Step into a dreamlike realm with Gucci Moonlight Serenade Eau de Toilette—a mesmerizing and poetic unisex scent inspired by the delicate serenity of twilight and the soothing whispers of nature. This aromatic lavender water is a symphony of calm and elegance, composed by Gucci’s master perfumer Alberto Morillas in collaboration with Creative Director Alessandro Michele. Designed as part of the enchanting Alchemist’s Garden collection, Moonlight Serenade is more than a fragrance—it's a ritual, an experience, and a soothing presence that lingers like the hush of dusk.
Moonlight Serenade EDT is part of the “Scented Waters” selection within the Alchemist’s Garden collection—a unique subline of lighter, layering-friendly fragrances that can be worn alone for a subtle aura or combined with Gucci’s perfume oils and EDPs to create a customized signature scent. Presented in an elegant, vintage-style bottle, this scent reflects Gucci's philosophy of fragrance as alchemy—where memories, nature, and storytelling fuse into olfactory beauty.
Fragrance Family: Aromatic Lavender
Moonlight Serenade is a tribute to lavender, one of the most calming and classic notes in perfumery. Fresh, soft, and slightly herbaceous, lavender in this fragrance is elevated and refined, offering both purity and understated sophistication.
Fragrance Notes

Key Notes: Lavender, Sage, Tonka Bean
💜 Lavender
This isn’t your average lavender—this is Gucci lavender, a rich, elegant interpretation that balances the calming freshness of the flower with soft floral powderiness. It feels like freshly laundered linen under moonlight, both comforting and clean, yet emotionally evocative.
🌿 Sage
Sage adds a soft green depth to the composition. It brings an herbal, slightly peppery nuance that keeps the fragrance grounded and natural. It enhances the meditative, almost spiritual quality of the scent.
🍬 Tonka Bean
A touch of tonka introduces a hint of creamy sweetness, blending beautifully with lavender to produce a harmonious dry-down that’s warm, gently gourmand, and deeply comforting without being heavy.
