Gucci Beauty celebrate the festive season of Ramadan & Eid with The Heart of Leo Eau de Parfum, a rich elixir inspired by the majestic essence of a lion. Joining the Alchemist’s Garden collection of fragrances, this new scent encapsulates the nobility and strength of the creature, blending resinous Myrrh and the smoky profile of Incense with an exhilarating Blackcurrant Accord. The result is an enduring trail, both fruity and ambery, as powerful as the animal it represents.
Embrace the essence of this special time of year with the dazzling gift of a signature scent from The Alchemist’s Garden.
The Alchemist’s Garden Collection
The story of The Alchemist’s Garden is one of rare and refined ingredients. Drawing from the art of alchemy, each scent bottles the essence of nature into a sublime distillation, with hero ingredients linked to the distinctive codes of the House. A collection of eaux de parfum, perfumed oils, and acque profumate (meaning “scented waters”), the compositions are designed to be layered together, shifting and magnifying in character when paired with each other. The beauty of alchemy is in the transformation: when layered, the scents become new expressions of art that reveal the magic of unseen worlds.
Bringing her vision together with Gucci’s, perfumer Amandine Clerc Marie takes inspiration from a specific image, story or character before creating a scent. For this fragrance, she imagines a fearless lion in search of the world’s most precious ingredients. Olibanum and Blackcurrant are blended with Myrrh, capturing the animal’s strength in a deep scent that exudes warmth, sensuality, and richness.
The Alchemist’s Garden Gucci The Heart of Leo Eau de Parfum
The Heart of Leo Eau de Parfum highlights the lion’s power and elegance by blending sweet and acidic Blackcurrant Accord at the top, smoky Olibanum Extract at the heart, and resinous Myrrh Essential Oil at the base.
The noble lion begins its journey in the Arabian Peninsula, where the Olibanum grows. As the scent of resin travels across continents, the lion explores Africa, where it discovers the balsamic nectar of Myrrh. The Myrrh Essential Oil is distilled to reveal its spicy warmth and sharp edge. To sweeten the lion’s journey back to the moon, the animal gently extracts the juice from blackcurrants, creating a concentrated syrup known as Blackcurrant Accord, which boasts a rich sweetness and acidulous tones. The fruit’s essence is captured and refined through an innovative method that reconstitutes the core aroma.
The Heart of Leo Eau de Parfum is manufactured using alcohol made from 100% recycled carbon emissions, contributing towards the enchanting journey of its fruity, ambery trail.
