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.
