Russian Tea (EDP)

"Russian Tea is a niche unisex eau de parfum released in 2014 by Masque Milano. Created by Julien Rasquinet, it is built around the idea of a Russian tea ritual, pairing the smell of black tea with cool mint, soft fruit, smoke, leather, and woods. The fragrance opens with an unusual contrast of brisk freshness and dark intensity, then settles into a smoky tea heart with floral and herbal nuances. Its overall character is leathery, aromatic, woody, and faintly resinous, with a memorable balance between bitterness, warmth, and a touch of raspberry sweetness. Reviews and retailer descriptions consistently portray it as distinctive, atmospheric, and more artistic than crowd-pleasing. It is often associated with cold-weather elegance, introspection, and a refined but unconventional style."
