Our Why
Hello! I'm Jessi Park, the founder of Elysian Parfum, established in 2021 as a heartfelt tribute to my late sister. Elysian Parfum was created from a place of deep love, memory, overcoming grief, and healing. During my sister’s long, painful battle with cancer, we often bonded over our shared love of perfume—scent became a form of comfort, connection, and escape. Her cherished fragrance, Pretty in Purple by Juicy Couture, inspired the inception of this business.
After she passed, I began blending fragrances as a way to hold onto her presence. The name comes from combining her children’s names together, Elysia and Evan. A double entendre, it also means “of heaven” which feels like I have my sister’s blessing. Perfume holds a special place in my heart, reminiscent of one of our final moments together.
I strive to create fragrances that explore the mystery, dreams, and soul of life - scents that feel like whispers from another world. Many of them are inspired by fairytales, the ethereal, and the unknown - the spaces between memory and magic. Whether it’s the warmth of a bedtime tea, the hush of an old letter, or the feeling of something sacred and unseen, every bottle is a story, and every story is meant to be felt.
Truly Artisanal - Every bottle of Elysian Parfum is a labor of love, handcrafted in Atlanta with the finest ingredients, then hand-bottled and packaged by a member of our family.
