THE ALCHEMIST’S GARDEN UNVEILS A GLOAMING NIGHT:
AN ELEGY TO A BEWITCHING HOUR
A Gloaming Night eau de parfum enters The Alchemist’s Garden collection. A feeling captured within a bottle, that moment between the dusk and evening, A Gloaming Night is an homage to this fleeting moment of the day, bewitching like no other. Capturing the quintessence of the changing skyline in all its magnificent glory, the pink, purple, peach and red: just as these stripes of colour make way for darker shades to twist onto the horizon, the notes of A Gloaming Night work together, wrapping around the other to produce its unique aroma. Deep, woody and spicy, it is a fragrance that unlocks the allure of this twilight sky characterised by a meeting of opposites, in which the day becomes night. A genderless signature scent presented in a covetable red glass bottle, A Gloaming Night is powerful yet soft, striking and reassuring, just like the beauty of sunsets.

A customisable collection of eaux de parfum, perfumed oils and acque profumate, The Alchemist’s Garden is inspired by the art of alchemy, with each scent built around a hero ingredient linked to the distinctive codes of the House, and formulated to be layered together to create unique, personalised combinations. Taking the number of eaux de parfum in the collection from eleven to twelve, A Gloaming Night continues the story of magic and imagination created by Maître Parfumeur Alberto Morillas and Gucci’s Creative Director Alessandro Michele with a scent built around an aromatic combination of Cinnamon, Vetiver and Patchouli.
The Alchemist’s Garden A Gloaming Night eau de parfum
A Gloaming Night is a reminder and emblem of spectacular sunsets: those moments spent walking around cobbled pathways, past waterfalls of bougainvillea and white walled houses, with the sun like liquid honey on the skin; or it could represent a more familiar yet no less dazzling sunset, the one you watch every day from your window. Never the same, yet a reassuring inevitability of each day turning into night.
A sophisticated scent for all seasons, it captures the essence of evening summer skies to remind the wearer of these fiery twilights during winter months. The warmth and elegance of the scent is dictated by Cinnamon, which wraps its spiciness soothingly around the enveloping woody Vetiver. Deep and dry Patchouli only strengthens the intensity, layering together in harmony like the colours of a sunset as they glow with the final warmth of the day before descending into darkness. A true collector’s item, A Gloaming Night is an enriching scent, providing a new and exquisite element of warmth that works together with layers of scent from the Alchemist’s Garden collection. Just as no two sunsets are the same from wherever you see them in the world, A Gloaming Night works alone or together with some of the collection’s oils and perfumed waters for a truly personalised finish like no other.
The Packaging
Inspired by the bottles found on the wooden shelves of a vintage apothecary, curious pharmacy jars and the first perfumery containers, The Alchemist’s Garden A Gloaming Night bottle comes in a transparent ruby red glass inspired by the glowing red of the late sunset. Sprayed with an intricate design, Gucci lettering and decoration appear in gold on the bottle. Adorned with a hand holding a key, unlock the mysterious secrets of the most bewitching hour of each day with this elegant and illuminating scent. The bottle is encased within a crimson red box accented with gold lettering for the Gucci logo and the House signet.
The Campaign
Captured by Colin Dodgson, the new Alchemist’s Garden collection campaign visuals return inside to a rich and opulent solarium greenhouse. Here we find an inviting antique desk, on which the new fragrance stands out. Placed amidst the wider collection, the distinctive red bottle is surrounded by the glowing light of candles, books and trinkets as the beauty of the day turns to the allure of the night.
Designed for The Alchemist Garden collection lovers around the world, A Gloaming Night will be available from October 1st, 2021.
