Miss Feminity
Unique!
I was looking for it so long, and finally I found a half full bottle ...
The scent is absolutely feminine.An aroma for every boudoir of a woman .Magnificent!
Heliotrope and violet-iris synthesis.Sweet, soft and powdery. Enchanting, caring and dreamy.
The sample i smelled years ago and i was captivated ... but the scent was recorded in my memory.
A gift to womanhood, a Guerlain fragrance that is not addressed in the dynamic and headstrong woman fatally (see Shalimar). A fragrance that appeals to the dreamer, sensitive and romantic ...
The eternal feminity!

Soft powdery iris
I got this perfume few years ago. Personally I prefer the Guerlain Meteorites 100ml version.
This perfume is more powdery and has an old vibe.
The juice is light yellow in colour and the gold symbol and gold cap go well together.
However it's hard to find this bottle these days.
What a soft and powdery iris

Make Up in a Mortar??
Good evening, my dear fans! Did you miss me? Probably not,… I’m here almost every evening anyway, so surely no one misses me *sigh* On the contrary, maybe I’m already too much for some of you (but I DON’T want to know!!!!) *sigh again*

Today, I’m talking about Météorites by Guerlain. No, this is not some classic video game… probably the women didn’t think that anyway… but some guys might think of classic old games like Asteroids with that name (there is also the game Meteorites on the Atari 5200, but no one probably knows that). Guys like me, who then underline again that they played a lot of video games in their childhood and still play a lot of them or at least know all the titles. Useless knowledge that makes us seem even more nerdy and loser-like to women, who then somehow are even meaner to us *sigh for the third time*
Yes, yes, hey… did I already say that women can be beasts? No! I haven’t mentioned that in this comment yet, so I can heartily shout again: Women are BEEEEASTS!!! :DDD

He he, but back to the scent. It is the predecessor of the recently released Météorites Le Parfum, which I have also commented on, but I found it rather average and boring, especially for a Guerlain fragrance. However, since I unfortunately don’t remember how the 2018 scent smelled, I can’t compare the two fragrances and will therefore describe this one, as I often do, simply as an independent scent. And in case you didn’t know: The Météorites by Guerlain are not new fragrance lines, but owe their name to the similarly named powder pearl products that come from Guerlain's makeup range, which you ladies obviously knew because you are beasts! Uh, no wait, that just slipped out, I meant to say because you are much more interested in makeup than we guys (though we must sadly admit that you can really look sweet with not overly applied makeup,… *sighsigh*).
But now to the scent!

The scent:
Oh, the fragrance pyramid listed here hits the mark perfectly. You can really smell everything that is shown from the very beginning, all at once. I smell green notes that feel fresh. Then I smell beautiful, floral-sweet violets that also appear powdery, and the powdery aura is intensified by the iris. Next, I can also perceive the heliotrope, as this flower not only gives off a lovely sweet scent but also comes across quite almond-like.
The green notes quickly fade and become, in my opinion, the weakest fragrance note here. Basically, the scent remains like that, so that in the end it smells beautifully sweet, powdery, and still slightly floral. However, it is nothing special in itself, as you know enough scents like this. But anyway, it’s nice.

The sillage and longevity:
The sillage is rather weak. I think you can smell the fragrance well for a short while, but others can hardly smell it or only from up close. Therefore, the longevity seems a bit less, around four to six hours, of which the scent radiates relatively weakly for at least half of that time.

The bottle:
The bottle is round or disc-shaped and clear. A gilded, flower- or mandala-like pattern has been applied to the front and back, which can also be found on the top of the gilded cap. All in all, a beautiful bottle, but it also appears a bit old-fashioned (like a fragrance from the 80s).

So,… the scent itself is not bad. It starts off quite nicely and pleasantly, as it smells sweet and floral, and I bet it must smell very pleasant, especially on the skin of beasts… I mean women, of course :D

However, the beginning is also the greatest strength of the scent, as it soon weakens too much, and given that it already has a low sillage. This makes it somewhat less significant later on, as you can only barely perceive the scent with effort, and while it remains nice, it also smells a bit interchangeable without any real recognizability. If it were a rather cheap fragrance, I would say that you could easily wear it in spring and summer during the day for yourself or as a subtle scent at work, but I think there are much prettier and stronger fragrances from Guerlain for that price. Well, it’s just one of those scents that smell nice but that you (or women) don’t really need. So just test it out yourself if you happen to see it, as I believe the scent is no longer on the market.

That’s it for now! I wish you beasts a lovely evening :)))

PS: … what in the world are powder pearls anyway?? Do you have to crush them in a mortar first to be able to apply them or what? To me, the colorful pearls look like little candies made of grape sugar, somehow… delicious!! :DD

The Meteor Shower by Guerlain
The name Météorites has been used by Guerlain for 3 fragrances (including 1 room fragrance) and the powders, which were pressed and available in pearl form, in countless variations. This can certainly cause a bit of confusion. Météorites Le Parfum was released this year, but my thoughts revolve around the Millennium Météorites.
It was only available as a 50 ml EdT spray, limited, around the turn of the millennium, at a low price. So to speak, a child of the "difficult years" at Guerlain, shortly after the sale to LVMH, when the atypical Secret Intentions was also launched and Guerlain seemed a bit identity-less.
Météorites 2000, however, is "completely Guerlain," has a clear identity, and practically nothing in common with this year's Snow White fragrance Météorites Le Parfum, except perhaps a noticeable iris concentration. This is present only in the early development, later it is hardly discernible, but rather an increasing fresh, cool creaminess that reminds me very much of the scent of the face care line Orchidée Imperiale from the same house. There is nothing sweet-floral here, and it is not as powdery as I would have expected. Green, slightly spicy cream with a violet note and a slight woody touch. In the base, I even sense hints of Jardins de Bagatelle.
A naturally fragrant surprise!

Violet Blue
Today the meteorite floated to me.

My dear friend sent it to me - and it seems to have fallen straight from heaven, where the little prince carefully tends to his rose.

Alongside the enchanting violet scent, the dark red rose Caprice also blooms.
It envelops the lush violet in velvet.
Delicate lilac creates a light purple background.
The iris gently dusts, and one walks on soft grass green.

So may the little prince stroll on his dreamy planet.

The fragrance has an emotionally fairytale quality that touches me.

Even the rational husband cannot escape the starry magic.
"A new fragrance? Violet Blue - like your eyes."

That sounds like a compliment I gladly accept.

Just like the loving gift of fragrance.

Now this is aristocracy: an intense heliotrope (under a thin violet veneer) as soft and opaque and ruthless as hydrated lime.

@Metéorites 2000: it was lovely, gentle, friendly and ran out quickly for me. The subtle yet distinct heliotrope note was graceful.

Gnarled iris and bitter almond-spiced heliotrope. Powdery dense. In the base, the radiant violet finally reveals itself. I'm at peace.

Will it really be repeated next spring with the same pyramid? I would buy it right away.
