About This Perfume
Roja Oligarch comes across as bright citrus orchard with creamy florals and a subtle woody warmth. It opens with lime, bergamot and lavender, moves into blackcurrant, champaca and orange blossom and settles on juniper berry, cedarwood and grass. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
It is best in spring, summer and fall and is a daytime scent. A good pick for casual days. Released in 2016.
In the community's experience it lasts well into the evening, and projects strongly and fills a room.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something woody and aromatic for casual days.
- Sample first if: you prefer quiet scents; it projects.
- Skip if: you dislike fresh fragrances.

The Brand
Roja
Roja has 183 perfumes indexed on Scendira, Scendira's highest-priced brand by a wide margin. The six most-common accords are woody (109 perfumes), citrus (56), amber (52), aromatic (44), powdery (39), and warm-spiced (35), built on bergamot, jasmine, rose, musk, patchouli, and vanilla. Prices run $129.95 to $3,500, with a $500 median, luxury pricing throughout. 65% of the range reads unisex. By community mentions, Elysium Noir leads clearly, followed by Burlington 1819, then a tight cluster of Oceania, Apex, and Enigma. Roja Dove is a British luxury perfumer, and the catalogue reflects that: aromatic-citrus openings on a woody, powdery base, in the register of a serious, old-world perfume house rather than a mass-market Gulf brand.
