Météorites Le Parfum

I was at a mall trying Guerlain Parure Gold foundation(which I loved) and talking with SA about my love for Guerlain.I told her I have Guerlain Météorites Baby Glow sheer foundation and I LOVE it's scent and said I'm going to buy Météorites primer too if it has the same fragrance.she asked me so why don't you try Meteorites perfume and immediately offered me a huge spray of it before letting me saying a single word Well I knew about this perfume.I had checked it's notes and was almost sure that I'm not going to like it.I have mixed feelings about violet.I adore it in Guerlain French Kiss and Issey Miyake Pleats Please edp(the purple one) but hate it in Creed Love in Black,I'm not a fan of Guerlain Insolence edp either.my conclusion is that I like violet when it's paired with sweet notes and/or heliotrope,but I hate it when it's accompanied by woody notes and/or green notes so this perfume seemed to be a no no for me I was SO wrong!as soon as I caught a whiff of it I was in love with all my cells!I can't talk about it's notes as I didn't think of them.sure violet was the most dominant one,but I can't remember any herbal or woody masculinity.It was like violet followed by crisp apple,berry-rose and a silky musk.not too fruity,not too sweet,violet never enters the territory of sad,cold violet scents,on the contrary,it makes me feel happy.I agree with a reviewer calling it calming.Guerlain Meteorites is very calming,peaceful,youthful yet classy,friendly,super feminine,soft,pretty,delicate,it reminds me French Kiss but while French Kiss reminds lipstick,Météorites reminds face powder,both are powdery in a gorgeous,girly yet elegant way I can see that most of fragranticans aren't happy with it's longevity and sillage but I could catch lovely whiffs of it even when I was in bed,maybe because the mentioned SA had sprayed a huge amount of it on my hand That day I couldn't buy it as I had to buy some makeup stuffs but I will definitely go back for it..it can be such a lovely spring,summer everyday perfume

In 7th grade (1992, i think), i used to cover every single inch of my room (ceiling, too) with beautiful pages from W Magazine. One was an ad for Guerlain Meteorites, and i wanted them dearly. It was a pretty pricey ask for a 12 year old, but somehow my mom agreed and I cherished that little round golden box of pretty pastel pearls as if it was a box of diamonds. I was telling my brother about that memory last Christmas season and thought, "gosh, can you imagine if there was a perfume that smelled like those?" And then I came online and almost passed out when I saw this actually exists. Of course I talked about it nonstop, and then my brother gave it to me for Christmas 😊 It smells exactly the same as I remember - - like C. Howard's Violet Candy. The horribly sad thing is that it lasts just a few minutes and then it's gone. I cherish it like diamonds, too, because if I re-applied it every time it wore off, I'd go broke in a month. I wear it just before bedtime after a shower and that's how I indulge in it. It's just not worth it in the daytime 😔 I would love to know if there is anything else like it out there (not something discontinued), but so far none of the suggestions I've heard are really similar enough. Marc Jacobs Daisy comes the closest, because it features the same violet, but it still doesn't fit the bill for me.

I'm not sure what the Pearls or the original perfume smelled like so this review is purely based on my impression of this new version. My first thought was that it reminded me a bit of Insolence EDT but MUCH lighter, which is perfect for me. I tested Insolence EDT and although I really liked the scent, it was just too much. This is slightly sweet, slightly powdery, and slightly fresh. I can smell subtle hints of Granny Smith apples for the first hour or so and flowers throughout its life (most likely the violets). It dries down to a soft, creamy, delicate pearly scent. The sillage is soft and the longevity is moderate (sprayed it on about six hours ago and I can still smell it a bit on my arms). It's versatile - I feel I could wear this anywhere, anytime during any hot summer days. It could also be a nice cozy scent for a stay at home rainy day. It's just so pretty, modern, soft, light, fresh. I love it! And I think anyone at any age can absolutely enjoy this light-hearted scent. EDIT: I just wanted to add that I think this is actually long lasting, on me anyway. One day, I sprayed it 2-3x on each arm around 7am, and by dinnertime, around 6pm, although then a skin scent, I could still clearly smell it!

This incarnation of Meteorites is a whimsical delight; but like other reviewers, I can't help but be a bit wistful at the lack of longevity and sillage. I'm glad I picked it up just as it's warming up outside, and can enjoy the lightness when I don't want to feel weighed down in the heat. For me, this will definitely be a summer-only fragrance and I will likely apply with a heavy hand. Thanks to @Ayama for the very practical suggestion of making sure the spray hits my clothes as well for extra playtime. I think too, the labeling is a bit deceiving if you aren't playing close attention. "Le Parfum" is in the title, but is is also labeled as an eau de toilette, which it clearly is. If keep my expectations on the level, I don't see this at all as a disappointment. The notes to me are in an elegant balance, so even though Meteorites feels youthful and even playful, it still exudes class. I would never want this to replace any other Guerlain in my collection, but as an addition, I am very pleased.

A very beautiful, gentle and delicate fragrance. Very fairy-like and so beautifully innocent. The cool and fresh (and at the same time slightly powdery) floral tones in this one are simply adorable. Something that Guerlain often excels in. I get mostly violet, a very classy and cool violet, and just a hint of rose. The drydown reveals some innocent musk, which balances out the scent in a very refined manner. The woody notes are not evident to me. I really like this lovely and delicate creation by Guerlain and I have a feeling that this like will turn into love very soon. The bottle is also sweet and delicate, so well suited for this scent. I agree that this scent could well have been part of the Aqua Allegoria line, but since this one has it's own remarkable background I think that quite rightly justifies the fact that Guerlain made this a stand-alone scent in a bottle with a style of it's own.
