Gucci The Alchemist's Garden The Last Day of Summer Eau de Parfum, 100ml at John Lewis & Partners

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: With The Last Day of Summer Eau de Parfum, feel the breeze of a forest in early Autumn. Walking in a forest of Cedarwood and Cypress, see the first leaves fall and listen to the crunch of steps passing over, releasing Nutmeg and powerful woody, earthy notes given by captivating Patchouli and Vetiver. In this temple of silence, a pheasant with magnificent feathers is imagined flying over the trees and disappearing above the canopy. The nostalgic feeling at the end of summer coincides with the season change, a symbol of the renewal of life and nature.

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.
