Russian Tea Oud
Russian Tea Oud by Masque Milano is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with mandarin, spearmint and black tea, moves into cardamom, raspberry, frankincense and saffron and dries down to oud and leather. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
- Spearmint Softer, sweeter mint. Less medicinal than peppermint.
- Black Tea Dry, tannic and smoky. More astringent than green tea.
Heart
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
- Raspberry Tart, jammy and slightly fuzzy. Very popular in modern sweet scents.
- Frankincense Bright, peppery, church-like resin. Lifts and cools a fragrance.
- Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
Dry-down
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
