Summarized by Shop
Out there, the snow-covered Nevsky Prospekt, and a sumptuous Art Noveau building. Inside, a large bookstore. And, on the first floor, an elegant cafè. As water is poured in the cup, the infusion unleashes its most characteristic notes. Black tea, heavy and intense. A floral note, sharp and biting. And that unmistakably dry and smoky aft

Russian tea
Phenomenal scent. I didn’t think I’d like it as much as I did. Tea note is prominent. A little sweet and very smooth. Fantastic scent that can worn all year round.

I’m a yes!
I was hesitant to try this one because of some of the reviews, but I’m so glad I did! It is rare that Ascent is so specifically unique. I bought a full bottle the day after I tried it. It’s complex. Something about the floral notes give it a non-fem soap with like an earthy hint of bulgar. It is a really lovely scent! Likely to be a fall staple <3
