Amandine Clerc Marie crafted The Heart of Leo for Gucci in 2024, drawing inspiration from the star-studded sky and the Lion constellation. This fragrance opens with a burst of black currant, creating an immediate sense of vibrancy and freshness that contrasts beautifully with its warm, spicy heart notes of olibanum and myrrh. The base of myrrh adds a rich, smoky undertone that grounds the composition in opulence and warmth. The Heart of Leo is part of Gucci’s Alchemist’s Garden collection, which transforms olfactory elements into sophisticated elixirs, capturing the spirit of nature with each layer.

Application Tips
Apply this fragrance in two light sprays — the black currant top note is bright but fleeting, and the myrrh base will gradually emerge over time. Ideal for daytime wear when you want a fresh yet warm presence.

The story behind the bottle.
The moment when a lion leaps from the starlit sky to seek out precious ingredients, its mane garlanded with black currant and its heart warmed by the tears of weeping trees.
