Fragrance information:

Metallica (Metalys) Guerlain arrived in 2000 — and it was immediately clear this one was here to stay. A feminine fragrance from the spicy and east families. This fragrance is the personal signature of perfumer Jean-Paul Guerlain. An eau de toilette — light-footed, but utterly unforgettable.

The longevity is high — this one will stay with you for the long haul. Made in France. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.

Key fragrance characteristics

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The composition of Metallica (Metalys) is shaped as a living composition, where accents shift without rush and without gaps. The style of Guerlain comes through from the opening to the final trail. No excess details, only what works, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de toilette keeps the right density and pace of development.

As soon as the fragrance opens you sense invigorating sunny first notes: Bergamot, Grapefruit and Orange. Exactly these 3 notes build sunny vitality that gives the fragrance a clear opening statement.

In the middle phase you notice Clove, Iris and Rose keeping a velvety rose-iris direction.

The accord profile is shaped by these accords: Citrus, Floral, Musc and Powdery without random overlap. Background accords such as Spicy add depth to the backdrop. The profile is feminine, which clarifies the composition character.

At olfactory-group level the composition is built around Citrus, Spicy, Floral and Gourmet. The palette also extends to Musk. Within olfactory families the fragrance belongs to East and Spicy.

Overall Metallica (Metalys) reads as a cohesive composition — the opening sets direction, the central phase adds depth, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. These are the fragrances best experienced on skin.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence
High (5 to 12 hours)

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.

The vanilla here is spicy, but the other notes somehow aren't perceptible. The fragrance creates an atmosphere of comfort and warmth, as if embracing you 😔

The fragrance is sweet, of course - orange, honeyed flowers, and vanilla. But, honestly, it's too heavy. Beautiful, yes, but for older women, in my opinion. Not for young ladies, but for those who already know what life is about. In short, if you're looking for something light and fresh, this isn't your option
