Louis Vuitton Météore: What You Need to Know

Some fragrances become dominant because they deserve to be. Météore by Louis Vuitton is that kind of fragrance — an EDP whose Citrus, Fresh Spicy, Aromatic, Woody character, engineered by Jacques Cavallier and launched in 2020, has earned its standing through consistent performance rather than marketing alone. This review provides the data to evaluate it properly: scores, climate results and pricing, not adjectives.

Météore Notes Breakdown

Météore opens with Mandarin Orange, Sicilian Orange and Calabrian Bergamot — an assertive first impression that carries across a room. Once that burns off, usually inside the first half hour, the heart turns to Pink Pepper, Pepper, Tunisian Neroli, Guatemalan Cardamom and Indonesian Nutmeg. Hours in, what remains is the foundation: Java Vetiver.

Strip it back to the bones and the profile reads Citrus, Fresh Spicy, Aromatic, Woody — easy to place and easy to wear.
