PreviousNext

Gucci Beauty continues its story of magic with the launch of two new eaux de parfum into The Alchemist’s Garden’s line: A Midnight Stroll and A Chant for the Nymph. Joining the wider Luxury Collection, both scents possess the power to transport the imagination to emotions connected with their hero ingredient: Incense and Frangipani flower. Born from the magnetism of two alchemists – Creative Director Alessandro Michele and Master Perfumer Alberto Morillas – A Midnight Stroll is a dark and deep exploration, while A Chant for the Nymph is a warm sensual bouquet. Intensely luxurious, the parfums are presented in covetable lacquered glass bottles of black and pink with gold accents.

The Alchemist’s Garden Luxury Collection
Crafted from pure natural plants and flowers layered with modern molecules, each fragrance and formula in the Alchemist’s Garden is inspired by the science of alchemy, telling the story of a place, a moment, or a memory. The singular scents in the eaux de parfum, acque profumate and oils are customizable and transformative when layered in a multitude of ways, allowing each wearer to curate a distinct identity from their combinations, which linger in the air when worn.

A Midnight Stroll: Incense
Evoking the resinous profile of Incense, A Midnight Stroll is an homage to the allure of night-time. Epitomized by a jaguar, an animal of unerring strength, the elegant creature is imagined to capture the essence of the scent’s mystery. With its combination of aromatic Incense and intense, smoky Cade Wood, the solitary jaguar moves under the cloak of darkness, as fresh Cypress channels this expression of vitality.

A Chant for the Nymph: Frangipani flower
A Chant for the Nymph is an ode to tropical forests filled with sublimating solar flowers. The fragrance is inspired by the Frangipani, which symbolizes immortality for the heavenly and enduring smell that it releases on warm nights. With its enchanting beauty, the Frangipani embodies the story of a mythical nymph who appears on a summer’s night in a long-forgotten dream. Hiding behind the intoxicating Ylang Ylang and sensual Tiare flower, the nymph invites you to exotic lands, where seasonal clusters of long-lasting flowers are warmed by soft Vanilla.

The Campaign
Returning to the opulent scene of the launch campaign, the two new eaux de parfum join The Alchemist’s Garden collection in a rich antique-filled environment. Shot by Colin Dodgson, the point of view is placed amongst the opulence and abundance of ornaments, figurines, and ceramics of miniature animals. In a setting where astrological and astronomical devices and gadgets live alongside real tropical parrots, all the beautiful and strange items speak of a character obsessed with smells and fragrances. With new pink and coral colour palettes introduced, floral Pomelia-inspired props complement the new bottles in this place belonging to a collector’s imagination.

Packaging
Precious and covetable, the perfumes are emblems of magic, collectable objects for those who curate the aesthetic of their private worlds. Inspired by the jars and containers found on a wooden shelf in a vintage apothecary, the lacquered glass bottles for A Midnight Stroll and A Chant for the Nymph are presented in intense black and luminous pink, respectively, and finished with delicate stoppers. The bottles are distinguished by gold ornamental designs, including Gucci’s logo and lettering, as well as a jaguar for A Midnight Stroll, and a Frangipani flower for A Chant for the Nymph. Gold designs also appear printed on the outside of the boxes, which mirror the shades of each flacon. Each scent is presented in a moiré pouch and keepsake box.

The Alchemist’s Garden Luxury Collection; A Midnight Stroll and A Chant for the Nymph are available at Gucci’s counter, G Fl. Central Chidlom and M Fl. Siam Takashimaya. Price THB 12,400 for 100 ml.
