Very nice, the gentian comes through clearly and the Chartreuse adds some nice background complexity. I am thinking of trying it with some thyme liqueur to contribute to the colour and theme of the drink.

I liked this as per the recipe given, but just got a bottle of Chartreuse Elixir Vegetal so thought I add some; 3-4 drops really elevated the cocktail and would highly recommend trying!
