Parfums Chevalier Garde, Inc. was founded in 1937 by Alexandre “Sasha” Georgievich Tarsaidze, a former officer in the Imperial Russian Navy who had immigrated to the United States. Tarsaidze’s background in perfumery began in the 1930s when he joined the Prince Matchabelli perfume company. He later collaborated with Prince Serge Obolensky to establish Parfums Chevalier Garde in 1937. The enterprise also included Baron Serge de Gorin, another Russian émigré, who served as the company’s representative and likely contributed to the development of its perfumes and cosmetics. The company aimed to offer a curated yet complete line of high-quality French perfumes, cosmetics, and toiletries. Baron Serge de Gorin was president of Parfums Chevalier Garde until 1940, when the war cut them off from French imports.
