Gucci Beauty reveals 100-year anniversary scent and extends Rouge à Lèvres Voile lipstick line - The Moodie Davitt Report
Coty-owned beauty and fragrance house Gucci Beauty recently unveiled The Alchemist’s Garden 1921, a new fragrance that celebrates the Italian fashion house’s 100th anniversary this year. The scent pays homage to Florence, the city where the Gucci brand was born in 1921. It was launched in Americas, Asia Pacific and Europe travel retail on 1 June.
Gucci Beauty has also extended its popular Rouge à Lèvres Voile lipstick range with five new permanent shades. The new colours launched in Americas, Asia Pacific and Europe travel retail on 1 July.
Marking Gucci’s 100th anniversary
1921 is the 11th eau de parfum in The Alchemist’s Garden line. The scent is available in a customisable collection of eaux de parfums, perfumed oils and acque profumate (scented waters).
Inspired by the art of alchemy, the fragrance blends Neroli Flower notes with Limone Cedrato from Florence, Italy. All of The Alchemist’s Garden scents are built on one hero note and can be layered together to create unique combinations. It was jointly developed by Master perfumer Alberto Morillas and Gucci Creative Director Alessandro Michele.
The Alchemist’s Garden 1921 flaçon was inspired by vintage apothecary bottles and pharmacy jars. It is made with transparent green glass, sprayed with an intricate design and gold Gucci lettering. The flaçon is decorated with a wreath, held up by a hand which represents everlasting growth, the brand said. It is housed in a regal green box, accented with gold Gucci lettering.
The Alchemist’s Garden campaign is set in a luxurious solarium, where nature is centre-stage. It was photographed by American Photographer Colin Dodgson with art direction by Christopher Simmonds. The campaign features the words ‘Celebrating 100 years’.
Gucci Rouge à Lèvres Voile welcomes five new lipstick shades
The five new permanent shades for Gucci Beauty’s popular Rouge à Lèvres Voile lipstick line were inspired by the golden age of cinema and specially designed by Alessandro Michele.
The shades were developed to complement and enhance the existing lipstick line with fresh and bright hues ranging from delicate blush to bright orange, pink and red.
The new colours comprise the Amy Blush 518, No More Orchids 410, I Dream Too Much 310, Love is Better 213 and Louise Orange 307. They feature the same lightweight, moisturising formula as other lipsticks in the collection, delivering a luminous yet smooth and sheer finish.
Designed as ‘objects of desire’, the new shades are packaged in vintage-inspired gold metallic lipstick tubes with an ivory pink rosebud print sheath.
I Gave My Telfar Bag An Artistic Upgrade Just In Time For The Fall

Just about every Black girl across the world has bought, or attempted to buy a Telfar bag. The popular Black-owned luxury tote, dubbed the Bushwick Birkin, has been making its rounds on social media and beyond. When I first learned about Liberian-American designer Telfar Clemens, I immediately wanted to hop on the purse bandwagon. I wasn’t interested in the trendy aspect of owning the bag, but I wanted to be one of the Black women pushing this affordable, luxury brand to the forefront.
It was time for a Black-owned brand to rival the Louis Vuitton and Gucci, and in my mind, purchasing the $200 medium-size, vegan leather tote bag was going to help make that happen. Unfortunately there is a legit science to securing a Telfar bag. Because it sells out within minutes, shoppers have to sign up for the email list, send in a blood sample, sign over the rights to their first born child, all while doing the Crate Challenge in platforms.
Somehow, I was able to get my hands on the coveted purse right before Beyoncé was spied wearing it to a Basketball game last month. I was so hyped! Now that I had my bag, I wanted to do something that would set it apart from the sea of Telfar bags I’d see on a daily basis.
I hit up Olivia Georgette, a graphic designer and artist that is known for her abstract plant-inspired designs. After sliding in her DMs to see if she was up for the task of revamping my bag, she happily accepted the challenge. Olivia sent over a few design ideas. I picked one, shipped out my bag, and anxiously held my breath until it’s return.
Olivia received my bag and blessed me with a behind-the-scenes shot of how it was coming along. “Just letting you know I’ve started working on your bag and I’m sooooo excited,” she said in a message to me. “I already know your going to love it and it already looks better than the sketch!” she continued.
A little over a week later, Olivia let me know my bag was finished and would be mailed that day. You know that feeling children get on Christmas morning when they’re about to open all of their presents? That’s how I felt when I discovered my USPS box waiting for me the very next day.
Olivia did NOT disappoint. As a plant lover, I was so happy to have her leafy design accentuate my bag. I also love the fact that my Telfar can stand out amongst the crowd. When I posted the final product to my Instagram page , the response was overwhelming. I have a feeling Olivia is going to be upgrading a heck of a lot of Telfar bags this year.
You can keep up with Olivia via her Instagram page . What do you think? Are you loving my new and improved luxury Telfar tote?
