Gucci presents Ambrosia del Deserto: date, rose and a golden dragon
Ambrosia del Deserto joins The Alchemist’s Garden with candied date, rose and patchouli. Created by Nadège Le Garlantezec, it is already listed on Gucci’s UK website.
Candied date is the starting point of Ambrosia del Deserto, the new addition to The Alchemist’s Garden by Gucci. The house combines it with rose, blood orange and patchouli in an eau de parfum that already features among the new arrivals in its British catalogue. The bottle is made of red glass, with a golden cap and a dragon on the front.

Date, Rose, Davana, Immortelle
Base
Patchouli, Vanillin, Benzoin
The perfumer is Nadège Le Garlantezec. Gucci places the composition in the fruity chypre family. The date takes a leading role, but shares space with flowers, spices and an earthy base.
Date and rose, with patchouli as a counterpoint
The opening notes listed by the brand are blood orange, apricot, angelica seed and cinnamon. The heart features davana, immortelle absolute and the date accord; the rose is, along with the latter, one of the notes the house highlights in its presentation. The base combines patchouli, vanillin and benzoin.
Gucci pairs sweet date with rose and earthy patchouli. That contrast is central to the brand’s description. A skin test will show which facets come through most clearly.
A red bottle within The Alchemist’s Garden
Ambrosia del Deserto belongs to Gucci’s haute parfumerie collection. Alchemy provides the collection’s theme, with some fragrances grouped into four stages — Substratum, Vaporum, Liquidum and Ignis — each represented by a different bottle colour. The brand also suggests layering the perfumes.
The bottle keeps the collection’s apothecary-inspired shape. The red glass and the golden dragon distinguish Ambrosia del Deserto within the collection; the box matches the bottle’s red glass. The colour and decoration distinguish the fragrance while preserving the collection’s familiar silhouette.
