethereal beauty

Ps.

this doesn't even remotely resemble Hermes (respect the work) but not in 1000 years

The original one, Oligarch.
Oligarch is a fragrance for a true oligarch, who spends summer vacations on his yacht in the most enchanting locations overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.
Fresh, citrusy, crisp and aromatic.
As in all Roja creations, it is difficult to separate the various notes that compose them, but I can say that juniper, citrus and pink pepper are well perceived.
The woody structure holds all the volatile components very well, providing truly remarkable longevity for the type of fragrance.
Despite not being a lover of the genre, I must say that I like it very much: it is fresh, clean, but at the same time has depth.

14 Swarovski cap, engravings and gold plate.

PPS: Oligarch was discontinued due to the war between Russia and Ukraine and was put back on the market under the name of "Isola Blu"... But the original it's only one.

Bracing, for impact
I tend to like smooth, mellow, velvety fresh scents - ones where the sharp, spiky citrus highs get toned down and mellowed out.

Isola Blu is NOT that kind of fragrance.

As always with Roja fragrances, almost the entirety of the list of 50,000 notes is utterly indistinguishable to my nose. Is there birch in there? Grass? Maté? I mean, I guess so, but it's either all so blended together or my nose is so amateurish that I can't find 99% of the individual notes.

But you DO get a sharp, ferocious, cold blast of citrus right upfront. It reads more like citrus peel than citrus juice to me - this is a very dry fragrance to my nose. It isn't unpleasant, but it is a little bit unforgiving and unyielding.

I understand why people associate this with Terre d'Hermes, because the lime and bergamot opening ends up coming across to me very similarly to the grapefruit in TdH.

After 15 or so minutes, it does calm down a bit and relaxes into something only slightly more approachable. Once that citrus opening eases up, the rest of the notes get a chance to talk. It's green and herbal, and stays bone-dry throughout the wear (which, on me, is about 8 hours). As always, Roja ingredient quality shines: you can "smell the quality" here.

This is an iron fist in a silk glove. I have come to appreciate it quite a bit, and it fills a distinct role in my collection, but I think it's a harder fragrance to love than something like Elysium.

Loud citrus on a bed of oakmoss. Wife thought I smelled of Comet cleaning powder. Why's this $485?

Clearly has Roja's signature (same musks as in Oceania). Mature-masculine vibe. Mostly citrusy & fresh, tad musky. Performance is just okay.

Similar to Oligarch but a little rounder. In the opening, citrus is less pungent and spices are weaker. Drydown is TdH with Roja quality.

TdH is already magnificent and well-curated. This is just as nice, but simply redundant.

Roja typical basic DNA with some parallels to A Midsummer Dream. Undoubtedly a great scent, but the price is exorbitant

Can see the TdH connection but still very elegant and complex. A masterpiece made by Roja!
