Tobacco Tuberose - a leather floral vintage experiment. Green bitterness, milky-white flowers in a half-light of a library, soft clouds of tobacco smoke, cozy leather chairs, silence and comfort.
It is tobacco which surely leads in this duet. Warm and rich, the fragrance opens with bitter, slightly metallic green notes of violet leaves, they unfurl into dim old library cabinet. The cabinet is full of curling aromatic flows of pipe tobacco smoke. Then leather appears, warm and tactile, and then a sudden gust of wind brings a heady, almost narcotic smell from a tall elegant bouquet of tuberoses. Try it on, find out who will lead for you – white flowers or tobacco-leather.
Anna advises to choose chilly dull weather to experience this fragrance – it warms and comforts in a most subtle and pleasant way.

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
This is a fragrance for close, inward spaces rather than bright public display: a quiet room, a worn chair, a book left open, the air carrying smoke and flowers at once. It suits a composed presence that feels thoughtful, a little mysterious, and more compelling the nearer you come.
How to wear
Best in cool, dull weather, when its tobacco, leather and tuberose can unfold without becoming heavy. Apply sparingly, ideally to fabric or a scarf, since the brand’s natural blends are meant to be experienced with restraint; the scent wears softly but lasts well, with a gentle, intimate trail.
Who it’s for
For wearers who enjoy natural perfumery, vintage-style florals and darker, more textured compositions. It will appeal to those who like tuberose with smoke, leather and woods, and who prefer fragrances with an old-world, contemplative character over bright or transparent florals.

The nose
Anna Zworykina is the founder and sole perfumer behind the house, working as an olfactive artist with a scientific background in biochemistry. Her style is rooted in natural materials and carefully composed scent landscapes that feel more like crafted artworks than conventional perfumes. In her work, structure and texture matter as much as beauty: she often builds fragrances with unusual contrasts, letting bitterness, smoke, woods and florals interact in a way that feels vivid and tactile. Tobacco Tuberose fits that approach well, pairing a smoky tobacco-leather core with a heady floral accent rather than treating tuberose as a simple white-flower note.
Anna Zworykina’s story
Anna Zworykina Perfumes is an artisan natural house built around hand-crafted compositions made from pure botanical and, at times, animal materials. The brand’s style is intellectual and tactile, with a focus on depth, texture and unusual natural accords rather than conventional commercial polish.
Tobacco Tuberose’s concept
Tobacco Tuberose was conceived as a leather-floral vintage experiment: a study in contrast between the dry, smoky gravity of tobacco and leather and the lush, almost narcotic bloom of tuberose. Its imagery is that of an old library, green bitterness and soft smoke giving way to a bouquet in the half-light.
Extra info
The fragrance was launched in 2008 and remains in production. Its official description frames it as a “leather floral vintage experiment,” and the brand notes that its natural blends are meant to be applied carefully rather than sprayed as a cloud.
