Vera Wang Classic Eau de Parfum 1.7 oz 50ml Original Coty Formula Vintage 2006
An elegant early bottle of Vera Wang's signature fragrance, this circa 2006 example dates to only a few years after the scent's 2002 introduction. Created as a sophisticated romantic floral closely associated with Vera Wang's bridal aesthetic, the fragrance was the designer's first women's perfume and remains one of the defining scents of the early Vera Wang fragrance collection.
Available today is this lovely, circa 2006 vintage, original and authentic (Batch Number: 6160; Reference Number: BQ3747100; UPC: 031655685786), made in the USA, classic Vera Wang eau de parfum spray in a generous 1.7-ounce (50ml) size by Vera Wang Fragrances and distributed by Coty Prestige. All photos were taken at high magnification to best highlight overall item condition. The buyer will receive the exact item pictured. Dating & Authentication
The Batch Number 6160 dates this bottle to approximately 2006, placing it only about four years after Vera Wang's signature fragrance debuted. Additional period identifiers include the Coty Prestige distribution information, Reference Number BQ3747100, UPC 031655685786, Made in U.S.A. marking, and the early bottle and labeling configuration. This is an early Coty Prestige-distributed example rather than one of the later-production bottles of Vera Wang's signature fragrance. Condition
This bottle is in excellent vintage condition. The substantial clear glass bottle presents beautifully, with its pale blush-colored fragrance, silver-tone collar, and oversized faceted clear cap. The printed Vera Wang name remains crisp and intact. The bottle does not include its original presentation box. Please review all photographs carefully, as they show the exact item being offered. Why This Item Stands Out
This circa 2006 bottle represents an early example of Vera Wang's original signature women's fragrance, dating to approximately four years after its introduction and to the formative years of the Vera Wang fragrance collection. Unlike the numerous named fragrances and flankers that followed, this is the original simply titled Vera Wang.
Its presentation is equally distinctive. The substantial architectural glass bottle incorporates a softly curved interior reservoir containing the pale blush fragrance, finished with a silver-tone collar and oversized faceted cap. The restrained design reflects the elegant bridal and luxury aesthetic for which Vera Wang was already internationally recognized. Collector's Notes
Vera Wang entered women's fine fragrance with her signature scent in 2002. Created by perfumers Jean-Claude Delville and Harry Frémont, the fragrance established the designer in the prestige fragrance market and complemented the romantic aesthetic of her internationally recognized bridal collections.
This circa 2006 bottle is especially appealing as a collectible because it dates close to the beginning of the Vera Wang fragrance line and represents an early Coty Prestige-distributed production of the original signature scent. Fragrance History:

Fragrance Notes
Vera Wang is classified as a floral fragrance. The composition opens with Bulgarian rose, calla lily, and mandarin blossom. The heart features gardenia, lotus, and white stephanotis, resting on a soft base of sheer musk, white woods, and precious floral nectar. The overall composition is romantic, polished, and distinctly floral, reflecting the sophisticated bridal aesthetic closely associated with Vera Wang.
