The Jade line

Perfumer: Nathale Lorson

In this formula velvety woods meet for dark smooth coffee and take their time lounging in the spicy vetiver shade.

Honey Oud opens with a gourmand accord of English honey and vanilla which combine to add a velvet softness to the oud oil and accentuate the rose at the heart of this complex fragrance.

The exclusive fragrance is created with oud oil from a certified sustainable source of agarwood.

Honey, rose and boozy vanilla combine in a delectable amber that turns sticky into licky. This eau de parfum blends an abundance of golden honey and the warmth of rum with an irresistibly addictive vanilla absolute. Damask rose and pink pepper unfolds into the warmth of tonka bean absolute and benzoin resinoid, beckoning anyone who approaches with seductive allure. Patchouli and orcanox adds further depth, revealing darker tones that envelop the room with a euphoric embrace.

A towering, skyscraper-sized beehive, dripping with honey. See the bee, be the bee. That’s you, waggling your cute black’n’yellow striped booty in a dance through a golden flow of labdanum and leathery orange blossom with powdery mini-explosions of mimosa, tonka and heliotrope. Buzz!

Olfactory opulance conjures the Palace of Versailles in its heyday when Louis XIV and his Court would amble the Grand Orangery to delight in the flowering orange trees warmed by bonfires. This is a bright orange blossom with a warm, woody background, with notes of orange blossom absolute, pomegranate, honey and firewood smoke.

An explosive, colourful, unconventional twist on the juicy, fruity fragrance profile. Juice | Balanced & Expressive centers on succulent, vibrant fruits, paired with Bulgarian rose and fresh Cyclamen to add bloom and breath. Amberwood brings modernity and depth.

This is the Balanced & Expressive version of Juice, with a noticeable projection that’ll make a mark, not a scene. Also try Juice | Personal and Juice | Bold.

This is a more transparent, floral expression of Juice | Balanced. It's sheer and intimate, like a halo of fruity floral essence rather than an explosive blast. The silken woods and watery jasmine soften the juicy ripeness of the fruits. Musk adds a cozy airiness that's both comforting and sensual." — perfumer Nathalie Benareau

This is the Personal version of Juice, for those who prefer a subtle, intimately-projecting fragrance that invites closeness. Also try Juice | Balanced & Expressive and Juice | Bold.

A rich, smoky blend of honey, tar, vanilla and incense.

The perfumer leaves the perfume plot sketchy - to be completed by your imagination. Are you in your autumn apiary watching honey trickle into jars, smoke lingering in the air from bonfires of fallen leaves? Are you on the well-tarred deck of a merchant ship carrying huge barrels of honey? This beautiful, smoky fragrance will definitely take you somewhere.

Important notice:

Anna Zworykina’s blends are olfactive smellscapes (but neither aromatherapy, nor ‘spray-and-go’ perfumes). Her blends are sensory experiences, closer to works of art created in the scented plane (rather than, say, visual or audio).

Certain essential oils and absolutes that are used in her 100% natural perfumes may potentially cause allergies in some people. Please spray Anna Zworykina’s blends on fabric (on sleeves, scarves, etc.). This said, Anna Zworykina has acquired a huge fan base over many years and people interacted with her blends for quite a while now. We are not aware of any reports of any skin reactions so far.

However, Anna advises that those who are prone to allergic reactions, pregnant and nursing women, as well as people with chronic illnesses to be extra careful. Before trying natural blends, study the list of ingredients and consult with a doctor if you are not sure or a had a history of allergies. If you do decide to put these blends on your skin (unable to resist the temptation) always test the blend on the inside part of your elbow first and wait.

Do not spray these blends liberally as a cloud in the way you would spray a conventional perfume. Anna’s smellscapes need to be… carefully applied and experienced. Be mindful that some oils can also make your skin hyper-sensitive to UV.

Mooncake is a scent of sweet nostalgia—a warm, golden crust giving way to a luscious center of salted egg yolk. Shared during Mid-Autumn Festival, this beloved honey and mung bean treat marks memories of childhood joy and cherished tradition.
