Hue (the town of the dead kings) is a city as well as a complex expanse of ancient ruins in central Vietnam.
The perfume is a super layered smellscape with scented references to the warm humid winds from the tropical sea, forest rivers teeming with crocodiles and creatures one would rather not meet, lush and shady jungle, ancient stones under scrorching sun and offerings of fruit bathing in mystical incense.
There around 30 natural ingredients in the formula, including very rate ones such as clay attar, seaweed and choya varieties. Choya Nakh for instance is what you get when you distill crushed sea shells.

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
Hue suits an unhurried afternoon when the air feels heavy and the pace slows. Its seaweed, mineral earth and incense suggest the shaded side of old stone walls after crossing a sunlit courtyard: a contemplative presence with humid greenery beneath its dark woods.
How to wear
Warm weather can make Hue’s tropical landscape especially convincing; it need not be reserved for cold months. Follow the maker’s advice to apply sparingly to a sleeve or scarf rather than spraying a cloud or applying directly to skin. Test an inconspicuous area of fabric first, and review the ingredients if you have sensitivities.
Who it’s for
For those drawn to mineral, mossy and saline textures within woody fragrances. Hue rewards a taste for unconventional natural perfumery, where oud and incense share space with seaweed, clay and lush vegetation rather than polished sweetness.
Release year
2010 (or 2011)
The nose
Anna Zworykina is an independent natural perfumer with a background in biochemistry. Her compositions treat fragrance as a sensory landscape, using essential oils, absolutes and unusual natural extracts to build texture and atmosphere. In Hue, that approach becomes a densely layered portrait of stone, water, vegetation and incense rather than a conventional woody perfume.
Anna Zworykina’s story
Anna Zworykina makes artisanal, all-natural perfumes conceived as smell experiences rather than accessories to prevailing tastes. The house combines careful work with natural materials and a self-described perfume-punk spirit: personal freedom, imaginative expression and compositions that invite attentive exploration.
Hue’s concept
Hue takes its name and inspiration from Vietnam’s former imperial capital. Its landscape brings together weathered masonry, mossy roofs, green ponds, dark wooden pavilions and incense-marked walls. Part of the house’s Gothic collection, it explores the atmosphere of an ancient city through mineral, vegetal and resinous textures.
Extra info
Hue contains approximately 30 natural ingredients, including mango leaf, seaweed, clay attar and unusual choya materials. Choya nakh is made by distilling crushed seashells, an unexpected material in a composition built around tropical ruins and waterways.
