Meteore

Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper grower, divisive as hell at first sniff but winning over hearts with its sharp citrus kick and smoky leather dry down. Some rate it a masterpiece, others a rip-off, but it undeniably oozes a sophisticated charm.
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.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its blend of classic and modern accords makes it versatile, suitable for formal and office settings where a subtle projection is appreciated. While it possesses fresh elements, the underlying sophisticated leather and woody notes ensure it's not a casual throw-on, nor ideal for active sport.
Seasons
Triple-citrus and vetiver compositions belong in warm weather - summer and spring the strongest; cooler months still work because the vetiver provides earthy weight.
Occasions
Daytime-versatile - office, casual, summer-formal all natural; one of the genuinely sport-tolerant entries thanks to the citrus-vetiver freshness.
