About this fragrance
Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.
Vega (1936) is a floral aldehyde from Guerlain, built on a classic structure: aldehydes, African orange flower, and bergamot open with a bright, soapy sparkle. The heart is a dense bouquet of carnation, ylang-ylang, jasmine, rose, and iris, giving a rich, spicy-floral character with a cool, powdery iris undertone. The base of sandalwood, vanille, and amber anchors the composition with warmth and depth. Collectors should note the high aldehydic and white floral accords—this is not a shy scent. It suits those who appreciate vintage Guerlain elegance, especially fans of powdery, spicy florals. Best for evening wear or cool weather, where its complexity can unfold. The absence of a named perfumer adds to its mystery, but the house style is unmistakable. For anyone seeking a true 1930s floral aldehyde with presence, Vega is a compelling choice.

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.
