Anna's blends are more like smell experiences or perfume escapes, pure fun for connoisseurs looking for something beyond perfumes created with the help of modern synthetic materials.
Being natural only blends, the perfumes have a very peculiar projection: close to skin, quiet but excitingly complex upon a closer sniff.
Please note: 15 ml and 8 ml EdPs come with a spray and the 4.5 ml perfume comes in a tiny splash bottle.

Please be aware that natural perfumery has to be patch tested before continual wear.

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.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is a fragrance for close range and quiet confidence: the kind of scent that reads as a warm, polished aura rather than a statement trail. It suits an intimate setting where its citrus sparkle and resinous depth can be noticed up close, with a sensual, slightly old-world edge.
How to wear
Best in mild to cool weather, though its citrus lift keeps it wearable beyond the usual amber season. Apply lightly, ideally to fabric or with a restrained touch on skin, since the composition is designed to stay close and reveal its complexity gradually. On air it feels brighter and more radiant; on fabric it turns denser and more resinous.
Who it’s for
For lovers of natural perfumery, vintage-style ambers and woody resin compositions with a bright citrus opening. It will appeal to people who prefer intimate projection, tactile materials and a sensual amber that feels luminous rather than heavy.

The nose
Anna Zworykina is the founder and sole perfumer behind Anna Zworykina Perfumes, an artisan natural house known for working with essential oils, absolutes, CO2 extracts and tinctures rather than synthetics. Her style leans toward vivid, tactile compositions that feel like olfactory scenes rather than conventional formulas. In Shiny Amber, that approach shows in the contrast between sparkling citrus and deep resin: the fragrance uses ambergris, benzoin, labdanum and vanilla to create a glowing amber effect that feels both old-school and unusually airy. It reflects her interest in natural materials with strong texture and a distinctive, hand-built character.
Anna Zworykina’s story
Anna Zworykina Perfumes is a small natural perfumery house built around hand-crafted compositions and a wide palette of botanical materials, with occasional animal-derived ingredients used where they serve the concept. The brand treats perfume as an artistic, sensory medium: intimate, material-driven and deliberately removed from mass-market synthetic polish.
Shiny Amber’s concept
Shiny Amber was launched as a natural amber fragrance meant to evoke summer warmth, sunlight and glowing resins. Its concept pairs vegetable amber materials such as benzoin and labdanum with genuine ambergris tincture, creating a bright, shimmering take on a vintage amber style rather than a heavy winter one.
Extra info
Shiny Amber is part of Anna Zworykina’s regular collection and remains in production. It is built around real ambergris tincture from New Zealand beaches, a detail that gives the fragrance its distinctive natural amber character. It is also available in spray form and as a small dab bottle.
