Gucci introduces a new chapter in The Alchemist’s Garden — a collection where the art of perfumery meets the mysticism of alchemy. With the debut of four new Eaux de Parfum — Muschio Mineralis, Muschio di Luce, Rosa Sublime, and Rosa Incandescente — the house reimagines the transformation of nature’s rarest essences through the four alchemical stages: Earth, Air, Water, and Fire.
Rooted in the spirit of Florence, the birthplace of both Gucci and Renaissance alchemy, this collection explores the poetic science of transmutation — where each element becomes more than itself. Through meticulous artistry, perfumers Mathilde Bijaoui, Julie Massé, Alberto Morillas, Cécile Matton, and Ralf Schwieger capture the invisible passage from raw matter to olfactory brilliance, revealing new dimensions of musk and rose.
Muschio Mineralis, representing Earth, delves into the mineral depths of musk and ambergris. Vanilla Absolute and Infusion intertwine through solvent extraction and maceration, unveiling a warm, ambery sensuality within a black glass flacon adorned with a fox — the eternal symbol of intuition and mystery.
Muschio di Luce, embodying Air, captures the radiance of clouds through the luminous blend of musk, pink pepper, and vetiver. Created via supercritical fluid extraction, this ethereal scent is enclosed in a white bottle featuring a bird of paradise — a tribute to freedom and splendor.
Through the element of Water, Rosa Sublime celebrates the distillation of Damascena Rose Superessence. Its heart beats with saffron accord, mirroring passion and duality, and is presented in a golden flacon adorned with a hand fan — a symbol of motion, rhythm, and desire.
The cycle culminates in Rosa Incandescente, the Fire of the collection — where salty red seaweed meets honeyed Damascena rose. The scent, extracted through modern alchemy, evokes a tempest of floral warmth and marine freshness, housed in a red bottle bearing a seahorse, the emblem of transformation and depth.
