Louis Vuitton Meteore EDP
Description
Météore joined Louis Vuitton's Les Parfums men's line in September 2020, created by Master Perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud from noble citrus essences — Calabrian bergamot, mandarin, and Sicilian orange — built up with warm spice and a single, deliberate wood note. It's a citrus-aromatic in the classic Louis Vuitton mold, but the pink pepper, nutmeg, and cardamom heart give it more spine than a straightforward summer cologne, and the Java vetiver base keeps it grounded rather than fading into nothing.
Scent Character
- Citrus — 35%
- Spicy — 35%
- Woody — 20%
- Floral — 10%
Percentages are derived from note-family distribution across the verified fragrance pyramid below, not an independent lab measurement.
Translation: the citrus opening is classic Louis Vuitton, but Météore is really a spice-forward scent underneath — pink pepper, nutmeg, and cardamom carry it more than the bergamot and orange do.

Performance
Météore is a moderate performer: expect 4–6 hours of longevity and clean, close-to-moderate sillage. The vetiver base gives it slightly more grip than Louis Vuitton's purely citrus colognes, though it's still built for reapplication rather than heavy projection.
Best Occasions & Season
Versatile from spring through early fall — its spice and vetiver base let it carry into cooler evenings better than a pure citrus cologne would.

FAQ
Q: Is this sample full-strength?
A: Yes — it's poured from the same authentic Eau de Parfum as the retail bottle, not a diluted "inspired by" version.
Q: Is Météore more citrus or more spicy?
A: More spicy in wear — pink pepper, nutmeg, and cardamom dominate once the citrus opening settles.
Q: How does it compare to Imagination?
A: Both are Louis Vuitton citrus-aromatics from the men's line, but Météore leans spicier and drier with its vetiver base, while Imagination leans toward tea and wood.
Q: Is it unisex?
A: It's positioned in Louis Vuitton's men's line, though its citrus-spice profile wears well on anyone drawn to that family.
