About this fragrance
Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.
Voile de Nuit (1933) is a woody Guerlain that opens with a sharp green-citrus burst: galbanum, bergamot, lemon, orange, mandarin, and orange blossom, with narcissus adding a honeyed floral edge. The heart turns powdery and cool, dominated by iris and orris root, lifted by aldehydes and softened by violet, rose, jasmine, carnation, and a touch of vanilla. The base is earthy and woody: oakmoss, sandalwood, spices, and musk create a grounded, slightly austere finish. The main accords—powdery (100%), iris (89%), green (80%), earthy (78%), woody (76%), citrus (68%)—describe a fragrance that is more about texture and atmosphere than sweetness.
This is for collectors who appreciate vintage iris and galbanum compositions, especially those who enjoy the austere elegance of early 20th-century Guerlain. It suits cool weather and formal or contemplative settings, not casual daytime wear. The green opening may feel stark to modern noses, but the powdery iris and mossy base reward patience. Ideal for someone who values quiet complexity over projection.

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.
