RUSSIAN TEA is an extraordinary and profoundly atmospheric Eau de Parfum from the celebrated Opera Collection, envisioned by Alessandro Brun and Riccardo Tedeschi as a sensory memory of a journey through Russia. This fragrance captures the ritual of the “Russian Tea”—the steam rising from a samovar inside a sumptuous Art Nouveau bookstore. First, it arrests the senses with a spirited strike of Fresh Mint and Black Pepper, sweetened by a touch of Raspberry, providing an immediate rush of bracing, cold-weather clarity. Consequently, it creates an atmosphere of noble solitude and intellectual warmth. This perfume offers a groundbreaking experience for the individual who values stories written in smoke and shadows. Furthermore, it acts as a landmark of “Dry Woods,” weaving the bitterness of leather with the sacred scent of a distant campfire.

The fragrance unfolds as a cinematic journey through light and burnt embers. First, it opens with a radiant, zesty mintiness, setting a vibrant and uplifting tone against the bitter pepper. Next, it transitions into a sophisticated heart where Black Tea and Immortelle (Everlasting Flower) intertwine with Magnolia, creating a dense, floral bridge of poetic and smoky intensity. Finally, it settles into a majestic base of Leather, Incense, and Birchwood, softened by Cistus-Labdanum. This composition is structured with the artistic audacity and evocative precision that defines Julien Rasquinet’s genius. Therefore, it provides a persistent, regal sillage that makes you feel uniquely introspective and powerful, as if gazing out at a snow-covered cathedral from a window of refined comfort.
