Masque Milano Russian Tea is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014, created by Julien Rasquinet. Russian Tea opens with Pepper, Raspberry, and Mint, settles into a heart of Immortelle, Magnolia, and Tea, and dries down to a base of Leather, Birch, Labdanum, and Incense. Masque Milano's Russian Tea carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

A divisive, shape-shifting beast that some adore and others find utterly unwearable. This isn't your light, airy cuppa; it's a dark, leathery, smoky brew with a polarising fresh kick. Expect controversy, but if it sings on your skin, it's truly magical and unique.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its strong projection and unique, complex character, especially the prominent leather and smoke, make it less suited for a conservative office. However, its sophisticated and mysterious aura, combined with decent longevity, is perfect for dates, cooler weather casual wear, and even formal events where you want to stand out.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Imagine inhaling deep from a steaming mug of strong black tea brewed with fresh mint leaves and a hint of wild raspberry, then swirling it with the rich, smoky scent of birch tar and worn leather. A complex interplay of green, fresh spice, and amber unfolds. It builds in warmth and depth, with labdanum and subtle immortelle adding a honeyed, herbal sweetness beneath the dominant smoky tea and leather.
