“It is a kind of bathroom that belongs to the imagination, where strange objects are kept, and someone obsessed with smells and fragrances. The images are evocative of a suspended time, which is then what makes you experience a scent, to bring you back to an imaginary place,” AlessandroMichele on the campaign video for the The Alchemist's Garden collection. Inspired by the ancient philosophy of alchemy, The Alchemist's Garden is created with the old art of fragrance making, for a collection seven eaux de parfum, four perfumed oils, three acque profumate and a scented candle.

Gucci Absolute Beginners is a new series in collaboration with Dazed that challenged a selection of nine artists to do something they’ve never done before: get behind the camera and into the director’s seat. Each of the talents developed their own screenplay and brought it to life by stepping behind the camera and directing their own short film. On her ‘Jackie’ Jodie Turner-Smith—a face from the Gucci Bloom fragrance campaign—said: “Jackie is about a woman who is alone, but not lonely. In her home, her sanctuary, she chooses to remain uninterrupted, despite the pressures of outside voices. It is a film about escapism. In a world that doesn’t allow her to be carefree, she chooses it – thus, her solitude and the care she takes to get dressed and make herself up are, in some ways, acts of defiance.” To celebrate the film series across social media, Dazed and Gucci reached out to Morgan Presley, the creator behind Tik Tok’s Gucci Model Challenge, to kick off #GucciAbsoluteBeginners guide to living a Gucci life.

"The empanada is the quiet ruler of Latin American cuisine. Easy to eat, the comfort food is adaptable to any situation—a snack while waiting at a bus stop or why not as an accompaniment to a glass of champagne at a wedding. Chef de partie of Gucci Osteria in Florence Bruno Terceros is from Bolivia, and together with Karime López, they create an empanada with a Genovese twist in the rich meat filling, slow cooked with tomato puree and onions. “In all Latin America we have different names for empanadas, and different fillings, different ways to close—folded, braided or with a fork, fried or baked—at the end it’s the same thing,” Karime says, adding that to create a perfect empanada the filling has to be delicious and juicy and most importantly cold when you assemble the empanada otherwise you will have trouble closing them. INGREDIENTS 500 g all purpose or 00 flour 160 g lard Brine (26 g of coarse salt dissolved in 250 ml of cold water) 100 g extra lard for brushing over the dough, melted over low heat Cornflour for dusting on the dough so it doesn’t stick METHOD 1. Sift the flour, then make a well and add the lard and brine. Knead to a smooth and consistent dough. 2. Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rest for half an hour. 3. Roll out the dough to a thickness of 5 mm. Brush the dough with melted lard and sprinkle with cornflour, then fold in half. 4. Repeat this process three times. 5. Roll out the dough to the desired thickness and cut into 10 cm discs FILLING 2 tablespons olive oil 400 g minced meat 2 white onions, chopped finely 150 g tomato puree 20 g fresh coriander 100 g parmesan METHOD 1. In a pan, soften the onions until golden in the oil, then add the meat with the puree tomatoes, cook for 1 hour over medium low heat. After cooking add cheese and coriander. Let the mixture cool. SEAL AND COOK 1. Place the filling in the middle of the discs and seal by joining the two sides of the dough. 2. To cook, fry the empanadas in sunflower oil at 180°C for three minutes."

Traditionally baked around the holidays, this Northern Italian cookie, is made for coffee or tea breaks with family and friends. Mattia Agazzi, the chef de cuisine of Gucci Osteria in Beverly Hills says that his family comes together at the dining table to have coffee, eat the cookies, share stories and reflect on the year that’s passed and the year ahead. Made with almond flour and shaped like a half moon and rolled in a vanilla bean-flavoured sugar when still warm from the oven, it’s near impossible to eat just one. Mattia says you can twist the flavour of the sugar coating to preference: with cinnamon, lemon zest, ginger or nutmeg. Ingredients: 150g all purpose flour 60g almond flour 120g unsalted butter at room temperature 60g granulated sugar 3 egg yolks (around 45g) Vanilla- sugar mix: 100g granulated sugar 1 fresh vanilla bean Method: 1. In a large bowl mix by hand all ingredients until very well combined. If you have a mixer you can simply combine your ingredients and mix them with the paddle attachment. 2. Once your dough is perfectly mixed, shape it into a rough log and cover it with plastic wrap. Let it rest for 30 minutes in the fridge. 3. Line your baking pans with parchment paper and preheat your oven to 350'F. 4. Using a little knife cut the vanilla bean down the middle, lengthwise, creating two long halves. Take the back side of the knife now and scrape out your vanilla seeds. Add this to the granulated sugar and mix it thoroughly until aromatic. Pass through a sieve and set aside. 5. Roll the chilled dough into a log (about 1/2 inch thick) Cut it into small pieces and form them into small cylinders. Taper the ends into dull points and bend it into a crescent shape. Place them on the baking pan and bake for 10-12 min. Once the tips start to get golden brown, take them out. Sprinkle or dip them in your vanilla-sugar mixture while hot, and let them cool down. Store in an air tight container or cookie tin for up to 2 weeks.
