Lily Jasmine Champaca Coconut Orange Blossom Black Currant Apple
Maybe it's because of the name that Oligarch is not a very popular fragrance in the fragrance community. I'm a little surprised because it definitely deserves more attention. Oligarch is a powerful fragrance, very masculine and as always with Roja Parfums, full of sophistication and quality.
It is a very rich composition, containing many perfectly combined ingredients. You can call it a chypre, but it is certainly a chypre with a modern twist, as there is no vintage overtone here. It opens with a burst of vibrant fruit with tangy citrus (lemon, lime and bergamot) at the top and hints of green apple and blackcurrant. Oligarch is very fresh, but also dignified, because in addition to the citrus and the woody and green accords in the base (cedar, patchouli, oakmoss), the floral accords (sweet orange blossom, lily and champaca), the fragrance also has aromatic aspects thanks to the use of lavender and thyme. All this spiced with a pinch of pink pepper, but which does not stand out and remains in harmony with the other ingredients.
Everything sounds a little sour (gin and tonic vibe thanks to juniper berries) and exotic, but above all very elegant and refined. In summary, it is a very good perfume for a man who knows what he wants and knows how to achieve it.
