Discover the seductive warmth of vanilla reimagined through the lens of high perfumery in Gucci The Alchemist’s Garden Vanilla Firenze Eau de Parfum. Part of the house’s exclusive Alchemist’s Garden collection, this scent captures the mystical, nostalgic beauty of Florence, the birthplace of Italian art and fragrance. Designed for all genders, it’s an exquisite interpretation of vanilla, far from the sugary clichés—infused instead with woods, musks, and amber to create a rich, enveloping elixir.

Developed in collaboration with legendary perfumer Alberto Morillas under the creative direction of Alessandro Michele, Vanilla Firenze transcends traditional perfumery. It’s a gourmand-ambery scent with complexity, maturity, and poetry in every note. A celebration of alchemical transformation, the fragrance weaves vanilla’s sweetness with the earthiness of vetiver and the softness of musk, creating an addictive signature that’s both luxurious and personal.

Fragrance Family: Amber Gourmand Oriental

Vanilla Firenze pays tribute to artisanal ingredients and vintage fragrance structures, using carefully curated essences to express deep olfactory emotion. This is not your average vanilla—this is velvety, grown-up, mysterious vanilla, with layers of warmth and texture that make it utterly unforgettable.

Fragrance Notes

Top Note: Vanilla

The composition opens with a strikingly elegant vanilla absolute, smooth and buttery rather than sugary. It brings a cozy, creamy warmth from the first spray, immediately inviting and sensual. This isn’t vanilla as dessert—it’s vanilla as velvet: rich, mature, and enchantingly warm.

Heart Note: Cistus (Labdanum)

In the heart, cistus (labdanum) introduces a golden, resinous richness that complements the vanilla beautifully. It adds depth, darkness, and an incense-like warmth that feels both ancient and modern. Labdanum’s amber nuances fuse seamlessly with vanilla, enhancing the fragrance's mystery and longevity.

Base Note: Vetiver and Musk

Anchoring the perfume is a clean yet earthy vetiver, adding structure and balance to the sweetness. It’s accompanied by a whisper of musk, giving the fragrance an airy softness and sensual trail. The dry-down is comforting, smooth, and skin-like—leaving behind a memory more than a scent.
