    I don't understand the bad reviews for this exquisite fragrance, but I conclude it just underlines how much perfume is about individual taste. Metalys strikes me as an intellectual hiding...

    Finally got my hands on an ORIGINAL bottle of METALLICA! I was so excited to try this and to have something so coveted (gee im pathetic...) Anyway, I sprayed it and got a mildly spicy carnation, I...

    Yet another screaming stinker from Jean Paul Guerlain. Yes, I've decided that it is he who is ruining the things I love about all Guerlain fragrances....which are subtlety, refinement, complexity,...

    Metalys is very well blended and therefore must be sniffed -and sniffed again- in order to distinguish the notes from one another. This is a rich, deep, sweet, and spicy vanilla concoction that...

    At last, thanks to a swap with mundy, I got to sample this one. Like other "big" Guerlains (Vol de Nuit, L'Heure Bleu, Jicky, Mitsouko, etc.), Metallica is a surprising composition that's so well...

    I bought a bottle of this in 2000- just before Guerlain took these off the shelves after Metallica the band sued them. I forgot I had this, until the other day I found it still boxed, hidden in my...

    I am lucky enough to have some of the original Metallic . I am wrapped up in it like a warm blanket. It has taken to my skin like it was made for me. yes it is a floral with a tiny bit of...

    At last, I have finally gotton around to reviewing this beauty. I was given a sample vial of this a while back and it did nothing for me. Then , a wonderful MUA'er gave me a decant of this and it...

    Metallica just did not work for me at all. Virtually all I could detect was spice, spice and more spice - oh, and with a little carnation thrown in. I certainly couldn't smell any violets or...

    Metallica is one of those scents whose discontinuation boggles the mind (IMO Lars Ulrich should have been FLATTERED that his band was lucky enough to share its name with this fragrance), and I am...

    Florals and aldehydes on my skin tend to act like gangs of rowdies - swearing, kicking, spitting, farting and doing just about everything to alienate me. Metalys, however, has all the charm of a...

    Gorgeous, subdued carnation with hints of spice, warm vanilla and soft violet. The most beautiful carnation I have found. The drydown is soft and powdery, very pleasant. My very favorite Guerlain...

    Wearing this made me reflect on how easy it is to put too much carnation in something. Also, from my previous experiences with fragrances claiming to have a "metal" note (Paco Rabanne's Metal,...

    Guerlain has re-released two of its limited edition fragrances at its boutiques. No. 25 was formerly Metallica, of the gorgeously gaudy bottle and the infamous lawsuit. It opens up with a...
