Météore

Météore opens with a bright, ethereal burst of mandarin and bergamot, laced with subtle pink and Sichuan pepper, giving it a crisp, slightly medicinal quality reminiscent of high-end citrus colognes. The heart features a subtle, green-spicy resonance from cardamom and neroli, creating a clean, almost soapy elegance. The base settles into a smooth, musky vetiver with a faint, soft amber warmth that clings to skin and fabric for days. While the performance is excellent—lasting up to 12 hours and projecting strongly in air-conditioned settings—some find the drydown fades subtly, lacking depth or surprise. It shares DNA with classic blends like Chrome and CK One but executes it with greater refinement and quality, making it a polished, mass-appealing scent with a luxurious feel rather than a revolutionary one. It’s ideal for warm weather, particularly summer daytime wear, and delivers constant compliments without drama. The smell leans unisex but slightly masculine, suitable for casual or formal settings with a refined, clean aesthetic. Though widely considered overpriced, its consistency and longevity justify investment for those seeking a clean, prestigious, precisely blended fragrance.
