Femme, 1950:
"If you are a fan of Coty perfumes, you will find their quintessence, with something new, in Météor, a light, sparkling fragrance that sounds like a fanfare. When you smell it, you might lift up a big spray of jasmine or you might have plucked three roses and two tuberoses. This fresh floral note is supported and fixed by musk, amber, civet, vanilla which firmly bind the composition without ever altering it or even imposing itself. Météor is a real luxury perfume, one of the most expensive offered to feminine refinement."

Motion Picture, 1951:
"Exciting news— especially for holiday giving— is a brand-new perfume from Coty. Meteor, its name: its scent, a spectacular and subtle blend of florals."
Combat, 1952:
"Being of the times is not just a quality that we demand of men or...women. It also applies to everything that is essential to our lives, and even more so to things of elegance. By creating its new perfume "Météor", Coty wanted to adapt to what he calls the "neo-romanticism" of our time, a climate made up of a mixture of violence and meditation, of regrets for a deceased past. and appetite for the future. “Météor,” very stylized, is a synthesis of jasmine, rose and tuberose stimulated by the presence of amber, musk, civet and vanilla. This is exactly today's fragrance, tender, heady, with a little hint of disturbing acidity which gives it all its mystery."
Combat, 1953:
"Meteor de Coty - Amber and castoreum develop the aromas of a heady bouquet where you can recognize jasmine, rose, tuberose, daffodil and gardenia. If I had to find a musical match for this fragrance, I would choose Debussy's second nocturne, the one called "Fêtes". The theme comes and goes, sometimes undecided, sometimes sneakily present, sometimes fleeing on the wing of the wind, sometimes close and haunting. Thus this elusive perfume, but which makes its nest in the subconscious."
