Gucci The Heart of Leo ~ new fragrance

Posted by Robin on 1 March 2024 12 Comments

Gucci has launched The Heart of Leo, a new fruity amber fragrance in The Alchemist's Garden collection. 

Captivated by the star-studded sky, the Gucci alchemist dreams of a new olfactory Gucci fragrance honouring the brightest star from the Lion constellation - Gucci The Heart of Leo. Guided by his brightness, the lion leaps from the sky in search of the world’s most precious ingredients.

Knowing that resinous incense brings opulence to those who possess it, the lion jumps to the Arabic peninsula where Olibanum grows. Here, the noble creature encounters the tears of weeping trees, the bark exuding an unexpected, spicy scent that warms his heart. A symphony of balsamic resin traverses continents through golden winds, beckoning the lion to return to his homeland, Africa. As he follows the scent to yet another tree, he encounters the balsamic nectar of myrrh and its liquorice smoky undertones that liberate his soul. To sweeten his journey back to the moon, the lion garlands his mane in a blood-red blackcurrant accord.

With the promise of dawn nearing, harmony returns as the lion resumes his position in the sky.

Gucci The Heart of Leo is available in 100 ml Eau de Parfum.

    Wow, they had me until they got to the blood-red blackcurrant accord.

      Hard to say…could be good, could be too fruity.

      Matters little to me personally since I have never tried a single one in this series and wouldn’t pay for it no matter what.

        Me neither, but as I’m a Leo, I had a moment of temptation.

    Liquorice and myrrh… that sounds like Lolita Lempicka Nuit Sonne (I think it was called?) flanker. I’d love to smell this! Many in this line appeal to me, but for the prices ..

    Lovely bottle, but I guess I’m a bit fatigued today as I read it as “Heart of the Loo” and thought, dear god…
