Russian Tea Oud

Which Should You Buy?
This one's a divisive dark horse. Some reckon it's a classy, unique leather-tea blend, a more serious take on the original Solo. Others find it an absolute scrubber, akin to 'toilet spray' or a 'dusty gymnasium'. Try before you buy, unless you're a gambling man.
This one's a bit of a curveball. If you’re expecting the original Russian Tea, brace yourself for a smoky, woody beast that swaps delicate nuances for a hefty oud punch. It's bold and unique, but certainly not for everyone.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
With its moderate performance and elegant leather-tea profile, this scent is ideal for office and formal wear, where refinement is key. It's also well-suited for dates due to its sensual character, but its richer accords make it less versatile for casual daytime or sport.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
The strong, smoky and woody accords, particularly the oud, make this scent perhaps too assertive for an office environment. However, its unique and sophisticated character lends itself well to special occasions or evenings where you want to make a memorable statement.
