Gucci fragrances opens a new story of magic and imagination in Luxury Collection: The Alchemist’s Garden.
The singular unisex fragrances in The Alchemist's collection of Eau de Parfum, Acqua Profumata and oils become customisable and transformative when layered in a multitude of perfume combinations to construct a special enticing scent that stays with you all day—the amount the perfume lingers in the air when it is worn.
"The oils and Acqua Profumata create mesmerising individual statements. Personalise your beloved scent with a captivating oil or a floral water to build a unique scent. Each oil or floral water of the collection can be layered with each eau de parfum. Just play with the scent to find your favourite, as an alchemist would work to find the gold formula," says Alberto Morillas.
The scent: The Virgin Violet Eau de Parfum Violet is considered the flower of modesty because it hides its flowers in heart-shaped leaves. To blend The Virgin Violet floral scent, a swan is imagined. Covered in soft white feathers, the delicate swan, pure and graceful, is translated in a composition of Musk, Violet leaves and Iris petals. Its purity is nuanced with a deep provocative character, shown when the swan spreads its wings, to reveal a bold note of Vanilla.
The bottle: The design of each Eau de Parfum bottle is inspired by the bottles found on wooden shelves of a vintage apothecary, curious pharmacy jars and the first perfumery containers. Gold lettering, decoration and secret symbols appear on the Eau de Parfum, contained in lacquered Gucci fragrance glass bottles with stoppers - covetable objects for lovers of mystery.
How to use:
Each Perfumed Oil and Acqua Profumata in The Alchemist's collection can be layered with each Eau de Parfum: experiment with combinations to build a unique scent of your beloved scent.
Bottling the essence of nature into sublime distillations, the customisable compositions are designed to be layered together, each building from a hero ingredient that shifts and magnifies its character when paired with other Gucci fragrances. The beauty of alchemy is in the transformation: layered scents that become new expressions of art and unfold the magic of unseen worlds.
Layer pure and highly concentrated perfumed oils with the Eaux de Parfum to intensify its strength and richness:
- Apply your choice of The Alchemist Perfumed Oil first on the wrist and neck
- Follow with your Eau de Parfum layered on top
- The Acqua Profumata can be applied over the Eau de Parfum to recharge top notes and refresh the overall impression of your signature scent
A recommended layer combination for The Virgin Violet perfume, designed to bring out the different facets of its graceful floral powdery blend:
- Shower more floral over The Virgin Violet Gucci perfume by pairing with A Forgotten Rose perfumed oil. The pair results in a blushy violet scent, flowery and intense
- Deepen the texture of the Gucci fragrance with Moonlight Serenade Acqua Profumata for a complex bitter violet edge, radiant and strong
