7 samples of Warm and enveloping natural perfume collection: 6 eau perfume in a 1 ml samples with spray.
Warm, warming, enveloping natural perfumes. Spices and vanilla, silk and cashmere, flowers, honey and balsams.
1) Shiny Amber is sunshine in a bottle. A perfume about summer warm, about glowing resins and sunlight, hidden in the depths of ancient fossilized amber. The warm dence heart amber accord is surrounded by bright sweet citruses and honeylike flowers. It’s main amber accord has been composed with two types of amber: “vegetable amber” – sweet resins of different plants, and “animal amber” – genuine ambergris (here I used tinctured beach harvested ambergris from New Zealand)
The aroma is shimmering with all shades of amber, it warms and relaxes.
If dubbed, the perfume comes as rich and dense amber scent with a bright sweet start. Eau de parfum in spray-form is airy, light and very warm, like a cashmere-silk shawl. Shiny Amber could be the ideal choice to wear when the weather is nasty and gloomy. And it smells magnificent when it’s really cold!
Ginger, lemon, bergamot, yuzu, jasmine, champaka, benzoin, labdanum, vanilla, tonka bean, ambergris
2) Coffee and chocolate – a gourmand perfume. Sun and citruses in the first sip. Tart smoky coffee and bitter spicy chocolate. Time stops in equilibrium point of “now” and “forever”. All you feel is warmth and beat of life. It is a story about a morning glass of orange juice, freshly squeezed and zesty, about a cup of coffee with a biscuit late at night and about a liqueur-filled chocolate candy.
It’s aroma invigorates, brings hedonistic mood, it has tangible warm aura. If put on hair, makes a good sillage.
Bitter orange, frankincense, black pepper, coffee, cocoa, jasmine, roses, vanilla, sandalwood, labdanum, vetiver
3) My vanilla - this woody-balsamic perfume is not about cookies and buns at all. Anti-culinary vanilla, it tells stories of winds from afar, of ship planks, of spices and ardent heat of sand in the sun. Jasmine, orange blossom and ylang ylang create an impression of intoxicating aroma of tropical forest in bloom. Juniper berries and cedars suggest the presence of barrels of rum somewhere around. Dark caramel, resins, tar, fruits, leather – all those edges of vanilla’s smell which is often ignored by culinary aficionados.
It starts bright and spicy, blossoming with heat, gives warmth in the cold, invigorates and inspires.
Black pepper, clove, galbanum, elemi, juniper berry, nutmeg, jasmine, cumin, orange blossom, cardamom, cedarwood, vanilla, tonka bean, sandalwood, orris, agarwood
4) Golden Lavender – a warm lavender perfume, where gold soft silky smooth lavender along with mimosa and cassia goes down to a soft base warmed with spices. Warm golden light, summer delights.
Golden Lavender is a small faithful helper in a fight with gloomy mood and winter blues. Lavender will help to cope with uneasiness, and the flowers will bring joy along.
The perfume embraces like soft cashmere, brings warmth like a glass of hot milk with spices, calms down and gladdens.
Bergamot, cassia, lemon, ginger lily, Bulgarian rose, lavender, jasmine, clary sage, ylang-ylang, rosewood, Peruvian balsam, cinnamon, cardamom, vanilla, angelica, labdanum.
5) Fallen Leaves - an autumn woody-balsamic perfume. Fallen leaves, slowly becoming nothing, almost devoid of festive colors of golden autumn, humid air, an occasional and already warmless ray of late autumn sun, sharp smell of cooling down earth, anguish and hope, while seeing-off warmth.
This perfume will bring nostalgia to ones and calm the others, reconciling them with inevitably approaching winter.
An aromatic bouquet of immortelle, hop and orris twines a comforting cocoon around you in moist air, bringing warmth and peace.
Cistus, frankincense, myrrh, tonka beans, hops, everlasting, Himalayan cedar, patchouli, cardamom, iris, vanilla.
6) Honey and tar
Leather, gourmet fragrance. Winter smell, wrapping in a thick warm cloud. Sweetness if honey and tanginess if tar sing the same song together. Honey that smells not only of summer bee-gardens but also of the salt of far voyages, of resins and wood.
Hop, castoreum, honey absolute, Tonca bean, tar, cardamom, cinnamon, benzoin, vanilla, patchouli, Himalayan сedarwood, sandalwood
7) Winter Blush is a story of winter joys – to redden strolling in a frozen park, to warm up with mulled wine, to eat an orange while it snows outside. The perfume starts with bright accord of oranges; it blossoms with flowers, gets a little spicy with nuances of hard liquors and ends with a balsamic-woody base, warm and dry. There one can find a sea of roses as well as piquancy of spices and soft glow of thick winter wines.
Smell of Winter Blush is a miracle cure for depression any time of day, be it in a morning started on the wrong foot or at a party when all of a sudden you find yourself a little sad with no reason at all. In the cold Winter Blush’s flowers hesitate to show up, but as soon as you get into the warm it’s bright scarlet flowers bloom in all their glory.
A wise choice for a celebration or a party.
Orange, rose, jasmine, cinnamon, cognac, cardamom, vanilla, orris, benzoin, rosewood, cedarwood, labdanum, Peru balsam.

REVIEWS FROM OUR CUSTOMERS AND PERFUME CRITICS:
Luca Turin is one of the most respected fragrance critics in the entire world: «I find Anna Zworykina‘ fragrances very impressive indeed, and largely immune from the mushiness of most natural perfumery. Wisely, she seems to stick to classical forms and puts her skill into making them work optimally. Verdigris, for example, is a resplendent, stonking chypre. You can clearly smell the superb bergamot, cistus and oakmoss singing in harmony. Young Cossack (in Russia Cossacks have a more positive reputation than abroad) is a lovely animalic hay-tonka accord that would make a wonderful masculine, with or without sabre and horse. Her Cuir de Russie is the most eccentric of that name I remember smelling, very floral and less smoky than the usual fare, with a strange and beautiful sweet-green drydown. In the end, empirical evidence prevails: these are perfumes that even a fan of synthetics like me would love to wear.»
Ayala Moriel, Perfumeur: "Anna Zworykina Perfumes' My Vanilla is a juicy bundle of cured vanilla beans whose sweetness is cut by green lentsicus leaves and smouldering incense. Through the thick smoke you can feel an exotic sweetness that is surprisingly floral - not at all gourmand as one would expect from anything containing "vanilla" in its title. It is spicy, exotic, narcotic. While I can see how vanilla migh`t have been a starting point for this fragrance - the result is not vanilla-dominated. Rather, it is a voluptuous oriental, influenced by the bombastic nature of Shalimar: burnt sugar and sweet spices are balanced with intensely smoky and slightly animalic choya nakh (destructive distillation of seashells) smoky-woody cedar to counterpoint the sweetness and pastry association, and perfumed with indolic jasmine and buttery orris and tonka beans. A very interesting addition to my gradually growing list of favourite all-natural perfumes. At first, My Vanilla has a strong, almost heavy presence - yet is utterly enjoyable to wear. The kind of scent that requires a special occasion. But of course like a good oriental, it fades into the softest, sweet whisper of vanilla. "
Erica Golding, «Australian Perfume Junkies» сontributor: "They're really fascinating and unusual and they get locked into your head. I need to try more!"
"All the perfumes of hers that I've smelled were of a similar style and character: sophisticated, intriguing, purely natural, with depth and complexity that is usually achieved by incorporating house-made botanical tinctures."
"These samples are truly excellent. They are complex, sophisticated, and evocative--fine achievements in perfumery! "
«Anna's perfume making skills are amazing. In my pack I chose Fallen Leaves, Wind from mount Kailash, My Vanilla, Second Skin and Green Madness. Every single one of them is a master piece, a journey, a story, a dream. I would like to write about all of them individually, but the review space doesn't allow me to. They are all very curious in their own way, like only handmade perfumes can, but also very strong, so spraying it in the air in front of you and then walking through it is a better choice than spraying them directly on you. Definitely worth the money, and I am yearning to order more. My favourite was Wind from mount Kailash, so herby and thyme-y, but still cold and deep. Like magic in a bottle.»
«Anna Zworykina is not only a perfumer, she is an artist. Her perfumes are liquid art. She is especially good when she works with themes such as sadness, sorrow, things lost, decay and melancholia in her perfumes. The scents are so evocative, unique, creative and beautiful, and of such good quality. Sillage is fabulous, and so is the longevity of her creations.»
«An absolutely precious little collection of stories in a bottle. I have only tried two out of 6 (thank you for the extra sample!), but I am already in love, and I want to make the introductions last a little longer. The fragrances are marvellosuly intricate, interesting, unexpected, made to fuel the imagination. I love the smokiness, the absence of sugar-sweetness. These perfumes are very grown-up, mature, perfectly sophisticated.»
