A lot of things habe been said about this perfume and I do not want to repeat them all over again.
This perfume has a ton of notes and you can tell the complexity it has after all the changes happening from dry-down to the later stages.
The sillage is absolutely great, it is noticeable for many hours and as a skin scent will stay up to 24 hours on my skin. The comparison with TdH is a bit forced, they share a blast of citruses in top notes and then few minutes later, they become different scents :
- TdH is woody earthy with a bubbly type of notes, a bit loud and stays with an earthy character, classy for the rest of the longevity.
- Oligarch is subtle, starts with lots of citruses and then stays subtle, but very easy to smell and will become a classy perfume bubble around you.
It is considered a chypre but I see it more as a fougere, very similar to Fougere Royale from Houbigant and the 2010 version was also co-created by ROJA Dove, that is why (in my opinion) they have similarities and both smell very classy and luxurious.
Oligarch is hyped for a good reason and it is one of ROJAs best releases.
