Some perfume magic, a perfume that captured the soul of autumn, complete with foggy cold mornings (orris), dry leaves (the effect of various balsams and resins), sleepy sun (played by vanilla absolute and Indian oud) and fireplaces (gaiac).

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
The register is quiet and inward: returning from a misty walk with the smell of leaves still clinging to your coat. Cool orris and earthy resins preserve the outdoor chill, while guaiac wood and vanilla suggest warmth nearby rather than overt sweetness.
How to wear
Best suited to cool autumn weather, when its contrast of misty orris and warm resins feels most natural. Follow the brand’s advice to apply sparingly to fabric rather than spraying a cloud; begin with one small spray on a scarf or sleeve, testing an inconspicuous area first. Natural materials can cause allergic reactions, so review the ingredients if you have sensitivities.
Who it’s for
For those drawn to woody, leathery and balsamic perfumes with an earthy, atmospheric character. It suits a taste for textured natural compositions, where vanilla and tonka soften the resins without turning the landscape into a dessert.
Release year
2007 (or 2013)
The nose
Anna Zworykina is a natural perfumer with a doctorate in biochemistry. Her work explores the complexity of essential oils, absolutes and extracts, treating perfume as a sensory landscape rather than a simple arrangement of pleasant notes. In Fallen Leaves, that approach becomes an autumnal study of cool air, fading light and resinous warmth.
Anna Zworykina’s story
Anna Zworykina describes her approach as handcrafted perfume punk: personal freedom and sensory honesty rather than conformity or provocation. Natural aromatic materials and handcrafting underpin complex compositions that invite attentive exploration rather than instant familiarity.
Fallen Leaves’s concept
Fallen Leaves evokes late autumn, when damp leaves gather underfoot and the earth holds its last warmth. Its central accord of immortelle, hops, iris and aromatic resins balances nostalgia and unease about the approaching darkness with comfort and calm.
Extra info
Hops and immortelle help build its autumnal character alongside iris and resins. The official materials list includes essential oils, absolutes and CO₂ extracts rather than presenting a conventional top, heart and base pyramid.
