Guerlain Les Voyages Olfactifs 04 Paris-London is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011, created by Thierry Wasser. Les Voyages Olfactifs 04 Paris-London opens with Rhubarb, Bergamot, and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Rose, Violet, and Cardamom, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Vetiver, and Tea. Guerlain's Les Voyages Olfactifs 04 Paris-London carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

This one's a divisive freshie with a big personality in the opening but fumbles the follow-through. Some adore its green, dewy tartness; others are left underwhelmed by its fleeting presence, especially given the hefty price tag. Expect a love-it-or-hate-it affair.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Fall Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its clean, fresh, and non-overpowering nature makes it ideal for office wear and casual outings. However, its weak longevity means it's less suitable for occasions requiring a lasting impression like formal events or dates.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

It bursts open with a bright, tart wave of rhubarb and zesty citrus - think bergamot and grapefruit - creating an energetic green and aromatic introduction. As that settles, a delicate rose and violet heart emerges, softened and made unique by a subtle tea accord. The dry down is a whisper of clean vetiver and cedar, light and airy, though many find it vanishes far too soon.
