Persephone, THE VERNAL QUEEN, is the living embodiment of transformation and grace—a soul who bridges two worlds with radiant serenity. Daughter of Demeter and sovereign of spring, she emerges each year from the depths of the underworld, ushering in renewal, color, and hope. Her myth is not just about descent, but about rising: Persephone shows us the strength found in embracing change, and the beauty that comes when we nurture all parts of ourselves—both shadow and light.

This scent, inspired by Persephone, blooms like a secret garden revealing itself at dawn. It opens with a vivid burst of sweet basil and sunlit lemon, reminiscent of the first green shoots pushing through gentle spring earth. Frangipani, representing rebirth, weaves in a tender, creamy softness, inviting you further into Persephone’s blossoming realm—a realm where new life is cherished, and every scent tells a story of growth and awakening.

At the heart, notes of Arabian jasmine and tuberose unfold with regal florality, mirroring Persephone’s gentle authority and luminous presence. As the fragrance settles, the base deepens with copaiba balsam, frankincense, and myrrh—a triad of ancient resins that ground the scent, hinting at Persephone’s connection to the mysteries of the underworld and her ability to bring light even to the darkest places.

THE VERNAL QUEEN is for those who celebrate life’s cyclical nature, finding elegance in resilience and hope in every new beginning. Wear it as an invocation of joy after sorrow and as an emblem of the power found in emerging from the shadows—just as Persephone rises, crowned by blossoms, to signal that spring has truly arrived.
