Guerlilas(1930)
Guerlain · Jacques Guerlain · Floral
At a glance
A lilac soliflore from Jacques Guerlain, opening on bergamot before the lilac heart, closing on musk, woods, and vanilla. Its name blends Guerlain directly with lilas, the French word for lilac, a portmanteau naming device the house used occasionally to stamp a simple soliflore with a more distinctive, brand-specific identity. The added vanilla in the base gives it a softer, sweeter finish than a plainer lilac composition.

This scent's vanilla note relies on vanillin, the compound that made vanilla affordable worldwide — first synthesized in 1874.
