Heritage Eau de Toilette, launched by Guerlain in 1992 and crafted by Jean-Paul Guerlain, is an aromatic woody fragrance that embodies the house’s tradition of using luxurious materials. The composition opens with aldehydes and fresh citrus notes like bergamot and lemon, creating a crisp and vibrant top layer. As it develops, lavender and clary sage bring a subtle herbal warmth, while patchouli adds depth and earthiness. The base notes of sandalwood, amber, oakmoss, cedar, and musk provide a rich, powdery foundation that grounds the scent.

Application Tips
Apply Heritage Eau de Toilette to pulse points for a subtle yet lasting effect. The aldehydes and citrus notes are bright but fade within a couple of hours, so reapply if you want to maintain the opening freshness throughout the day.
Jean-Paul Guerlain
Founding perfumer · 89 fragrances · b. 1937 · French
“I am the last Guerlain to make perfume. After me, the house continues — but the family chapter closes.”
Jean-Paul Guerlain is the fourth and final generation of Guerlain family perfumers, a lineage that spans nearly two centuries of French fragrance history. Taking the creative helm of the house in 1955, he continued the family's tradition of creating deeply personal, emotionally rich fragrances. His masterpieces — Habit Rouge, Vétiver, Samsara, and Héritage — are cornerstones of the perfume canon. Jean-Paul brought a more modern, sometimes daring sensibility to the Guerlain tradition, while always maintaining the house's legendary commitment to the finest raw materials.
