Gucci has launched 1921, a new fragrance in The Alchemist's Garden collection. 1921 celebrates the 100th anniversary of the brand's founding.
Marking the centenary of Gucci, a special new fragrance called 1921 enters The Alchemist’s Garden luxury collection. Created around the distinctive Neroli Flower, the scent also features—in another nod to House heritage—the Limone Cedrato fruit from Florence, the city where Gucci was founded. Blended by master perfumer Alberto Morillas, under Alessandro Michele's creative direction, the customizable pieces are made up of eaux de parfum, perfumed oils and acque profumate (meaning "scented waters").

Appreciated for its floral and sweet notes, the Neroli Flower is both intense and subtle, combining an elegant density with a fizzy green edge. The greenness of the Neroli Flower blends effortlessly with the sparkling freshness of the Limone Cedrato, a zesty ingredient that is fresher and more floral than the lemon fruit. Bringing richness, intensity, and an unrivalled lastingness to the fragrance, Oakmoss provides an earthy, lush forest-like quality, a sophisticated signature note that marks 1921 as a scent that transcends gender and seasonality.
Gucci 1921 is available in 100 ml Eau de Parfum, $330.

Neroli flower vs. orange blossom- please discuss amongst yourselves…
I like both, and will also point out that just because they tell you it has neroli, does not mean it has both, and really, doesn’t mean much of anything since you don’t know how they are using the term.
(Notice they are using the term “neroli flower”…”neroli flower” is orange blossom.)
HA, I am so dense, that is probably what you meant by your comment. I need more caffeine!!
I sincerely wondered if there was actually a difference- glad to know, probably not…
Ah! Then my answer would be there is really no way at all to know for sure, since the term they are using is so imprecise, but I also think even when brands use the proper terminology, it is hard to know for sure unless they list both. If they list both, I assume that’s what they used. If they list one, it’s possible they’re used both or even the other and not the one listed.
Oooh, sign me up for this one as well!
I like everything about it….except for the price.
I really love the idea, the bottles, even the name “alchemist’s garden”. Would I purchase one of them bottles? Would love to but considering I got more “urgent” perfumes to buy… Probably not gonna happen. If I had around $300 to spend right now and wasn’t trying to spend it on another Neela, I’m still putting a Bee bottle of some nice Guerlain or a SL bell jar as my priority…
