Alberto Morillas

"The Voice of the Snake EDP is a verified Gucci fragrance from the house's luxury The Alchemist's Garden collection. Launched in 2019 and created by Alberto Morillas, it is positioned as a dark, intense unisex composition centered on oud, patchouli, and saffron. Gucci describes it as a woody leathery fragrance, while third-party listings commonly classify it as woody spicy, which aligns with its sparse but potent note structure. The scent profile appears deliberately minimalistic, using a few bold materials to create a mysterious, shadowy, and hypnotic effect rather than a highly complex pyramid. Its black bottle with gold snake artwork is one of the line's most recognizable presentations and reinforces the fragrance's occult, luxurious character. In the market, it is regarded as a premium haute perfumery offering with strong presence, long wear, and polarizing but memorable character."

Reviews Summary

“User feedback describes The Voice of the Snake as a dark oud-forward scent with saffron brightness and an earthy patchouli backbone. Reviews frequently mention strong longevity and a noticeable trail, with some wearers praising its sinister, hypnotic, and luxurious feel. Others find it simpler than expected for the price, sometimes comparing it to other oud-leather fragrances and debating whether the presentation outshines the composition. Overall reception is positive-to-mixed, but it is consistently viewed as bold, distinctive, and long-lasting.”
