The Story

Launched in 2012 by Guerlain, Le Bolshoi Saison 2012 La Traviata is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance crafted by Jean-Paul Guerlain. The composition opens with bright citrus notes like bergamot and bitter orange, leading to a heart of white florals such as jasmine and ylang-ylang. These are anchored by warm amber, vanilla, and tonka bean in the base, creating a harmonious blend that evokes both brightness and warmth. This fragrance captures the essence of Guerlain's luxurious use of materials and their innovative spirit.

Application Tips

Apply two sprays to capture the full transition from bright citrus to warm vanilla. The fragrance blooms over time, so allow it to settle on your skin rather than layering heavily.

Jean-Paul Guerlain portrait
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.
