by Olympic Orchids Artisan Perfumes
Chevalier Vert from Olympic Orchids Artisan presents a strikingly authentic and intensely green scent profile, evoking the raw, bitter essence of a freshly tilled garden in early spring. The dominant notes—tomato leaf, rhubarb, and violet leaf—collide with citruses and sichuan pepper to create a bold, aromatic, and almost medicinal green character that many describe as raw, vegetal, and uncompromisingly natural. Some experience it as a deep, earthy green reminiscent of damp soil, garden trimmings, or even a moment of olfactory eco-terrorism. However, others find its evolution mesmerizing: as it dries, the sharpness mellows into a complex interplay of spicy, woody, and floral accents, with a persistent, smoky-woody dry-down that adds depth.
