  • About The Fragrance

    The Alchemist's Garden reimagines the four stages of ancient alchemy. The Liquidum stage: Gucci 1921 Eau de Parfum, created by Master Perfumer Alberto Morillas. Discover the sparkling freshness of quintessentially Italian citrus essences. Vibrant. Invigorating. Legendary.

    The sparkling freshness of the cedrat fruit is achieved through a Cedrato accord comprising transformative distillations of Italian lemon, bergamot essence and yellow mandarine. This zesty accord is fresher and more floral than lemon alone, with fruity, fizzy facets and hints of woody verbena. Bright floral greenness from the petit grain bigarade essence is balanced by a base of earthy oakmoss accord.

  • About The Bottle

    The fragrance is encased in a transparent green bottle with golden reflections to reflect the zest of the citrus fruits within. Emblazoned with a wreath held up by a hand, a circular shape symbolizing a hundred years of Gucci.

  • About The Brand

    Founded in Florence in 1921, Gucci is one of the world's leading luxury fashion brands, with a renowned reputation for creativity, innovation and Italian craftsmanship. Reflecting and defining the styles and attitudes of each era, Gucci has influenced fashion and culture for more than a century.

Elegant

Gucci The Alchemist’s Garden 1921 is a refined, unisex citrus-floral masterpiece celebrating Gucci’s 100th anniversary. It opens with bright limone cedrato and unfolds into a heart of delicate neroli, finishing on an earthy oakmoss that feels both elegant and grounded. The scent is fresh and sophisticated—perfect for spring or daytime wear—and while it leans subtle and intimate, its quality and creative storytelling make it a delight to wear.

Gorgeous

Gucci’s Alchemist’s Garden collection is pure luxury — each scent feels like stepping into a dreamy perfume library. The fragrances are rich, poetic, and layered, with notes that unfold slowly on the skin. They blend florals, woods, and musks in a way that feels artistic rather than trendy

Worth the hype

If you want something that lasts and want to smell good all the time, this is the one. I love this one for my casual and special use…love how this bottle is designed. A bit on the expensive side but its worth it.

Citrus elegance with beautiful bottle

  Gucci 1921 feels like stepping into a sunny Italian garden. The first spritz is all bright, juicy lemon and soft neroli—it’s fresh but not sharp. Pretty quickly, that green lemon-verbena note kicks in, which makes it smell a bit more elegant and less like kitchen lemons. Then the oakmoss shows up quietly in the background, giving it a soft, earthy depth. I love the bottle—deep green glass with gold details—it looks like something from an old apothecary, very display-worthy. On my skin, it lasts about half a day, longer if I spray it on clothes. Some people say it disappears fast, so I think it’s best for days when you want something light and uplifting, not a heavy perfume cloud. Overall, it’s fresh, chic, and very wearable. It makes me feel put-together without trying too hard—like throwing on a perfectly tailored white shirt.

Gucci 1921 — Citrus Chic with Earthy Grace

Fragrance Pyramid • Top: Citron (Limone Cedrato—bright Italian lemon) and Neroli flower • Middle: Lemon verbena / Petit grain Bigarade (fresh citrus-green heart) • Base: Oakmoss (earthy, vintage forest vibe)   From the moment I spritz this, it’s like walking through a sunlit Italian garden—sparkling lemony lift meets delicate neroli, rounded out by that unique lemon verbena greenness that feels both cheerful and elegant. Then, quietly, oakmoss anchors it, giving the scent a refined depth—clean, polished, and sophisticated. The bottle design is another standout: a sleek apothecary-style flacon with green glass and golden details that feel like a modern heirloom. So beautiful in person—it feels as luxurious as the scent inside.  Longevity and Wear Sillage is pleasant and moderate. While some people find it fades quickly—even within an hour in hot climates—others report a strong 6–8 hours, especially when applied to fabric.  For me, it lasts long enough for a day-to-evening use, especially with a couple of sprays. Final Thoughts Gucci 1921 is a refined, airy citrus with just enough green and moss to feel grounded—perfect for spring and summer daytime. The scent is understated yet luxe, much like wearing a beautifully tailored silk scarf. It’s not overpowering, but it glides with quiet confidence. The bottle alone makes it a beautiful addition to any fragrance shelf. If you adore clean, citrus-forward perfumes with character and a touch of earthiness (and don’t mind setting your expectations for moderate longevity), this is one to try—especially for its storytelling elegance and Florentine heritage.

Nice but not worth the price

This is a citrusy cologne that is absolutely unisex. Might tickle your nose at first but it dries down to be almost undetectable, which is disappointing longevity considering how expensive this bottle is.

A little disappointed

I had high hopes for this only to be let down. It wasn't the fragrance for me. I'm not sure if it was my body chemistry or what that just didn't work for me.

Mature floral

This scent is great for someone who loves florals. This was very floral forward for me. Although I enjoy floral notes this was just a little much.
