Just for perfect people
Gucci The Alchemist’s Garden is a luxury perfume collection designed more like an artistic olfactory exploration than just seasonal designer scents. It was conceived under Alessandro Michele, working with master perfumer Alberto Morillas. The idea is a haute-parfumerie line, with rich ingredients, beautiful presentation, and options meant for layering or individual wear. One of the standout scents in the line is A Floral Verse. Its listed notes are: Top: Jasmine Sambac Heart: Black Tea Leaves (Sri Lanka) Base: Romandolide (a type of musk) plus undercurrents of musk more generally. What It Smells Like The perfume opens with a fresh, luminous jasmine — but this is not heavy, waxy or overly sweet jasmine. It has a green-tinged freshness, some effervescence. People often mention it feeling somewhat natural, not synthetic. After that, the black tea leaves come through: smoky, slightly bitter, adding a mature warmth. It’s not an overt “tea drink” vibe, but a refined tea note that grounds the floral brightness. The musk / Romandolide base softens things: the smoky edges are mellowed, and there’s a smooth, slightly skin-like finish. It gives it staying power and a clean, elegant dry-down. So overall: a balanced floral-green fragrance with a tea-smoky twist, wrapped in clean musk. It feels both polished and versatile.

A Song for the Rose
First of all, it’s a beautiful bottle! The fragrance actually smells like a rose unlike a lot of rose perfumes that are either too strong or slightly artificial. It’s delicate and evocative of catching the aroma of roses on a summer’s day - lovely. It lasts quite well too.
