The story behind the bottle.
Oligarch by Roja Dove, launched in 2016, is a chypre fragrance that merges the freshness of citrus and aromatic notes with a rich blend of woody and spicy accords. Created by perfumer Roja Dove, this composition opens with lemon, bergamot, and lime before transitioning into lavender and thyme, giving way to black currant and apple for a fruity warmth. As it evolves, the scent reveals orange blossom, jasmine, and coconut, grounded by cedar, oakmoss, and leather, finishing with tonka bean, musk, and vanilla. The result is a complex blend that captures both the sharpness of contemporary luxury and the depth of lasting elegance.
Apply Oligarch sparingly at first; the fragrance develops gradually over time. The citrus notes are fleeting but vibrant, while the base notes of leather and vanilla create a lasting warmth close to skin.
