Bleu de Chanel perfume in noble?

Many compare the fragrance with TdH, but it somehow reminds me strongly of the perfume of Bleu de Chanel. The Isola Blu starts with a nice fresh citrus, without being too boringly fresh. In the dry down, the fragrance develops more and more depth and becomes a bit spicier and even develops a slight woodiness for me. In short, really nice! But for me, it's just not worth the money.... According to my nose, it is simply the nobler, more complex and deeper Bleu de Chanel. A good fragrance, no question, but I just can't justify paying so much for such a fragrance. For this he blows me by far not enough from the stool.

Nor is it a "summer in a bottle" scent for me. Due to the spice / depth / woodiness I see him rather in the spring or even autumn, but not on the really hot days. He just does not provide the refreshment that I expect from a summer fragrance.

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.

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.
