Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Eau Sauvage Cologne
A modern, zesty citrus blast that gets the job done for hotter days. It's divisive, with some loving its fresh energy and others finding it too synthetic or simply preferring the original. Performance for a 'cologne' concentration is surprisingly decent, though some find it fleeting.

Our Verdict - Meteore Eau de Parfum
Louis Vuitton's Meteore is Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud's bright-citrus-and-Java-vetiver designer-niche from 2020 - sometimes called the spiritual successor to Davidoff Cool Water at a much higher price tier. No. 196 holds the triple-citrus opening cleanly; the original's particular metallic-mineral character is the part EV cannot replicate.
