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.

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.
