Julien Rasquinet created a new Russian tea infused with oud. “I chose to work with oud oil from Vietnam for its unique mysterious woody facet. This ingredient adds an animalic, comforting, and creative oriental touch. I took all the signature notes of Russian tea and intensified them with oud. By exchanging afternoon tea for night tea with its smoky, leathery accord, I wanted Russian oud to convey this very mysterious woody addiction.” Julien Rasquinet
