Back in 2019, Gucci launched its haute perfumery line, The Alchemist’s Garden. Aptly named, the apothecary-style collection takes inspiration from the art of alchemy. So much so, it invites one to work as an alchemist would, by layering its offerings together to form your own personal sillage.
Aside from perfumed oils and scented waters, the range also offers 14 eau de parfums, which include three new scents. The expanded collection sees Osmanthus Nectar, Fiori di Neroli and Vanilla Firenze that offer an olfactory exploration of the alchemical stages fire, water and earth, respectively.
Firstly, the floral-fruity Osmanthus Nectar evokes the delectable apricot-like notes of the osmanthus flower. The delicate top and heart notes couple with a base of sandalwood for creamy depth. Finally, a hint of dry spice tops it off for distinctive wear.
Next, you’ll find Fiori di Neroli celebrating the ancient art of distillation. The floral, citrus and woody infusion features an exclusive neroli essence from Liguria’s last neroli producer. Along with petitgrain and cedarwood essences, this harmonious blend serves up both freshness and warmth.
Lastly, Vanilla Firenze is warm, sensual and elegant all at once. Floral and ambery, this features some of the finest raw ingredients including Italian iris pallida concrete. Three distinct vanilla extracts are further enhanced by warm myrrh resinoid for an opulent experience.
Priced at SGD575 for 100 ML, The Alchemist’s Garden eau de parfums are now available at Gucci Beauty stores, counters and online.
