Gucci The Alchemist's Garden reimagines the four stages of ancient alchemy. The Substratum stage: A Reason To Love Eau de Parfum. Master perfumer Alberto Morillas uses Damascena rose and oud wood accord to create this woody, rosy scent. Resinous. Rosy. Sensual. A deeply resinous aroma with a heady rose accent that brings sensuality and warmth. The fervent fusion of carnal Damascena rose meets with a profound ambery oud wood accord inspired by a substrate drawn from the trees it originates from. Olibanum resinoid, which is macerated in a solvent before it is extracted, drives its smoky opulence, as do its essences of myrrh and styrax. The black bottle reflects the resinous, rosy concoction within. A solar totem known as the sun in splendor seals the scent with a symbol of passion, vitality and everlasting sensuality.
