Météorites Le Parfum
by Guerlain
Météorites Le Parfum by Guerlain is a soft, ethereal, and youthful fragrance that captures the scent of the iconic makeup pearls. It opens with a crisp green apple and bergamot, delivering a fleeting but refreshing burst that transitions quickly into a delicate, powdery violet heart. The core of the fragrance is a lightly sweet, airy, and creamy violet that lingers with a sense of innocence and elegance, reminiscent of face powder or soft, pastel-colored makeup. Beneath, a subtle white musk and woody base adds a gentle depth, grounding the sweetness without overwhelming it. While some reviewers note the apple top note fades quickly and the fragrance remains relatively linear, the dry-down is consistently described as a gentle, cloud-like powder that floats just above the skin, maintaining a serene, feminine allure throughout the day.
