Olympic Orchids Perfumes at Indigo Perfumery

Olympic Orchids Perfumes was established by Dr. Ellen Covey in 2010 as an extension of her orchid farm of the same name. The collection of rich parfum extraits has gone on to become internationally known and has won multiple awards, including the prestigious Institute for Art and Olfaction Independent Fragrance of the Year Award for Woodcut.

Made by Dr. Covey herself, the fragrances are designed, formulated, hand-manufactured, bottled, and packaged in-house. Dr. Covey is also a Professor of Animal Behavioral Science at the University of Washington. Her motto for Olympic Orchids is, “extraordinary perfumes for extraordinary people."

"All Olympic Orchids fragrances are handcrafted from pure essential oils, absolutes, extracts, high-end synthetic fragrance molecules, tinctures of natural materials, or some combination thereof in a carrier of perfumer’s alcohol. All are parfum (extrait) concentration, varying from 20-30% fragrance concentrate to optimize performance, so they have excellent longevity. When natural oakmoss is used it is the IFRA-compliant low-atranol type. To the best of our knowledge, Olympic Orchids fragrances never contain phthalates, artificial colors, or artificial preservatives, and they are not tested on animals. With the exception of a few that contain natural ambergris or Africa stone, they would be considered vegan. Some fragrances in this line are 100% free of synthetic musks. Some are 100% natural. For anyone with allergies or other sensitivities, information on specific ingredients is available on request."
