When a meteor enters Earth’s atmosphere, burning and glowing from rapid friction at high speed, the streak of light we see across the night sky stirs pure wonder. A sense of connection and intrigue about greater galactic intelligence. This fragrance is inspired by this moment of combustion and cosmic impact.

Neroli with its bright, unique citrus personality and subtle soapy end comprises the body of Metéor - a delicate impression much like the white blossoms of the bitter orange tree where this absolute comes from. Resurrection bush - revered as a symbol of transformation and resilience - serves as an anchor with its earthy and rich aroma reminiscent of dry bushveld. The resinous, warm and bittersweet scent of white myrrh shifts this profile into a more distinct form: whispers of an illuminated light muskiness meet sweet undertones to converge as a greater vision of time and space experienced from planet Earth.

In the shifting cosmos,
a fragment of phenomenon hurtles through infinite space -
its presence is felt atmospherically as it burns,
trailing a glowing streak in its wake.
From Earthside plains,
sense of time dissolves -
wide sage green eyes witness far-off sparks,
glinting,
wishing on the sweetness of the unreachable.
Golden light enspheres one’s mind
and a glimpse of an ephemeral spirit
floats through open air,
while quiet apparitions appear across vast open sky.
