Jessi Park
"Fragrance is the universal language that connects us all. It transcends borders, cultures, and time, speaking to the heart in a way words cannot. As perfumers, we are the translators of nature's ingredients, crafting stories from the very essence of the earth. Each scent we create is a bridge—an invitation to experience the world through a different lens." — Jessi Park
Jessi Park is the founder and perfumer behind Elysian Parfum, a niche fragrance brand known for its unique and evocative creations. The name "Elysian" is a combination of the names of Jessi's sister's children, Evan and Elysia, and serves as a tribute to the love and bond she shared with her sister, as well as their mutual passion for perfume. Jessi created Elysian Parfum to feel like a continuation of their time together, a way to honor their connection through the art of scent.
Raised in Florida, the beach was always Jessi’s haven, offering a sense of peace and connection to nature. Now living in the mountains of Georgia, she has developed a deep love for the farmland and forests, finding inspiration in the natural beauty that surrounds her. This ever-changing landscape—where the ocean meets the forest—shapes both her creative process and her connection to the world of scent.
A self-taught perfumer, Jessi cultivated her craft through exploration and hands-on experience, further refining her skills during a transformative month-long course in Thailand. Alongside her perfumery journey, Jessi is an internationally collected artist, and she incorporates her visual artistry and storytelling into each fragrance she creates, infusing them with deep meaning and emotion.
Jessi’s time living in England also played a significant role in shaping her fragrance creations. It was during this time that she developed a deep love for tea, especially the tradition of high tea. The elegance and comfort of these rituals became a source of inspiration, leading her to craft a fragrance collection inspired by the warmth and charm of tea and dessert.
Elysian Parfum is an extension of Jessi's personal experiences and passions. Her approach to fragrance is rooted in the belief that scent has the power to evoke emotion and memory, creating an immersive experience for the wearer. Jessi continues to blend her love of art, perfume, and storytelling into every creation, ensuring that each one is both evocative and meaningful.
