Masque Milano Russian Tea – Decant

Picture a samovar steaming in a snow-bound dacha, where tea is ceremony and every sip carries the weight of tradition and the warmth of survival. Russian Tea opens with mint cool and bracing, frosty-fresh like winter air through pine forests. Black pepper sparks sharp and woody-spicy, adding heat against the cold, while raspberry brings tart-sweet brightness, jewel-toned fruit with slight jammy richness. The opening is contrast perfected - ice and fire, fruit and frost, invigorating and unexpected.At its heart, black tea unfolds smoky and tannic, dark leaves steeped strong with bergamot whispers and leather undertones, the soul of Russian caravan blends. Magnolia blooms creamy-white and lemony-fresh, champagne elegance with subtle spice, while everlasting flower (immortelle) adds curry-like warmth, maple-syrup sweetness and hay-dried earthiness. The heart is where East meets refinement, where tea becomes meditation.In the final warmth, leather accord brings supple, smoky richness - worn saddles and tobacco with animalic depth. Incense smolders resinous and church-sacred, frankincense smoke with mystical solemnity, birchwood adds tar-like smokiness, slightly medicinal with campfire darkness, while cistus-labdanum brings amber-resinous warmth, leathery-sweet with rock rose complexity. The base is Orthodox incense meets Siberian forest, sacred and wild, dark and enveloping.Russian Tea isn't just a fragrance; it's ritual in every spray. Note Breakdown
