wooden floors
Resinous / balsamic opening where Patchouli immediately emerges, earthy and slightly smoky without "gourmand" aspects.
The floral notes tend to tone down the appearance of the resins used and the earthy parts.
It seems to be in an old room full of paintings and books with wooden and waxed floors.

Herb Spirits
No question, the scents of good Anna are anything but crowd-pleasers - across the board.
But as it is with all differences in taste, they have their followers. And that is justified - at least in my opinion.
On one side, there are mainstream fragrances, there is niche, and there are scents that dedicate themselves to the term perfume art and are indeed (perfume) art. Ultimately, what one likes and what one perceives as wearable or unbearable (these words honestly clash with me anyway) is thoroughly subjective.

Ghost House initially left me puzzled in that I expected something completely different based on the previous descriptions.
Decaying corpses, mold, sweat, and animalic notes? I can't detect any of that in this fragrance.
I can't make out incense either, no matter how hard I try, which I honestly don't regret.

It is still difficult at first.

Somehow it feels like someone took Succus and/or (probably more "and") Maruyama, dumped it into a cauldron, and then dissolved everything from cough syrups and various herbal candies to ointments that could be found in it.
It is angular.
Super-sharp, super-bitter, biting-green, and mini-mini-minimally rosy.
That's how it starts and that's how it remains. Even if it gains a bit of mildness in the later stages and thus becomes somewhat "simpler".

I really like both of the fragrances dumped into the cauldron, and I also appreciate Ghost House in its uncompromising nature and bite.
However, I personally completely miss the connection to the name, namely a ghost house. I would have actually found Witch Garden more fitting.

House of Ancestors
The old house has survived many generations.
Its stories hang ethereally in the room.
Now it has stood empty for many years..
It smells musty,
every single step stirs up dust,
which gets caught in cobwebs.
The sun filters sparingly
through the closed shutters,
casting shadows where there are none.
Wood shavings occasionally fall
from the woodworm-infested beams.
This house tells stories,
you can hear past children's laughter,
as well as drama and love.
It will take a lot of work
to restore it.
But it will shine in its old glory.
I open a window,
smell the herbs planted in the front yard
ethereally,
smell the grass that grows everywhere.
And I can almost smell how the old house will shine clean.

A House Without Walls and Horizon
The quiet rattling of an old projector somewhere in the room, dark brown images flicker and blur forward, reaching no wall, no horizon, swimming in the sepia-colored dust of cassia cinnamon, swirling over warm, decaying mold, marzipan-like wood flower mass made of glue. For a few minutes, everything is breathtakingly unclear and dark.
Then, swathes of eucalyptus mist creep in, glaringly bright and cool, they crawl where one thinks of the ceiling of the room, pulsating clouds glow polar white, resembling ethereal spirits, flickering for just a moment like roses, sinking to the warm rotting ground, where woods and earth turn into smoldering moors, green blooming balsamic resinous cistus mosses for a round hour.
Now the mists conjure much light into the grasses, which now emerge in the shimmering veils, so ethereal spirits waft for six or seven more hours in vetiver, in the house without walls and horizon.
**
"Ghost House" is a perfume that Jakobolino rightly described as a great cinema for indie lovers, as the components listed in the pyramid unfold an unexpectedly rich scent profile. The warm, almost oppressive dark brown chaos at the beginning is soon enveloped by an icy aura of the brightest Indian incense and its smoky distillate Choya Loban, beneath which the dusty-moldy guaiac-patchouli base initially shifts into the herbally balsamic cistus and later more and more into ethereally sharpened vetiver. I also found it interesting that the ethereal aura projects significantly stronger (several hours arm's length with just a small spray on the wrist) than the woody, earthy, and green notes (more intimate).
Anna Zworykina's artistry has been described as "impressive" by esteemed fragrance critics like Luca Turin. In the case of "Ghost House," I underscore that.

The pungent wood lacquer opening is a bit harsh, but it blooms so beautifully as it dries to a rich, gothic dark purple and brown.

Does it smell like this in the haunted house?
The biggest ghosts stay away
out of fright...
Sweaty, stuffy, animalistic
Weird mix
No way

Sins and evil spirits shy away from the light. In this house, it smells of paint, tar, old wood shavings, heavy old books, dead roses!

Starts as rusty lemonade and ends as a sharp, jumbled green soap compote.

The spirits I summoned came to me in my old country house. They arrive with full force.
Ethereal and mysterious. Everyone is smoking. Oh yes.

Old attic with cobwebs. The wooden floor is unvarnished. With every step, dust rises and the floorboards creak (...)
