Gucci The Alchemist's Garden reimagines the four stages of ancient alchemy. The Substratum stage: The Voice Of The Snake Eau de Parfum. Hypnotizing oud wood accord merged with earthy leather. Woody. Leathery. Hypnotizing. Master perfumer Alberto Morillas' combination of oud wood accord, the multifaceted qualities of leather and solvent-extracted cistus macerations creates this earthy, calcinated facet. An intense, woody fragrance of a hypnotizing nature. Its oud wood accord is inspired by the trees it originates from, while the patchouli is created from dried leaves. Accords of leather and saffron pierce the scent with spicy, powdery, leathery accents. Two qualities of cedarwood deepen its woody energy, while a solvent-extracted maceration of cistus absolute adds herbaceous, floral accents. The fragrance is encased in a black bottle to reflect this earthy, woody perfume. A snake seals the scent as a hypnotizing symbol that evokes the creature slithering across a forest of dry leaves.
