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.

Our Verdict - Kyoto 99 EDP
Kyoto 99 is The Parfum Hub's take on Louis Vuitton's Meteore, leaning even harder into the sparkling citrus opening while the neroli-pepper-cardamom heart and vetiver base come across simpler and shorter-lived than the original. It captures the fresh, sophisticated citrus-vetiver character for a fraction of the price, but fades to almost nothing well before the original's steady all-day performance runs out.

Season and Occasion Fit

Météore

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

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.

Kyoto 99

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

The vivid citrus opening and light vetiver base are built for warm weather, feeling out of place in the depth of winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Sport

Clean and energetic enough for the office, casual wear and light activity, but too simple and short-lived for formal or date-night wear.
