Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Météore EDP
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.
Statement
Our Verdict - Fireball EDP
Fireball chases Louis Vuitton's Meteore - the juicy citrus opening over a clean, peppery vetiver. It captures that fresh-out-of-the-shower brightness and the spicy-aromatic heart, but renders it flatter, with the original's signature smooth Iso E vetiver simplified and projection pulled in to a closer wear.

Météore

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

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.
