Gucci’s A Song for the Rose Eau de Parfum is a powerful, poetic tribute to one of perfumery’s most iconic and romantic blooms—the rose. This unisex fragrance, crafted with refined artistry and emotional elegance, turns the classic floral into a regal, modern experience. With its noble, singular note, this perfume sings of love, legacy, and the natural beauty found in simplicity.
Part of Gucci’s haute perfumery collection, The Alchemist’s Garden, A Song for the Rose was created under the visionary direction of Alessandro Michele in collaboration with world-renowned perfumer Alberto Morillas. This fragrance line is inspired by the ancient science of alchemy and the magic of scent—each bottle telling a unique story drawn from nature, memory, and the imagination.
Fragrance Family: Floral Rose
This scent is dedicated to the rose in its most radiant and pure form. It is not a complex floral bouquet but rather a focused, luxurious meditation on the essence of the flower itself—refined, powerful, and timeless.
Fragrance Notes

Key Note: Bulgarian Rose

🌹 Bulgarian Rose
The heart and soul of this perfume is the Bulgarian Rose, renowned for its rich, intoxicating scent. This is no shy bloom—it’s lush, deep, and velvety with natural facets of honey, green freshness, and subtle spice. It evokes both innocence and passion, making it suitable for all genders.
🌬️ Musk
Musk gives the rose a sensual depth, adding softness and a creamy texture to balance the floral vibrancy. It helps the scent meld beautifully with your skin, lingering with a skin-like elegance and subtle allure.

Warm and slightly resinous woods support the composition, grounding the floral heart and adding sophistication. This soft woody backdrop elevates the fragrance into a wearable luxury, making it just as fitting in formal settings as it is for intimate evenings.

Apply it to pulse points. Also known as warm points, the pulse points are the best areas to enhance the performance of the perfume. The temperature interacts directly with the perfume, activating the scent throughout the day! Equally important is to not rub the perfume after applying it, as rubbing may disturb the integrity of the fragrance and evaporate the top notes which are more volatile.
