Chekhov's Garden

CHEKHOV'S GARDEN " Happiness awoke with me every morning! And the orchard was just the same then as it is now; nothing is altered. It is all white, all white! Oh, my cherry orchard! After the dark and stormy autumn and the frosts of winter you are young again and full of happiness; the angels of heaven have not abandoned you" Anton Chekhov, The Cherry Orchard Perfume created from many of the same plant varietals growing in Anton Chekhov's famed garden at his summer dacha. Special perfumer made extractions of the unique blossoms, woods and fruits were used in this perfume in order to capture this historic garden's living aromas. In accordance with the philosophy of Chekhov himself, nothing artificial was used in the making of this perfume. Anton Chekhov was one of the greatest writers of all time and a significant contributor to the naturalist movement in theatre; beyond that he was a champion of the natural world. He was a physician who suffered chronic illness and planted his own healing garden and his very own "Cherry Orchard" along with over 120 other plants, 20+ varietals of roses, peaches, apples, almond trees, and healing herbs and flowers at his White Dacha in Ukraine. He wrote "The Cherry Orchard" there and hosted visitors such as Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov and Tolstoy. This is a perfumed re imagining of Rachmaninov's piano nocturne spilling over into Chekhov's Garden, feverish conversations over art, their gardens, and the deep connection between man and nature.
