    Fragrance -Oligarch Roja Dove
    Bottle from – 2017
    This fragrance reminds me of an accomplished yet spiritual gentleman.
    Oligarch opens on my skin with a fresh,green,a bit fruity and elegant citruses with dominant lemon and with an astonishing touch of clean lavender and a bit herbal thyme.
    As time goes by,during mid development,bouquet of white flowers,with dominant jasmine and orange blossom, starts to emerge and bring some romance into the game.At this point, in the middle,it is all about white flowers and fruity notes with dominant apple and black currant and with a wisper of some kind of green magic.
    This all leads into a woody,leathery,musky,ambery and a bit spicy,powdery and herbal base.
    Oligarch is very complex,classy and sophisticated scent, there is no question about it.
    Longevity – 10/10(10+ hours)
    Silage/Projection – 8/10(heavy to moderate projection and silage for the first 2-3 hours,than sits closer to skin for the duration of the scent’s evolution)
    Weather -best in spring,summer and early autumn
    Age – 25+
    Compliments – 9/10
    Scent – 10/10
    Main notes according to me – lemon,juniper berry,jasmine, orange blossom,lavender,apple,black currant,cedar,spices.
    The drydown is woody,leathery,musky,ambery and a bit spicy, powdery and herbal and I get some -cedar,leather,musk,amber and spices.
    Emotions -accomplished yet spiritual gentleman,classy, sophisticated,profound,distinguished,elegant.
    Occasion -For more or less any ocasion,perfect for special occasions,life defining moments and semi-formal events.
    You’ll get compliments with this one.

    It’s Terre D’Hermes once the initial blast has evaporated after about 10 minutes.

    As others have said, Oligarch smells remarkably similar to Terre D’Hermes, however it opens with a very nice Lemon note, as opposed to TdH’s Orange. Aside from that however, they are strikingly similar. Projection wise Oligarch sits close to the skin, but does last a very long time.
    Whilst I do like Oligarch, I think I’d purchase the Parfum concentration of Terre D’Hermes and save my money.

    But Terre is a chemical brother, but this one is natural Terre. By the way, the Oligarch is better than Terre. 😉
    As I understand this perfume special for Abramovich. If you want to smell like Abramovich (Russian oligarch), then use it. 😉

    Just got it and sprayed it for a quick test. I will have a more in depth review soon. So far it opens up very nicely with a fresh bergamot lemony scent. The middle is pleasantly floral yet masculine due to the apple and coco notes.

    Edit Feb. 2017 – after wearing this perfume consistently I must admit that I am amazed how long the citrus smell stays on skin and even offers a great sillage. Citrus fresh scent is notoriously elusive but somehow Roja managed to keep it going for hours. The perfume is all about citrus superbly complimented by a sweet coco very diffuse scent. I do not get any cedar or leather for that matter. I get tonka sweetness in the dry down. Unfortunately this fragrance is not long lasting and after 2 hours it becomes a soft skin scent. However, fresh citrus scent usually vanishes within minutes, with that in consideration we can say that this perfume has an amazing longevity. I would compare Oligarch to Cedrat Enivrant from Atelier Cologne (caveat: Atelier Cologne is no longer a niche as it was acquired by L’Oréal).
    Scent: 7/10
    Longevity: 7/10 (because of the citrus smell otherwise mediocre longevity)
    Sillage: 5/10
    Cost ratio: 1/10
    Overall: 5/10 – if you are looking for a fresh citrus smell this one is for you but you can get similar (if not better) effect for a fraction of a price with Cedrat Enivrant. I would advise against wasting your money on this one.

    Well l do doubt that any oligarch would typically like this… In other words,how do citrus and freshness represent power,autocracy, money?… I think this should have been leathery tobacco type scent, with some spirit added in good dose. Perhaps it’s new type of oligarch,what do l know?

    The 2016 version of ‘Creed Vetiver Geranium’ with a pronounced fresh lemon note at the top. Its a very fresh scent, and seems bold & strong for about 45minutes. Not long after, Oligarch turns into a skin scent for the rest of its 4-Hour Lifespan. The composition is a EDP, yet does have complexity in the notes. However, I honestly feel for a 50mL at $350 Oligarch only projects 18inches with 4-5sprays… As for longevity on several wears I barely got 4hours then it was unnoticeable. Overall, Roja’s Oligarch is a masculine, fresh and fun scent with a very modern appeal. An office safe scent which could be worn all year around. Good for dates, lunch & dinner outings, but likely better during sunny days around Spring, Summer, Fall.
    For me Oligarch is a fragrance geared towards the niche connoisseur who’s looking to expand their desire for understated luxury. I rate Oligarch 6/10 reason because Its not all that original, lacks longevity, & overly priced. Meanwhile, Creed Vetiver Geranium 100mL testers can be owned for around $120 and last longer, projects better, and is cleaner.

    Lately I have been having my doubts about Roja creations. There have been just too many too keep up with (and the need for, and quality of, some releases have been questionable, too) but apparently not enough yet to stop him from bestowing cringe-worthy names onto his concoctions.
    Whilst his fragrances have thus far not surpassed Kilian’s distastefully dubbed slick n sleazy offerings (who for the most part are impotent at delivering any promised sexual tension and imagination) Roja is undoubtedly in a hurry to get there. I do not wish to bring politics into the fragrance game but in times like these to have the nerve (or the insensitivity) to come up with a name such as Oligarch for a perfume made me raise both eyebrows. I could not help but almost reflexly assumed it would be a £750/100ml juice. The brand must be careful that what it’s primarily associated with remains the fragrance.
    But just like any Russian oligarch worth their salt has undergone a transition from paperboy to caporegime (along with a likely dry down in a cell underneath the Kremlin to round things off) this juice, too, does have dynamic development – something I tremendously enjoy about certain types of fragrances. It starts off similar to Hermes’ Eau de Pamplemousse Rose with the flesh and juice of citrus/grapefruit and orange blossom; here, served on ice and with a little more oomph through pink pepper and a wee more exotica via the coconut cream. Whereas Ellena achieved aromatic rootiness through vetiver in EdPR, Roja (or one of his Robertet underlings, perhaps) allows lavender, anise seeds and juniper berries (something like the chorizo of perfumery these days) to transform Oligarch into a classy and increasingly dry Gin and Tonic. The composition gradually becomes warmer (spices) and more powdery (vanilla) and is enjoyably sensual (ambergris) but I am missing florals, woods and leather beyond the merest homeopathically dosed quantities.
    Oligarch is not too different in intent from Ormonde Jayne’s Black Gold after its Ellena-style opening costing an almost merciful £275/50ml. Longevity and projection are both average.
