Episode 113 of Love At First Scent saw us enter the world of the suitcase-hogging LV logo with a review of Louis Vuitton Meteore, the brand’s latest masculine, composed by in-house perfumer Jacques Cavallier. To watch the video, please click on this link: Louis Vuitton Meteore review.

As someone suggested in the ‘live chat’ during the broadcast, it’s hard not to see most of LV’s masculines as add-ons to the brand’s other products — goods to be tagged on to a bag purchase, rather than projecting a legitimate identity of their own. It’s a shame, because as far as I can tell, the Vuitton clothing line for men isn’t entirely conservative: it displays more than a touch of boldness as far as patterns and shapes are concerned. You would’ve thought that this would have permitted the brand to be equally liberal when it came to scent-creation. But no: almost all their perfumed output aimed at men plays things very safe indeed, and Meteore isn’t an exception. Citrus – spice – woods. They follow each other in predictable succession, without ever causing you to raise your eyes to the heavens, where the real celestial bodies shine with incandescent splendour.
