Gucci Bloom: the FREE arcade game!

Did you know Gucci has a Gucci Arcade App, where players can download free (ultra glam) retro style arcade games? Well now Gucci Bloom has its very own game added…

We are excited to announce today the release of the Gucci Bloom Game in the Gucci Arcade on the Gucci App! It is the first game dedicated to fragrance!

In the Gucci Bloom game, players embody their favorite fragrant fashionistas from the new Gucci Bloom advertising campaign – entering a mysterious garden and using magic to bloom the blossoms.

 

 

 

The game takes inspiration from the just-launched and stunningly surrealistic campaign video for Gucci Bloom, of which Gucci says: ‘The new Gucci Bloom campaign opens with Florence Welch exploring the abandoned theatres of La Scarzuola, a surrealist architectural compound built around an old Franciscan convent. Award-winning photographer and director Floria Sigismondi creates a garden of dreams where magic blooms and intensifies to its crescendo with a floral explosion showering the four protagonists: award-winning actress and director Anjelica Huston, singer songwriter Florence Welch, actress Jodie Turner-Smith and designer Susie Cave. Some scenes take inspiration from the popular French musical film ‘Peau d’Âne,’ directed by Jacques Demy. The stop motion flower sequences in the campaign are animated by the Brothers Quay.’

 

 

And in the flower-filled Gucci Arcade game, the appealingly 80s-style retro graphics continue the story and explore the whimsical Gucci aesthetic as ‘…players enter a mysterious garden and using a fairy dust light beam are able to magic the blossoms to bloom.’ Players can choose a character created in the likeness of the new talents featured in the campaign, and really it’s just the most delightful way to pass the time – particularly in these enduringly strange days of social distancing due to the glocal pandemic of Covid-19 still wreaking chaos.

 

In fact, gaming figures have risen by a whopping 65% globally, according to statista.com, who report that ‘While cinemas and theaters closed their doors to try to stem the spread of the disease, many people turned to home entertainment during periods of self-isolation.’ So if you’ve never explored the fascinating world of online and app games, now is the perfect time to give it a go.

 

 

Gucci explain that, ‘…the Gucci Bloom game is accessible from the Gucci Arcade map on the Gucci App, where players can choose between a lineup of different games. Employing and displaying the hallmarks of the House, all of the games on the App are unique, while sharing a common spirit of entertainment.’

And really, if we’re gonna start gaming, could there be a better way to begin than a FREE perfume-inspired Gucci Bloom Arcade game…?

Explore the stunning new scent & watch the gorgeous new film

Gucci have been blowing us away with their fabulously opulent catwalk collections, and now continue that trend with the launch of their sumptuous new scent, Gucci Bloom
The first fragrance developed under the complete control of Gucci’s Creative Director, Alessandro Michele, this is a lusciously modern white floral we couldn’t wait to get our noses on.
Alessandro Michele says: ‘I wanted a rich white floral fragrance, a courageous scent that transports you to a vast garden filled with many flowers and plants, a bouquet of abundance. The garden is as beautiful as women are; colourful, wild, diverse, where there is everything. Gucci Bloom smells of this garden in order to travel to a place that is not there.’
So what does it smell like? Well it’s gloriously soaring right from the first spritz, with the mysterious scent of the (exclusive to Gucci, as far as we know) note of Rangoon Creeper – a white flower that only opens at dusk, gradually transforming to pink and finally a deep, blood red. A sparkling bouquet of tuberose and juicy jasmine garland the fragrance throughout, before soft musk slowly rolls in to billow beguilingly…
Now, feast your eyes on the eye-poppingly gorgeous mini-film – and if the sun’s not shining where you are right now, we’re sure you’ll feel a virtual glow.

Gucci Bloom – the garden of dreams…

Imagine a garden designed by Gucci – bound to be pretty fabulous, right? When we got our noses on Gucci’s latest launch, we couldn’t wait to get in Bloom…
Master perfumer Alberto Morrilas drapes layers of luminous jasmine sambac with swags of tuberose, masterfully woven throughout with sude-soft orris root and an exclusive new accord of Chinese honeysuckle. Also known as Rangoon creeper (Combretum indicum), the vine with is laden with exquisite red flowers, native to India and bedecking the glorious packaging.
To be certain, this is a garden we’d gladly get lost in!

The very first of their fragrances to have been entirely conceptulised by their creative director, Alessandro Michele, Edgar Huber, president of Coty Luxury at Coty Inc., explained Gucci Bloom as being ‘…very much inspired by Alessandro himself.’ A new perfumed pillar in the brand’s exisiting wardrobe of scents, and will stand alongside Guilty, Bamboo, Flora and Gucci by Gucci.

Effortlessly sophisticated with a style all of its own, don’t bother comparing Gucci Bloom to other white florals you may already be familiar with. In fact, we think even those who normally shun white florals altogether should give their noses a roam around this garden…
Do go and explore the scent for yourself – and enjoy the stunning window installation at Harrods!
