An aromatic portrait of the city of Hue, the ancient capital of Vietnam. All the shades of grey stones and plaster. Grey bark of trees and pipals painted cream with spots of fungi and lichens. Bluish-white porcelain chips of mosaicked walls. Ancient roof-tiles, once terracotta, are all green now with moss. The green of leaves, of grass, of water plants, green of pond water, bright flowers of water hyacinth, and sacred blue lotus. The carmine of old pagodas, the wood of garden houses dark with time, bluish-green sides of huge incense burners, whitish-grey smoke of burning incense leaving soot on stone walls.
It is a very strange perfume, maybe the most difficult for an understanding of all the others in the regular collection. First of all, because it is more a portrait than a perfume, it’s very lasting, with noticeable sillage and troubled character. To feel the atmosphere of the place, even make things hyper-realistic, it’s better to wear the perfume in hot and humid weather. Then it works magic.
Mango leaf, violet leaf, seaweed, elemi, choya nakh, choya loban, choya ral, kewda, hop, jasmine, frangipani, pink lotus, juniper, rose, lavender, frankincense, agarwood, angelica, labdanum, oakmoss, patchouli, vetiver, mitti attar, sandalwood, saffron, myrrh.

Now I’ve been introduced to some amazing fragrances during my travels, but this discovery in Bloom Perfumery last week blew my mind! It’s has the most mind blowing list of ingredients that’s created a super multi layered fragrance. Anna Zworykina doesn’t create perfume, she creates art-extracts that are journey tickets to fantasy worlds, and Hue from her collection definitely does that, Hue is an aromatic portrait of the city of Hue, the ancient capital of Vietnam. All the shades of grey stones and plaster.
Along with beautiful notes of Angelica Root, Frangipani, Juniper, Labdanum and Oud to name but a few, this creation has some very unique ingredients that will amaze your nose. When you first spray this dark resinous elixir I was transported to a sea floor, salty, marine with clay clogged driftwood – maybe the most interesting ingredient is Choya Nakh – which is a distillation made with crushed up sea shells roasted in an earthenware pot called a Choya, the smell is like a sea drenched moss, smokey and salty and almost on the edge of unpleasant.
As the fragrance settles the journey doesn’t stop, a cloggy clay note mesmerises out of nowhere from clay attar, clay baked from the River Ganges, this gives the fragrance a scent of fallen raindrops. I have smelt a lot of fragrances in my time but this one was maybe the most unique beast I’ve ever tried.

Perfume Notes
Huế is the Vietnamese city where my maternal grandmother is from. In corresponding with Anna, who suggested I try it as a replacement for her discontinued No 1 perfume for Switch Perfumes, she expressed that she had spent a lot of time there for inspiration; probably more than I’ve ever spent there.
Huế is herbal, incensey, resinous, mossy, dense, and dark. This is what I would imagine Jason Momoa as Aquaman would wear. (No, I haven’t seen the movie yet.) Wherever you are, this definitely takes you on a journey elsewhere, to some place darker, earthier, calmer.

The smell of an ancient, exotic stilt town
Hue is another Zworykina's dark marine fragrance after Venetian Red. It transports you to a village built over a river or sea somewhere in Asia (Hue is indeed an ancient capital of Vietnam). You can easily picture green water full of vegetation (pink lotus, seaweed notes) flowing slowly around numerous wooden bridges and stilts covered in gluey substance and mosses (oakmoss, woods and cleverly used agarwood) on which the village is built upon. Zworykina mixes this dark, green accord with a sea shell accord made of Choya Nakh balsam (made by distillation of dry roasted seashells in India) and Mitti attar (the traditional Indian petrichor attar) giving it an unusual, complex marine character. All of that is richened by tropical fruits and flowers (mango & frangipani), balsamic myrrh and smoky incense, creating a full-bodied perfume that parallels Duchaufour's exotic masterpiece Timbuktu in many ways. Finally, you can treat this as an interesting exotic oud-fragrance as this is one of the most prominent notes here but Hue is so much more than that. One of the best and most unusual Zworykina's fragrances.
