Fragrance information:
Olymra Persephone — an amber-floral fragrance
Olymra Persephone is a 2025 eau de parfum from Olymra, a Swiss perfume brand.
This unisex composition has a distinctive amber, spicy and floral character, created for those who appreciate noticeable, multilayered fragrances with a strong presence.
The perfumer behind the fragrance is Frida Michailidou.
In Persephone, she combines a bright citrus-spicy opening with a rose heart and a rich base, where floral transparency gradually gives way to warm, resinous, animalic and gourmand nuances.
Character and development
Olymra Persephone opens with bergamot, cardamom and pink pepper.
Bergamot brings freshness and luminosity to the composition, cardamom adds a dry spiciness, while pink pepper creates a lively, slightly sparkling quality.
As a result, the opening feels energetic and immediately captures attention.
As the fragrance develops, a green accord and two shades of rose emerge at the heart: Damask rose and May rose.
Damask rose lends depth and sensuality, while May rose softens the composition with a delicate, airy floral nuance.
Green notes preserve the freshness and keep the rose accord from becoming overly sweet.
The drydown is built on a contrast between dark and soft facets.
African stone, grey amber and beeswax create a dense, warm and slightly animalic backdrop; cocoa adds a velvety bitterness, while tonka bean brings creamy sweetness and roundness.
As a result, the base is rich, long-lasting and especially expressive on warm skin.
Sillage, wearability and dosage
According to the product listing, Olymra Persephone has very strong sillage.
This is a fragrance with noticeable projection that benefits from room to unfold. It is well suited to evening outings, special occasions and cool weather, when its ambered, waxy and gourmand nuances feel most expansive.
Its unisex positioning allows the composition to develop differently on the skin, ranging from spicy-rosy to darker, more ambery and animalic facets.
No precise recommendations for the number of sprays on skin or clothing are provided in the available information.
Given its very strong sillage, it is wise to start with a minimal application and assess the development after a few minutes, especially indoors. On fabric, the fragrance may last longer, so the material of the clothing should be taken into account before application.
Concentration and place in the fragrance line
Olymra Persephone is released as an eau de parfum.
No other concentrations of this fragrance are listed in the available information, so Persephone Eau de Parfum cannot be compared with Eau de Toilette or Extrait versions.
No information about a separate collection is provided either.
The composition combines amber, floral and spicy families, while its listed note groups include animalic, citrus, floral, gourmand, green and spicy accents.
This combination is what makes the fragrance multifaceted: the fresh opening gradually transitions into a rosy-green heart and then into a deep, waxy amber base.
