Ghost House is a story told with smells: an old mansion, its massive library, squeaky wooden floors and spiral staircases. Wind gets in through a broken panel in the window and flips the pages of a book. The garden is overtaken by briar.
On a sunny day Ghost House smells of everything you might find in a painter’s workshop: paint, tar, wood shavings. On a rainy day it smells of old wooden cabinets and books that keep them company and … roses.
Anna's blends are more like smell experiences or perfume escapes, pure fun for connoisseurs looking for something beyond perfumes created with the help of modern synthetic materials.
Being natural only blends, the perfumes have a very peculiar projection: close to skin, quiet but excitingly complex upon a closer sniff.

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 afternoon spent sorting books in a long-unused room, with a wool sleeve brushing the wooden shelves. Ghost House suits that unhurried, inward-looking register: its woods and incense remain intimate, while traces of rose soften the austere setting.
How to wear
Its woody, resinous character suggests cool autumn weather, when the quiet scent can be appreciated at close range. Apply sparingly to a sleeve or scarf, testing an inconspicuous area first for staining; avoid spraying a cloud. The brand recommends fabric application. If choosing skin wear, patch-test before continued use and heed its allergy and UV-sensitivity cautions.
Who it’s for
For listeners to scent who enjoy weathered woods, frankincense and oud more than bright freshness or overt sweetness. It particularly suits an interest in natural perfumery, intimate diffusion and atmospheric compositions where rose is part of a darker landscape rather than the central bouquet.

The nose
Anna Zworykina is a biochemist with a PhD whose practice bridges natural perfumery and olfactory art. She began making perfumes for herself and friends in 2004, developing an approach centred on natural essences and compositions that invite close, attentive smelling. Ghost House expresses that approach through woods, resins and roses assembled into an imagined architectural space.
Anna Zworykina’s story
Anna Zworykina creates handcrafted olfactory art exclusively from natural essences. Her house favours personal freedom, individuality and a slower relationship with scent over conformity. These compositions leave room for melancholy and less polished emotions, treating perfume as an imaginative experience rather than simply an attractive finishing touch.
Ghost House’s concept
Ghost House imagines a wooden house in mid-autumn: a dusty library, creaking floors, winding stairs and wild roses reclaiming the garden. Its narrative contrasts sunlit impressions of varnish, shavings and resin with rain-darkened wood, worn pages and roses. These changing scenes form the fragrance’s imaginative setting, rather than a promise of literal weather-dependent transformations.
Extra info
The fragrance is also catalogued as A Ghost House and Дом-призрак. It belongs to the house’s permanent collection and Gothic Fragrances category. Rather than a conventional top, heart and base pyramid, its materials are presented as the cast reenacting the house’s story.
