Born and raised in Los Angeles, Persephenie is a creative with interests in painting, craft, and the olfactory.

Persephenie specializes in perfumery and incense with expertise on natural materials.

She opened her aromatic studio in 2004, and has been teaching scent related classes since 2006.

Inspired by aromatic history and antiquated approaches, Persephenie enjoys researching recipes from different cultures, reinterpreting them, using stellar raw materials.

Persephenie is influenced by Medieval Middle Eastern Perfumery, Incense History, California Health and Well Being, the early West Coast Natural Perfumery movement, and Traditional Indian Attar manufacturing in Kanauj, India. Her perfumes are transportive, earthy, complex, strongly characteristic, with a high ratio of precious natural materials from different parts of the world.

"I think of my space as an artist studio and scent treasury, with attributes of the old world, a place to satiate olfactory wanderlust, where I can create and share what I make using stellar, coveted, and rare materials."
