Gucci The Eyes of the Tiger was launched in 2019 as part of The Alchemist's Garden Collection. A collection that is inspired by alchemy, using natural plants augmented with modern molecules. Each is intended to tell a story of a place, a moment, a season, a memory.
Working with Alessandro Michele, created by Alberto Morillas, it is an oriental with notes of amber, ciste resin and dark vanilla. It takes its inspiration from amber - the "soul of the tiger" that enters the earth and becomes a stone. It is the imagined journey into the soul of the tiger.
From Fragrantica - "Lovely toasty amber - warm, golden, slightly sweet and drying down to reveal more of the labdanum."
From Fragrantica - "A beautiful composition of ambergris and rock rose blended perfectly with the highest quality vanilla I've ever smelled, wow stunning."
Goes on like an old fashioned amber with cedar-y perfume tang but in a loud way I don’t care for. Smells vintage in an aging way. Dry down is a much better vanilla amber that I really like, but there is still a kick of metallic perfume. At this point, I love it, though it’s not different enough to merit the price tag. No real projection or sillage at all. If it was cheap, I’d buy a huge bottle, but it's too pricey to bathe in.
A strong statement fragrance of resins, spices and woods. A well done offering by Alberto Morillas. This is not a soft amber, it's a fragrance that makes a statement with an exclamation point.
