The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2011, Le Bolshoi 2011 Edition Limitee by Guerlain is a floral fragrance that captures the essence of Jean-Paul Guerlain’s artistry. The composition opens with a bright and zesty blend of neroli, bergamot, and bitter orange, creating an immediate sense of freshness and vibrancy. As it settles into its heart, violet and African orange flower add a delicate complexity, while jasmine and ylang-ylang infuse the scent with floral warmth. The base notes of tonka bean, vanilla, and musk provide a sweet and powdery finish that lingers softly on the skin.
Apply this fragrance to pulse points for a gentle, lasting presence. The floral heart notes bloom over time, so it's best to apply early in the day or before an evening event when you want a scent that evolves with you.
