I just got my full bottle in today from LV and man have I been waiting on this. I had a 10ml decant as well as a free sample I flew through so already knew this was the one for me. This is a super versatile fresh semi aquatic blue fragrance that has lasting power and projects fairly well. I am also a HUGE fan of Azzaro Chrome and these two are very similar but are also different in many ways. I like to think that Chrome is the college student while Meteore is Chrome with a PHD and 20 years of real work experience and a family. It’s still the similar fun guy he always has been but now has done some things in life and way more mature and refined. It’s super clean, slightly peppery but more of a staticky clean vibe. It sort of reminds me of wearing fresh laundry while standing on my veranda watching a lightning storm at night. I know it’s not for everyone but what is? Meteore is definitely my style fragrance. I plan on wearing both Chrome and Meteore regularly as they sort of complement one another and I’ll wear Chrome for working out and days home and probably use meteor for work and going out during the day. I opened the box with my 9 year old daughter so she could experience a Louis Vuitton unboxing and she got the first spray and she said this one will always make me think of you from now on and also that she wants it when I die. Always thinking ahead these kids.

Hear ye, hear ye. After a full turn of the calendar moon, the wandering reviewer hath returned. Sound the horns, gather the townsfolk, and prepare the parchment, for a fresh decree of opinions is upon us. Opens with a blend of clean, soapy, minty citruses. Different websites list different notes, but I mainly get lemon, bergamot, and spearmint. The soapiness comes from “hivernal”, which is described as ‘having a fresh, clean signature reminiscent of sun-dried laundry’. The mid notes also vary across sites, but to my nose it is a mix of herbal pine, geranium, and lavender. The dry down is a combination of vetiver, patchouli, sandalwood, musks, and ambroxan. I do not know why there are so many different note listings across websites, but it is what it is. I understand the comparison to Sprite, but to me it smells more like if Sprite made a soap. It is also very slightly reminiscent of the Y DNA. Performance is okay. It projects well for about two hours at roughly 1.5 feet, then slowly settles into a skin scent. After around 8.5 hours it still lingers faintly on skin. I wore it indoors, but it is supposedly a better performer in high heat, so that is where I will test it next. Initially, I did not like it very much. It felt like a fancy hotel soap. Slowly, though, it grew on me. This smells like you are not trying to smell good. It feels like an exquisite, fresh-out-of-the-shower scent. Supposedly the newer batches are not very strong, which would explain the performance. Overall, not a bad fragrance. However, I do not think it is worth the money, especially at this price-to-performance ratio. There are many good clean, soapy fragrances available nowadays at a better price. Would I recommend people try it? Yes. People should know there are levels even to simple clean, fresh fragrances. Would I buy it? I am not sure yet. Maybe it will get better with more wears, maybe not. After my first try, I would give it a solid 7.8/10. The score could rise, but for now it did not blow me away, and the performance did not impress me either. The above-average score is for the quality and ingredients. Next time, I will test it in the high heat that people recommend.
