Which Should You Buy?
Divisive. While some rave about its luxurious clean scent and impressive longevity, an equal number are put off by a persistent 'latex balloon' or 'baby wipes' accord. Try before you buy, unless you really, really love fancy rubber.
Le Meteore takes its structure from Louis Vuitton's Météore - citrus and pepper over a Java vetiver base - but drops much of the creamy, iron-fresh dry-down that reviewers single out as the original's best trait.

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its strong projection and clean, energising profile make it excellent for casual wear or sport, evoking a 'fresh out of the shower' feeling. However, for formal settings or the office, its boldness might be a bit much, especially given the polarising notes some detect.
