The summer perfumes that’ll get you the most compliments

Jessie Bush and the Etro White Magnolia Eau de Parfum.
* White Magnolia is a tribute to beauty and the wonders of nature. Calabrian bergamot evokes Mediterranean atmospheres with the sparkle of citrus fruit, infused by the elegance of amber cedarwood. At its heart, the floral harmony of magnolia spreads its freshness, encountering the luminous transparency of hellebore. White woods add structure to sensuality while the creaminess of the musk releases a gentle, warm caress into the air.

Get Susie Lau’s favorite new Gucci The Alchemist Garden Acqua Profumata: the Moonlight Serenade, available at GUCCI.COM
* Gucci’s first Haute Perfumery line, The Alchemist’s Garden unfolds within an imagined laboratory filled with curious jars and mesmerizing scents. Blended by master perfumer Alberto Morillas under Alessandro Michele’s creative direction, the customizable collection made up of eaux de parfum, perfumed oils and acque profumate («scented waters») is inspired by the art of alchemy and fragrance-making, formulated to be layered and blended together 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 luxury collection to create a one-of-a-kind sillage.

«Moonlight Serenade» scented water
An extract of Lavender blended with notes of Sage and Tonka bean creates an invigorating and vintage inspired accord that will tint the eaux de parfum with an aromatic shade.
The acqua profumata can be layered with an eau de parfum to give a fresh layer to the fragrance, resulting in a personalized blend.
The acque profumate are presented in precious containers decorated with whimsical rows of pink buds from Gucci’s signature rose motif. Crafted from ivory lacquered glass, the specially designed bottles have a porcelain effect recalling the first perfumery containers displayed on the wooden shelves of antique apothecaries.
Part of The Alchemist’s Garden line, this item comes in a special moire pouch.
