FAQFAQ
The Russian market is one that unabashedly indulges in the extravagance of perfume. A keen awareness of one’s outward persona typically results in a desire to look and smell the best. Roja Parfums is a sans pareil brand that has been helping the most fashionable achieve this result for well over a decade. From the unparalleled Creation-E to the exclusive L’Oscar, Roja Parfums is deserving of its reputation and success within the industry. A gem within the collection also deserving of praise is Oligarch. Created for the world’s largest nation, Oligarch is an expression of the finest raw materials a perfume could possibly contain. We happened upon this realization as we set out to compose our own iteration of this modern masterpiece. Our inspired expression is boldly named The Monarch. Like the head of a dynasty that reigns supreme over a nation, The Monarch is a scent to end all scents. As versatile as they come, this intricate blend will have you coming back for more. This modern chypré bears a lavish citrus opening that parades around woodsy accents of cedar and juniper. Surrounding the heart are exotic florals like champaca and jasmine that beguile the wearer with their innocent demeanor. Their complexity and potential is fulfilled when herbs and spices complete a widely drawn arc of notes that extends to include oakmoss, vanilla, birch, leather, and ambergris in the base. In the words of Gianni Versace, “In the past, people were born royal. Nowadays, royalty comes from what you do.” The Monarch is a fragrance whose scent speaks louder than words.
DUA fragrance is made to last up to 6-8 hours, sometimes even better than originals.
Our inspired fragrance is budget-friendly because we skip the luxury brand markups and fancy packaging that come with the original. Instead, we focus on what really matters...the juice inside the bottle.

It shares the lounge-like warmth of Replica Jazz, while also appealing to those who enjoy Tobacco Vanille by Tom Ford or the textural depth found in Le Labo creations. As a Maison Margiela Jazz Club dupe, it feels smoother and more intimate than many louder tobacco perfumes.

You should absolutely buy this some fragrances can smell cheap I would put this in the category of smelling expensive always get a compliment everytime I wear it
Amazing fragrance! Never smelled the Roja one but I do have Roja Midsummer Dream and various samples from lucky scent of some of his others. I’m very impressed at the depth and quality of this one. It’s quite the olfactory experience. If you like Aventus you might like this it’s got that mojo to it but its scent profile is vastly different. Lasts a long time too! I like this kind of rich complex fragrance.
Wonderful fragrance. If you are looking for something similar to Oligarch, here is something practically the same in aroma and quality. In addition, I received four decants as a gift
Beautiful.. I have not seen mentiond n not even on fragrantica or anywhere which is nuts it's not in the like section its a dead ringer for Creed Vetiver Geranium!!! Which im almost out of so thats fine. Its like an amped up denser version per say in its own way. But def that profile. I been on fragrantica for years n never made an account to comment I honestly should bc I could be so helpful. Million people saying the og smells like hermes terre but if dua nailed it like they normally do I say its Creed VG vibes more fyi.
This is the fragrance Roja should have kept as I have both Zakat Al Fajr and Le Falcone Risala Autograph 2 awesome versions of Isola Blue but the subtle difference between them and Oligrch is what makes The Monarch a cut above
The Monarch is a bold, charismatic chypre that pays tribute to Roja’s Oligarch with unmistakable flair. It opens with a vibrant citrus burst—lime, bergamot, lemon—that feels crisp and commanding. The herbal heart and dry florals add tailored elegance, while the oakmoss, patchouli, and leather base ground it in classic chypre sophistication.
Where Oligarch is smooth and reserved, The Monarch steps forward with clarity and presence. It’s refined, but not shy—built for those who appreciate Roja’s structure and want it to speak a little louder.
For collectors who love chypres with backbone and charm, The Monarch is a confident, high-performance homage that earns its place.
Smells so closely to Oligarch by Roja! I'm so happy to have this. Needs to sit for 2 weeks at least for maximum performance. But at first spray it smelled wonderful so u know it will be even better.
Es increíble la potencia (es una burbuja de 4 metros) y la alta calidad de ingredientes de este perfume, huele muy natural lo que más me gustó es ése olor a sacate recién cortado. Como dato curioso cuando lo uso mis amig@s me dicen que si traigo el Creed Aventus. Por alguna extraña razón lo confunden pero igual les encanta!!!
Great Stuff
I have two decants of actual Roja Oligarch and I will say this stuff is VERY close to them! Opening is a bit harsher but has nearly the same smell and the dry down is great. Also lasts a bit longer than Oligarch. Only complaint is that I don't have more of it LOL
The Monarch is my favorite fragrance. This is the third or fourth time I have purchased this. I have also given to three of my friends. They love it too. It is the best spelling stuff.
This is pretty special and it’s pretty darn close to Rojas Oligarch I would say on the dry down it’s in the high 90s%.
I find this classy yet with a modern twist for the middle aged confident guy…it screams of a man who knows what he wants and how he’s getting it.
Winner for me.
El olor de los reyes en una botella
Es una aroma dulce bien equilibrado, ni muy femenino, ni tampoco tan masculino, dua la clavo en el punto exacto y nos trae otra obra de arte para disfrutar y que sigamos siendo adictos. Bien hecho💪💪💪💪
What you all waiting to buy it!!
This fragrance is pure class, fresh, elegant, and long lasting. It has been my favorite Fragrance for right now!!
Thanks for making this fragrance.
The scent is spot on.. This is a great summer scent.., Very masculine and fresh… I received 2 compliments the first day I wore this .. no maceration needed. Feel like a million bucks when I wear this thanks to your team for making this possible
I like this fragrance. Highly recommended. Dua, as always, doing a great job. Thank you for giving me the option of using high-end perfume clones at a reasonable price.
Better Version of the Original
I bought The Monarch first, before Oligarch. I purchased it based on reviews of Oligarch on fragrance websites as well as YouTube. It sounded like it would fit me perfectly and the price made it an easy choice for Monarch to check it out. Immediately loved it and It quickly became my office go-to. Amazing scent bubble and longevity was 10-12 hours. Recently ordered an exploration pack from RDP which included Oligarch. Scent wise it is very nice but compared to The Monarch is dialed back to maybe 60-70% in both sillage and longevity. Now 3 hours after applying Oligarch it is a skin scent although still quite nice. The Monarch reigns supreme and is an improvement on the original. Respect to RDP for all he/they do and for being the inspiration for this exceptional rendition of their art.
One of a kind
I'll be honest, I didn't like this at first and hadn't worn it at all. Almost 6 months later, out of curiosity and almost forgetting what it even smelled like, it seems to be a new fragrance entirely.
First time I smelled, I thought the floral notes were too much and made it feminine. Now, the florals are calming down a bit, which has given it a much more citrus opening. The floral notes are still there. They just aren't the main story with this one.
It's a VERY complex scent. Give it time. Mine took almost 6 months before it became something I'd wear. It's also crazy potent. One spray on the back of my neck, rub it on my wrists and clothes near my collarbone, and that's enough. This one will clear rooms if you over do it.
Sex Machine
Yes, I said it! Sex machine. This dose of liquid Parum is on point. Blind buy guarantee to love or like it. Just do it. Just awesome. It has a scent of being clean with an odor of dirty musk. Very unique.
