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.

I just...wow. This was love at first sight AND love at first smell. Through the shop window I saw a beautiful pink bottle and had to go in and smell (through my face mask) it, and I almost dropped it to the floor because I was so shocked and excited. The most amazing greenish pink smell I have ever smelled. Its smells like a mix of a bright pink sunset on a walk home from a social gathering, my grandmothers old applegarden and my mothers powder boxes growing up. I get violets, powder, green apples, a little musk and maybe some pink flowers from this. I didnt buy it at the store that day when I first smelled it, but I thought about it, beautiful pink bottle and that pretty smell, for weeks (!!) until I could not resist buying it. Now I am using it everyday and I get so many compliments! Even a stranger at the bus stop said I smelled incredibily good. Im so happy. 10/10 for me

I used to own the original Meteorites and loved it, even though I've grown a bit tired of it at the end, as it was lovely and ethereal yet very linear. This new creation didn't seem enticing at all (I'm not that fond of apple scents). I didn't even intend to look for it at the shops. My mom, being the Guerlain connaisseur that she is, decided to surprise me and gifted me with a very pretty bottle of the new version of Meteorites. What a pleasant surprise! The apple is not prominent at all on my skin and the scent is actually deeper, more complex and better balanced than the original! I love the woody dry down, the unsweetened green and powdery facets of the violet note and the enchanting grown-up-fairy allure of it all. Great scent, such bliss :)

I took one look at the bottle and I was prepared to pre judge this as a synthetic bomb. (Guerlain, give this perfume better packaging! I get that the plastic lid is supposed to look and feel like a Meteorites ball now!) This is a lovely fresh, violet, apple fruity floral. Not like a lolly, not synthetic smelling, not cloying, not too perfumey. Just right. Creating a Meteorites perfume must have been a tricky brief. Thierry Wasser did a good job. Does it smell like my Meteorites? Yes, close enough. The best part for me, no headache inducing ingredients. This perfume blossoms in cooler weather, fading in extreme heat. I really do like this perfume, because I can wear it on a hot day and still feel fresh.

I have never tested the original, early-00s version of Les Meteorites, so I can't compare it to its present-day incarnation. First, I have to say that this new version definitely smells like makeup, it's got that powdery-lipsticky vibe, and in that sense it does exactly what it says on the tin (i.e. on the bottle - which is, by the way, very pretty). To me, this is a very diluted, kiddie-friendly offshot of the violet-bomb that is Insolence EDP. Obviously, it has nothing of Insolence's monster sillage and longevity. I presume that the intended target group for this scent comprises teenage girls, or even preteens. I'm not exactly old, but I feel way too grown-up for this!

This is a scent for those who love the Guerlain meteorites powder. Go to a makeup counter and sniff the Guerlain pearls, that is exactly what this perfume smells like! Guerlain pearls are a collectors item in the beauty world and the artful containers the powders come in are refillable so they can be with you for a lifetime. The scent is light - but I wouldn't call it a skin scent... it's just not heavy in the least. I find something classic in the violet and musk that smells very similar to other fragrances but is still entirely unique here. While I rate this a true 10/10, I think for most this would be an acquired taste and only 6/10 in the popular market.

I'm falling for this new rendition of Meteorites! It's updated and modern. No, it is not identical to the pearls, it's less violetty and more fresh and light with the apple being very noticeable. It's still very powdery, but not stuffy at all. It is perfect for summer. Fresh and clean on this very hot humid day. At first I wasn't impressed at all as it's very quiet and short lived. I've been testing it for 5 days now, and I've definitely fallen in love. Yes, it's short lived, but it does last on clothing and is just addictive, especially if you like fresh and powdery scents. Simple, daytime scent that still expresses Guerlain quality. Ageless

People, i’m very happy to inform you that Meteorites is back on Guerlain’s official website, so i guess it’s been put back into production! That’s great as i do love this perfume. Honestly, performances could and should be better, especially for a Guerlain that’s not really cheap, but that violet, that beautiful powdery note and that freshness at the same time.. it’s soft like a cloud, reassuring, bright and happy, but absolutely versatile: you can wear it whatever age you are and whatever occasion or time of the day it is! Meteorites doesn’t evolve very much, it’s linear and amazing, from the beginning ‘til the end. 🎀

I didn’t plan to buy Guerlain Meteorites; but I found a very good deal (50% discount on its RRP) and simply couldn’t resist! Now that I have it, it’s gonna be my safe, office-friendly everyday fragrance this spring and summer. It’s very soft, powdery (but not dusty), calming, classy and pleasant. I can’t imagine anyone complaining about this fragrance - it’s the epitome of inoffensiveness. It projects softly but lasts about 5-6 hours. I could imagine someone like Catherine, Dutchess of Cambridge wearing this fragrance for her official royal duties.

This is such a lovely soft floral which gives me violet and gives me a very feminie young woman vibe. It’s not one that screams I’m here it just softly announces itself and after about 2 hours becomes a skin scent. It’s actually very lovely and soft and one to keep out for spring and summer. This makes me smell clean and fresh like a “just got out of shower” scent. Guerlain always makes some of the best fragrances out there and worth money IMHO. Recommended 10/10 not one to wear in fall but do what you want....who am I to day 😂

Two testers arrived at Myer today, the main stock doesn’t arrive until May 13. Everyone was nervous about the green apple opening, but worry not - it is extremely fleeting and doesn’t auger a fruit salad composition. Better than expected lasting power, about 6 hours, violets galore but fresh - more substance than the Allegoria range. Yes I will be getting a bottle when the stock becomes available. There’s no way I will be missing out on this one. It’s pretty, whimsical, ethereal, vintage smelling and incredibly feminine.

Fresh, yet powdery, effortless, undemanding summer veil, creating fresh aura that never fades away of such a well done light violets and rose, mixed with green fruits, bordering with tart taste in your mouth. I find it great for summer time, you get this creamy-clean, intriguing floral-fruity trail, that turns into woody deep sensation of forest, tree bark after the rain. Rejuvenating fragrance, which is not as simple as it seems. Thierry Wasser is a master to create fantastic aquarells in a world of fragrances.

Excellent green apple-based opener. On my skin, the apple is barely noticeable, and the perfume is deeper, more complex, and more balanced. Longer lasting strength than thought, around 6 hours, violets aplenty yet fresh. I adore the woody dry down, the unsweetened green and powdery aspects of the violet note, and the enchantment of it all. It's lovely, fanciful, ethereal, smells antique, and is wonderfully feminine.

This is one of my very favourite fragrances! At first it smells just like C. Howard’s Violet candies! After a while, then the other notes are more noticeable, but the violet scent never leaves. And yes, it does smell like Guerlain Meteorites powder pearls as it is a very powdery scent. The silage and longevity are both soft, but that suits the fragrance. So I do refresh this one after about 3 hours.

A very light, airy, and pretty fragrance. It's a soft floral with rounded edges. On me, it acts more like a body mist, with little silage, which is not surprising because it is an EDT not a perfume. This is a fragrance that is not going to offend anyone, and for me, that's a good thing.

The beautiful scent of Meteorites powder, but it's creamy rather than being powdery. Stays close to skin. Similar with Chanel Chance Eau Tendre and Marc Jacobs Daisy; warm, creamy and has a nice sweetness of fruits. Uplifting and relaxing.
