Météore by Louis Vuitton

Top quality and attention to detail, but the average performance doesn’t justify the price. It smells just like the wipes I use to bathe my dog in winter. If you have extra cash, go for it; otherwise, there are better citrus options out there.

LV perfumes are well-made and high quality, that’s undeniable, but the scents aren’t anything extraordinary. They won’t blow your mind with something you’ve never smelled, unless you’re a complete beginner. I don’t spend that much on citrus; I already have Acqua di Parma, and the only niche one I bought was Ombre Nomade. If you can afford it and money isn’t an issue, they’re good.

10 out of 10.

Overrated. I don’t find any depth to it; it just smells like soap.

The ultimate fresh scent. Maybe the price is high, but you’re paying for luxury. Top-tier ingredients that convey sporty luxury without being loud. Performance is average, which fits its composition. After this, I’m not sure what else could convey so much sophistication and elegance. And yes, it’s better than the hyped Imagination, which is good but not as good as Meteore. L’Immensité could work for the office, while Meteore is perfect for playing golf, tennis, or hanging out with partners at the club.

A wonderful citrus fragrance. You can immediately tell the supreme quality of the essences from the first spray.

Meteore is the delicate, refined version of Dior Sauvage or Blue de Chanel. It opens with a rich mandarin and citrus profile, then reveals peppery notes that aren’t as aggressive as Sauvage’s (that’s where the ‘refined’ part comes in), leading into a very soft facet. Every perfume is subjective, but to me, it smells like baby wipes. That’s the only thing that doesn’t quite convince me about Meteore; it’s excessively expensive for a relatively simple scent. However, the ingredients always feel top-tier, and it lasts longer than typical blue fragrances. As with everything, it has its pros and cons.

A scent for hot days. On my dry skin, vetiver dominates, along with citrus, a hint of pink pepper, and a touch of neroli. It smells clean and elegant, perfect for formal wear. The projection and sillage are low, but it lasts 6 to 8 hours (with 8 to 10 sprays).

It’s 3:33 PM and I’ve been wearing it since 12:50. It reminds me a lot of Azzaro Chrome; in terms of quality, it’s better (less synthetic), but they are very similar. It doesn’t have insane projection or smell like a meteorite. It stays close to the skin but smells exquisitely clean. I have 60 perfumes and I’m going to compare it seriously with the Chrome to clear up my doubts, but if you’re looking for an affordable version, try the Chrome first.

🔎👃🏻 SPICED, MALE, ELEGANT 👃🏻🔍 Another case where a fragrance’s ‘simplicity’ has drawn some criticism within the perfume community (few, thank god). Curiously, it’s similar to what happened to Elysium by Roja Dove back in the day, which, all said and done, won the olfactory battle. If you like it, you like it, period. What are we dealing with here? A perfume that, to my nose, exudes masculinity, cleanliness, and elegance. Heads up: if those three traits aren’t your thing, I’ll save you time and say don’t bother trying it. There’s been a lot of talk about ‘blue’ fragrances, like Bleu de Chanel, Sauvage by Dior, Y by Yves Saint Laurent, or Dylan Blue by Versace. Well, Météore follows that same path, especially the Eau de Parfum version of Bleu (though I’m not saying they smell identical), but it’s much more refined, well-made, fresh, and invigorating. To me, it improves on the original by emphasizing that clean, just-out-of-the-shower vibe. It doesn’t aim to be a complex scent with a thousand twists and turns; instead, it simply wants you to look at your shelf and think there’s no other option, making anyone who smells it want more and more sprays of that addictive essence, leaving a unique olfactory signature. It’s also elegant, polished, and unobtrusive, fitting almost any situation or weather, though in spring and summer it gives a boost that, believe me, will be noticeable. Yes, but what about performance? At that price, you expect at least the basics… Well, on my skin, it lasts perfectly around ten hours, projecting well for the first three and fading very slowly after that. On clothes? It can last a couple of days, though more softly. All in all, for me, it’s a must-have. What about you? The best way is to test it on your skin without hesitation (they’re testers, so don’t be shy about ‘bathing’ in them) and draw your own conclusions, preferably on a sunny morning to enhance the experience 👍🏻 🔝 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I’m writing again to add that I read a description I think hits the nail on the head: ‘It’s like having spent the whole afternoon swimming in a pool, taking a refreshing shower, and stepping out onto the street changed, relaxed, and spotless.’ Best regards.

Thank God I don’t smell what others mention about it being like repellent or insecticide. I absolutely loved it; it’s a really good scent. I’m… wow, I can’t even explain it, but I fell in love with this fragrance. It’s chic, masculine, but not lumberjack-style; it’s elegant, youthful, and charismatic. It has something indescribable, this ‘something special’ that I can’t quite put into words.

I tested a sample on my skin and it’s very, very similar to Green Pearl by Thameen. It’s fresh, clean, easy to wear, and floats beautifully in the air. It has a lovely luxurious look. I prefer others in the collection, but overall it’s good and a solid perfume. Miaooo😊

Look, honestly, I have mixed feelings about this one. I tried it at the boutique and it caught me off guard because it doesn’t follow the house’s usual script. I pictured it as a summer scent due to its fresh opening and distinct nuances. Then, two days later, it arrived home as a personalized gift in a 200ml bottle. What a nice surprise (and an expensive one). Well, a year and a half later, the bottle is half empty. My best friend’s first reaction was: ‘Smells like insecticide, man.’ Ouch. I wear LV perfumes, you have no idea… Friend, I did have it. After that, I got obsessed trying to figure out why that damn scent also reminded me of some chemical product… Jackpot! It has a very, very fresh, citrusy, and acidic opening, a blast of tangerine, like peeling the skin and getting hit with citric acid (a nod to Hermès’ green oranges) up to that point, it’s fine. A few minutes in, it evolves: pink pepper, maybe some cold metallic notes, definitely a non-warm nutmeg, extremely bitter, and finally the secret ingredient, citronella (though I can’t tell if it’s a blend of the previous notes or pure citronella, potent, bitter, and I’d even say spicy). For those who don’t know, citronella is a natural mosquito repellent, very citrusy, and depending on the origin, sweeter or more bitter, effectively hitting you with AUTAN on the skin. And the worst part is that it stays there; it’s intense and barely evolves further into a bitter wood again, and I’d even dare say rancid. A real shame, do you want a 300-euro bottle of mosquito repellent? I’ll give it to you. The only good thing I can say is that I associate that aroma with the beach and summer, which is obvious, but honestly, I’m going to struggle to finish the bottle. Sorry to be so critical, it’s just my personal opinion, but sincerely, I think it’s a waste of money for what this perfume offers. Meteor is the one I have in my heart for this gift.
