Hello and welcome! Please understand that this website is not affiliated with Guerlain in any way, it is only a reference site for collectors and those who have enjoyed the classic fragrances of days gone by. All trademarks belong to their respective owners. The main objective of this website is to chronicle the 200+ year old history of the Guerlain fragrances and showcase the bottles and advertising used throughout the years. Let this site be your source for information on antique and vintage Guerlain perfumes. Another goal of this website is to show the present owners of the Guerlain company how much we miss many of the discontinued classics and hopefully, if they see that there is enough interest and demand, they will bring back these fragrances! I invite you to leave a comment below (for example: of why you liked the fragrance, describe the scent, time period or age you wore it, who gave it to you or on what occasion, what it smelled like to you, how it made you feel, any specific memories, what it reminded you of, maybe a relative wore it, or you remembered seeing the bottle on their vanity table), who knows, perhaps someone from the current Guerlain brand might see it. If you have any questions, please send all images of your bottle and pertinent information directly to me at cleopatrasboudoir@gmail.com. I will try to assist you the best I can.

Cachet Jaune by Guerlain c1937

Cachet Jaune: (Yellow Stamp/Seal) Created by Jacques Guerlain in 1937, it was a favorite of his mother. It was inspired by a love story where the letters were sealed with a seal of yellow wax.

So what does it smell like? It is classified as a floral amber fragrance for women enhanced with spices and lots of vanilla.

The New Yorker, 1937:

Fate of the Fragrance:

I don't know when it was discontinued but it was still being sold in 1956, this delightful fragrance was discontinued for years.
