Another exciting smellscape: antique Venice, with all its magical beauty to the eye and reality to the nose. In Venetian Red you have smells of damp plaster, old bricks, slow green water in the canals and swift azure tides of the lagoon. You also have ancient attics full of sea air and treasure chests forgotten there since the times of Marco Polo. You have dust which is part glory of the Venetian republic, part decomposed brocade and maps of the world circa 15th century.

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
An unhurried afternoon among water-worn brick and timber, with salt air caught in a scarf. Its marine earthiness and leathery woods suggest a contemplative presence rather than polished formality; the rose brings a warmer, more intimate counterpoint to the damp surroundings.
How to wear
Explore it in cooler weather for a more pronounced woody foundation, or in warmth when the rose becomes more prominent. Apply sparingly to a sleeve or scarf rather than spraying a cloud, testing an inconspicuous area for staining first. The house recommends fabric application and particular caution for anyone with fragrance allergies; natural extracts can also increase skin sensitivity to sunlight.
Who it’s for
For those drawn to marine fragrances without a conventional aquatic freshness, earthy patchouli, mossy woods and leathery resins. It suits a taste for atmospheric natural perfumery, where floral beauty shares space with damp, mineral and weathered textures.

The nose
Anna Zworykina is a self-taught perfumer with a background in virology and biochemistry. Her practice centres on handmade natural fragrances conceived as olfactory artworks, using the complexity of botanical extracts to build atmospheric compositions. Venetian Red expresses that approach through its contrast of marine dampness, weathered woods and rose.
Anna Zworykina’s story
Anna Zworykina approaches natural perfumery as an independent art practice rather than an exercise in broad appeal. Handmade, small-scale production and close attention to raw materials support fragrances intended for exploration and individual expression, including challenging textures as well as conventional beauty.
Venetian Red’s concept
Venetian Red belongs to a color-inspired series and takes its name from a warm, deep-red pigment. Its imagined Venice is dark and damp: algae along the waterfront, tarred wood and cold stone, interrupted by rich red rose petals. The composition turns that contrast between weathered surroundings and sumptuous color into an olfactory landscape.
Extra info
Venetian Red connects two strands of the house’s collection: it originated within a color-inspired series and is also included in the Gothic collection. Its name refers to a pigment rather than simply to the city.
