Cosmogony Proserphina is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Bertrand Duchaufour. Proserphina opens with Rhubarb, Green Notes, Lemon, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Angelica, Rose, Jasmine, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Patchouli, Guaiac Wood, and Oakmoss. Cosmogony's Proserphina carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

This perfume is a divisive one, a gothic, modern chypre for those who appreciate a moody artistic statement. It's not a crowd-pleaser, but rather a journey into dark sophistication with surprising twists of honeyed fruit.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring

Built on woody, amber and earthy - a composition that sits best in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its strong projection and enduring longevity make it less suitable for office environments, as it could be overwhelming. The dark, complex profile with prominent woody and amber accords makes it well-suited for evenings and formal events, though its distinctive character also lends itself to casual wear for those who embrace its unique mood.

About

Proserphina opens sharp with oakmoss and green rhubarb, quickly folding into a 'wine-like' pomegranate and tart citrus. The heart blooms with dark florals like rose and jasmine, softened by hints of chamomile and the creamy richness of ylang-ylang and tonka bean. The base settles into a deeply resonant woody amber, with styrax, patchouli, and guaiac wood creating a sophisticated, melancholic drydown.
