Météore opens with a bright, zesty rush of Calabrian bergamot and Sicilian citrus that feels clean and polished—almost like a freshly laundered linen shirt. It's immediately approachable and uplifting...
Performance is consistently solid across the board, with longevity and projection that carry the fragrance through a full day without excessive sweetness or fatigue—a reliable performer that doesn't demand reapplication for most wearers.
The fragrance divides enthusiasts and casual users: seasoned fragrance collectors often find it generic or derivative of better-known fresh citrus fragrances like CK One and Abercrombie & Fitch Fierce Cologne, while general consumers praise its clean, compliment-friendly appeal and refined feel.
Spring and summer are the clear seasonal sweet spots, though it performs well into fall; winter wear is less common due to the lightweight, non-warming character that doesn't provide the depth or richness cold weather typically demands.
Louis Vuitton's fragrance line is recognized for hitting a specific target—good smell and solid performance without breaking into niche territory—and Météore fits that profile, though some find the luxury price point difficult to justify for a composition that feels more mass-market in character.
A synthetic, aquatic-soapy character is prominent, which reads as either clean sophistication or uninspired depending on perspective; this polarization is the main driver of mixed enthusiasm in collector communities.
