From the Distance of Summer
At a window in your time, you whispered into the darkness like a child: Is it still very far?
Don't think that summer will come to the garden, the meadow, and the forest on its own; someone has to awaken summer, then the buds will soon appear. The bitter herbs still glow their harsh green song, the sharp roots hum beneath the warming glow. Already the bergamots buzz in the citrus lamp wick, the sky becomes warm wool from wood, under cinnamon stars the night comes. Come, let us dream the mosses for the trees, there you lean against me, you breathe the spicy barks and feel the summer within you.

According to her own statements, Anna Zworykina creates olfactory landscapes from 100% natural materials. Her scents are moments captured, escape routes into dreams and fairy tales, connections to long-term memory, making the wearer a co-author of their stories.
"150 Days to Summer" is, for me, the path to a moment of summer. Bitter citrus fruits with peel and spicy fresh sage open the fragrance, yet a certain heaviness resonates, which indeed, as mentioned in NikEy’s statement below, evokes the impression of a lamp oil scent. Camphor-like citrus marjoram soon transitions to woody-warm nutmeg, slightly sharp and bitter, with notes of clove and cinnamon, underlined by sharp warm ginger. With the spicy barks and green moss notes from the base, the fragrance for me becomes that of an approaching warm summer night, the citrus lamp extinguishes, the stars are distant cinnamon and pepper, ethereal green spice still lingers in the air at the edge of the dry forest, moderate to quiet, for a good six hours.
