Anna Zworykina Perfumes № 5 hits the skin with a thick wave of raw castoreum and beeswax. This is a dense, animalic floral scent that rejects clean, modern mall scents. Bergamot and mandarin orange flash briefly at the start, but they quickly sink into a heavy floral core of ylang-ylang and dark rose. On the skin, the warmth of ambrette and civet turns the initial sweetness dry, leathery, and dark. It wears like a heavy velvet curtain under soft candlelight. Since this is an all-natural perfume, it relies on your body heat to radiate. It suits adventurous collectors who prefer historical, dirty florals over clean musks. Wear it during cold winter nights or formal evening gallery openings. Because it is highly complex and behaves unpredictably depending on skin chemistry, skip the blind buy and purchase a sample first. Show less
