Gucci fragrances opens a new story of magic and imagination in Luxury Collection: The Alchemist’s Garden. Inspired by the science of alchemy, Alessandro Michele reimagines the path of transformation from lead into gold with the art of fragrance making to create seven eaux de perfume, four oils, three acque profumate, and a candle. Alberto Morillas worked with Alessandro Michele’s vision on a collection using pure natural plants and flowers layered with modern molecules. Blended through rediscovery, a hero ingredient is magnified for each scent: Oud, Amber, Violet, Iris, Mimosa, Rose, and Woods. Every fragrance and every formula is created as an unicum, telling the story of a place, a moment, a season, and a smell of memory. The Voice of the Snake Eau de Perfume Named for a snake’s movement through a forest, the scent is mixed around the note of precious and mysterious oud. Symbolic of eternity, oud is highly prized for its singular, aphrodisiac, and sensual aroma. Lying in the dried Patchouli leaves on the ground, the snake hides. Leather-like scales slowly draw traces on the snake’s path, tinted with Saffron shades. The snake glides through Oud wood rays. Intensive and deep, the scent is as hypnotizing as the sound of the snake’s voice.
