Organic disobedience from Crazy Nose Alessandro Gualtieri. Micodelerio is a fantasy of mushrooms in their natural environment: clustered among the wet soil and decaying leaves of the forest floor. Earthy/sweet beetroot plays against moss and a ticklish saltiness, before woody patchouli asserts itself. The strangeness resolves into a petrichor-drenched amber.

A tribute to the peace and harmony of a late summer afternoon; a fragrance that is pure, serene and enveloping.

A peaceful stroll through the wheat fields and almond trees as the light of a summer day wanes and the warmth of the air caresses your skin… Admiring the beauty of the sun as it starts dipping behind the rolling hills and bunches of wild roses and geraniums color the dimming countryside.

Their bountiful blooms release subtle droplets of nectar that float in the air and blend with the earthy scent of freshly cut wood, invading the early night…

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.

David Maruitte

“Nerosa is a perfume realized with David Maruitte in 2011, but at that time we believed that Laboratorio Olfattivo was not yet ready to launch a fragrance like this. Today instead, Nerosa can perfectly enter in our Black Collection, thanks to the depth, wealth and strength of its formula. A fragrance whose energy is noticeable and whose enveloping sillage is strong.”

About Burvuvu by January Scent Project

How does Burvuvu differ from these similar fragrances?

Mushroom adds a damp, earthy, and slightly woody character that contributes to the natural and forest-like quality of the fragrance. It helps anchor animalic and resinous notes, providing a distinctive organic depth.
Can I find a fragrance here that emphasises the honey note like Burvuvu?
Yes, several fragrances such as Bear, Honey and Tar, and MAD HONEY include honey in their compositions, each presenting it with different supporting accords that range from smoky to sweet and resinous.
