Olympic Orchids Artisan Perfumes Blackbird is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Ellen Covey. Blackbird opens with Blackberry, settles into a heart of Elemi and Hay, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Fir Resin. Olympic Orchids Artisan Perfumes's Blackbird carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a wild ride. Olympic Orchids Blackbird is a polarising beast, blending photorealistic, tart blackberries with deep forest resins. It's either an evocative, natural masterpiece or a medicinal cough syrup nightmare, depending on your skin and nose. Definitely not a blind buy.

About

Imagine plunging into a dense, ancient forest at the height of summer, where the air hums with the scent of sticky fir resin and sun-warmed cedar. Clusters of wild, tart blackberries burst on the vine, their juicy sweetness mingling with the green, slightly balsamic breath of the woods. A subtle, animalic musk and dry hay undercurrent grounds this bold, woody-fruity composition, creating an olfactory journey that’s both wild and deeply comforting.
