Guerlain Meteorites Parfum Review: A Powdery Violet Dream

An ethereal, powdery floral that captures the essence of spring.

By Isabella Romano, Master Fragrance Reviewer ·

Guerlain Meteorites Parfum is a tribute to the iconic Meteorites makeup powder, a beloved product that has graced vanities for decades. This fragrance, launched in 2018, seeks to capture the same soft, luminous, and ethereal quality that made the powder a legend. In its Parfum concentration, the scent is rendered with even greater depth and intimacy, offering a whisper of elegance rather than a shout.

From the first spritz, Meteorites Parfum envelops the wearer in a cloud of powdery violet and delicate florals, underpinned by a subtle green freshness. It is a fragrance that feels like a gentle caress, perfect for those who appreciate subtlety and grace. The composition is masterfully crafted by Thierry Wasser, who has taken the original EDT's airy charm and given it a more substantial, yet still ethereal, presence.

This review delves into the nuances of the Parfum concentration, exploring its notes, evolution, and overall character. Whether you are a longtime fan of the Meteorites line or new to Guerlain's world, this fragrance offers a unique olfactory experience that is both nostalgic and modern.
