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.

The old oligarch... / The realization! / Comparison Isola Blu vs Oligarch (perfume) / Oligarch Masterpiece and the Isola Blu naja....

Hello everyone,

now finally after xx years I have dared to try the wide range of certain fragrances from Roja Dove, the Isola Blu Parfum and not the Isola Blu, but the old Oligarch and NOT as EDP, but as perfume!
(There weren't many, but I only found this out later)

I had a (there) remaining bottle of the old Oligarch in the perfume version (not EDP) x years ago and I gave it away back then and I still remember very well how I regretted selling it for a long time. (Now I have an almost full one)

Why did I regret it?

I really liked the consistent and different way. Because he doesn't just keep it short with 1,2,3 citrusy notes and with 1,2 flowers like most do (some better and some less good) , but he takes a different approach.

The second (interesting) back story:

I have heard it this way (several times, let me correct it if it is wrong), the oligarch was no longer allowed to be called oligarch because of the Russia - Ukraine conflict and therefore due to certain "ambiguities", therefore he was hired and in his place came the Isola Blu, which was (noticeably) adapted - but more about that later!
What is the old Oligarch (perfume) actually like?
At the end of the day, it's enough to say citrusy, slightly metallic and insanely complex, but that alone doesn't do it justice. We have here a good portion of fresh and fruity citrus in an XXL portion (and that is not an understatement) in a high-quality, beautiful, noble and NOT synthetic vein.

After that comes my "LOVE PHASE", then something quite crazy happens, the citrus bomb becomes a Reflection Man many, many years ago - in 2015/ 2016 they said something like clean, metallic cold and almost sterile (but in beautiful!) and combination makes it a real masterpiece - so much for the impression and the realization!

The comparison!

The back story is well known, now to the Isola Blu. In the course of the adjustment and adaptation according to IFRA, it felt completely renewed and much was replaced and much is now noticeably on a synthetic basis. That doesn't have to be a bad thing - certainly not, with an extremely good tuning it can be very good. I don't want to (!) say that Roja Dove has done it wrong, but the Isola Blu has a somewhat.... on the one hand, they went the entry-level friendly route and the synthetic notes in the Isola Blu are not mine!
So if you do, then use an old Oligarch as a perfume and NOT Isola Blu. A comparison almost borders on an oligarch insult^^.

How is it received:

My old oligarch back then as well as my current oligarch from 2021 (one of the last!) are really incredibly well received. Whether women or men in the age range of 20, 40 or 60+, all of them love it!
When and where to wear it?

Yes, I could now say office and yes that would definitely fit, but it really always goes and always fits (no matter what season or occasion), if there is still enough of it in the formula as a perfume I would get 10 bottles! That's how good I think it is!
If I really wasn't convinced, I wouldn't recommend it to you!

And now have a nice day/evening, or whatever you read this review, LG the Benny

Best freshie I've smelled so far

I've wanted to try the Roja fragrances for a long time. Or at least a few of them. When I looked at the fragrance pyramids, I kept thinking about what these perfumes must smell like if they have so many different ingredients.

With "Isola Blu (perfume) / Oligarch (perfume) | Roja Parfums", I now know what it smells like. I wanted to try it once before. Back then it was still called Oligarch. The name was quickly replaced. But then I couldn't find it again. I probably didn't look hard enough. In the meantime, I forgot that I wanted to try this fragrance. But now the time had come.
The Isola Blu Parfum begins with a very fine, not at all pungent, but tangy and fruity citrus. This citrus is the reason why I also find that the fragrance smells a little fruity. In between, it is a little soapy and spicy, but just right. However, it is very multi-layered and becomes a little heavier and also a little sweet as it progresses. Frankly speaking, however, it is extremely difficult to recognize certain fragrance notes. You might think that this fragrance is almost perfectly blended when you think about how many different ingredients are listed here. And you don't get the feeling that any two components are clashing and don't smell right, nor do you get the feeling that it's all too much of a good thing. Because the fragrance is not overpowering. It is still pleasantly gentle.

However, this does not mean that it has little power. Its longevity and sillage are very good for a fresh, citrusy fragrance. It wears well in spring and summer, preferably on a man. I also find that it can be worn almost regardless of the occasion. I could even imagine wearing a delicate spritz of it to the gym, if my already expensive little bottle wasn't too expensive for that. The only thing that speaks against ordering this fragrance immediately is its really high price.

But it is an absolutely first-class fragrance. You should have smelled Isola Blu Parfum at some point.

Roja typically has many fragrances that create a good overall picture

Isola Blu is a typical Roja fragrance with many scents.
Here too, however, the overall picture is good.
It doesn't overwhelm, but simply fits together well.
With Isola Blu, we naturally get a fragrance that is perfect for spring or summer.
Citrus-fresh impressions, pleasantly spicy & greenish.

The fragrance features lime as the main player in the top note.
A perceived mixture of lime juice and lime zest.
There is also some bergamot and lemon.

Over time, a very subtle "sweetness" is added. Furthermore, floral notes add a certain depth and fit perfectly into the overall picture.
There is also a slightly soapy impression, as well as a greenish vibe and a great matching spiciness.

Towards the end, pleasant woody impressions are added.

Many people always claim to get associations with toilet cleaner and co.
I can really only begin to understand that.

All in all, this is a Roja that I really like a lot.
In summer it's just "awesome".

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.
