GucciThe Alchemist's Garden Osmanthus Nectar Eau de Parfum, 1.6 oz.

Gucci The Alchemist's Garden reimagines the four stages of ancient alchemy. The Ignis stage: Osmanthus Nectar Eau de Parfum. The smell of the osmanthus flower's apricot-like facets, as experienced through taste. Juicy. Fruity. Enlivening. Master perfumer Natalie Lorson set out to reveal the quintessence of the osmanthus through all the senses. Based on her expert interpretations and intuition, the technique she used brings both its texture and an appetizing aura. A headspace technique was used to capture the original smell of the osmanthus flower without extracting it. The innovative retro-olfaction technique bridges flavor and fragrance, the taste of its apricot notes are translated into scent. Osmanthus' pure essence is further revealed through another technique that captures its fragrant molecules under a glass cloche as if blooming in nature. A base of sandalwood essential oil brings grounding woodiness. A red bottle reflects the disruptively innovative techniques used to recreate the floral fragrance of osmanthus. Emblazoned with a hummingbird, it symbolizes the master perfumer's indomitable fast and free spirit.
