What does I-III Russian Tea smell like?

It opens fresh and fruity with mint and raspberry, while black pepper adds spice. The heart turns softly floral and green with everlasting flower, magnolia and black tea. It dries down resinous and warm with frankincense and labdanum, and birch wood and leather pull it toward smoke.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with evenings and leisure time leading. Most voters read it as masculine, though many call it feminine. The Merchant Of Venice La Fenice pour Homme and Illuminum Piper Leather have a close profile.
