Cosmogony Proserphina is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Bertrand Duchaufour. Proserphina opens with Rhubarb, Green, 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 woody-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.

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.
