FLOWERS, LEAVES, RAIN

The inspiration for this 100% botanical perfume is the ancient goddess of spring, Persephone. We have carefully captured the essence of the season in this fragrance, with notes of blossoms, fresh green leaves, and the refreshing aroma of rain. As you indulge in this fragrance, you'll embark on a sensory journey, beginning with bursts of jasmine, violet, and pomegranate, and then gently transitioning into a honeyed floral scent with soft, powdery notes. This fragrance is complex and layered, offering a truly nuanced olfactory experience.

Longevity: 5 hours

Great Customer Service

Before: Ordered a sample and received a broken bottle Update: After posting my previous review, one of the Team Member at Cocoon Apothecary reached out to me in few days via email and apologised for the delivery. She sent me another sample free of cost, that too in a padded envelope. Fast forward to next week, I got my new sample bottle and tested the fragrance. The scent is really amazing and sweet, like a flower in the wild. Suggested to wear in cold environment so that the warm nature of the fragrance is balanced. Apart from this, I also received some free samples of their face cream, cleansers, and lotions! Those were superb as well! Looking forward to try the bestseller lavendar body lotion and ofc the Persephone perfume lol Impressive and dedicated team at Cocoon Apothecary! <33

Warm mellow fragrance

Fast delivery but the sample bottle was broken to pieces. The sample was packed in an envelope. Smells a lot like an incense stick frangrance. Totally captures the description - notes of rain, blossoms, and sweetness. I would rather use it as an essential oil for relaxing than an everyday perfume. It's disappointing that the packaging was not handled properly. I was so excited to use this product since it's organic and just the right thing I was looking for. Not recommended.

This seems well-crafted but I did not like the notes at all. More pomegranate than floral.

Fragrance short-lived

Pleasant fragrance, but does not last! I do love it's 'organic' scent however, and would consider purchasing if it would just last longer. I also think it could use more floral notes.

Due to the organic nature, this scent will dissipate faster than synthetics. We appreciate your feedback regarding our Persephone 100% Botanical Eau de Parfum.

Not my scent but lovely if you like floral

Scent is really subjective! I personally am not a huge fan of the scent but I do like that it is subtle. I did try it on and wore it after about two hours of walking outside it faded. I still haven’t found a scent that suits me but I will keep looking.

Love!

Got the sample a couple times to decide if I really wanted to buy the full size. So glad I went for it. Pricy but I think it's worth it. Love it now (summer) but it will be perfect for fall!

Ok just not for me.

The scent was too floral for me but was ok. The scent does not stay on long, fades fairly quickly.

The only perfume I can wear.

I love this product. I cannot stand perfume on myself or others. My husband got this for me for Christmas two years ago and I was worried it might be too powerful but it is subtle an no harsh attack on my senses. It's light and great for sensitive skin.

Absolute ethereal perfection

You know how scent evokes memories This perfume captures everything, right from the first note: an eclectic store that sold the best silver jewelry in Uptown Waterloo in the 90s, the music of the Cure, my friend Taisha, a memory of watching the first fireflies on a warm night in June, a romantic walk in the moonlight, and true love.

Very well made perfume

The perfume is a very high quality product that has a pleasing aroma with none of the sharp, alcohol notes that you can find in some perfumes. The scent was just a little bit on the sweet/floral side for my tastes but that is just a personal preference. I am very happy with the quality of this product and, if they release a new scent, will absolutely try it.

Too sweet for me

I tried it many times as I really wanted to wear a natural perfume, but it's too sweet for me. It's very feminine but it reminds me of my grandmother's perfume.

We are pleased you like the fragrance! Natural perfume has a shorter longevity than synthetic perfume. Our Persephone 100% Botanical Eau de Parfum longevity is 5 hours. Have a great day! Christine
