Imperial Russia rendered in citrus and spice. Winter Palace opens with bright bitter orange before settling into a warm heart of orange blossom, cardamom, and saffron, finishing with benzoin and sandalwood. Aristocratic and comforting — like drinking spiced tea in a gilded salon while snow falls outside.
