Guerlain Metallica (Metalys) is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2000, created by Jean-Paul Guerlain. Metallica (Metalys) opens with Bergamot, Orange, and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Spicy, Orange Blossom, Rose, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Guerlain's Metallica (Metalys) carries an Acquired verdict, a vanilla-led wear.

A truly gorgeous, spicy vanilla-floral that’s now achieved mythical status. If you can get past the ridiculous second-hand prices, you’ll find a masterpiece, though some find it a touch too soapy.

About

Metallica opens with a fleeting burst of bright citrus before settling into a warm, inviting heart of spicy carnation and creamy ylang-ylang, softened by a touch of powdery iris. The base is an opulent Guerlain signature of vanilla, tonka, and amber, creating a deep, sweet warmth that lingers beautifully. It's a rich, evolving scent, moving from bright florals to a sexy, gourmand-without-being-gourmand drydown.
