About this fragrance
Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.
Vega Lyra is a 1936 Guerlain floral aldehyde that opens with a bright, soapy sparkle of aldehydes, African orange flower, and bergamot. The heart is a rich, old-school bouquet: carnation, ylang-ylang, jasmine, rose, and iris, all woven together with a powdery, spicy warmth. The base rests on sandalwood, vanille, and amber, giving a soft, woody, resinous finish. This is not a shy perfume—it is a statement of vintage glamour, with a pronounced aldehydic character (100% aldehydic accord) and a strong white floral presence (98%). The woody and floral facets (94% and 92%) keep it grounded, while the powdery and warm spicy nuances (81% and 77%) add depth. It suits collectors who appreciate classic Guerlain craftsmanship and the bold, structured style of 1930s perfumery. Best for evening wear or special occasions, it will appeal to those who love rich, complex florals with a vintage soul.

Market reference & verification
Price ranges are compiled from our own recorded transactions, not from asking prices.
A batch code cannot prove authenticity on its own, but it can expose contradictions — a code that decodes to a date before the fragrance existed, or a bottle and box that disagree.
