1921 by Gucci Reviews & Perfume Facts

Gucci 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").

The collection is inspired by the art of alchemy and fragrance-making, formulated to be layered and blended to create a unique, personalized fragrance combination. Built around a hero ingredient linked to the distinctive codes of the House, each scent can be magnified, muted or fused with other fragrances from the line to create a one-of-a-kind sillage.

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.

The fragrance can be accentuated by layering it with perfumed oils and acque profumate from the collection to create a personalized blend.

Inspired by the bottles found on the wooden shelves of a vintage apothecary, curious pharmacy jars and the first perfumery containers, the fragrance comes in a transparent green glass, as an homage to one of the House’s emblematic colors.

Gucci lettering and decorations appear in gold, emblazoned with a wreath held up by a hand, symbolizing everlasting growth and strength; no beginning or end, just the solid beauty of a hundred-year heritage.

Part of The Alchemist's Garden line, Gucci 1921 item comes in a special moiré pouch.
