Louis Vuitton's peppery citrus — mandarin, bergamot and orange lit up with pink pepper, nutmeg and cardamom, then dried out with Java vetiver. Bright and spicy rather than sweet, and it wears close.
The published pyramids line up almost note for note — same mandarin-and-bergamot opening, same neroli, nutmeg and pink pepper middle, same cardamom-over-vetiver finish. Khadlaj doesn't market it as a Météore clone, so this is a note match rather than a stated one; expect the original to be the smoother, better-blended version.

Citrus over warm spice lifts in heat instead of collapsing, which keeps it on the warm-weather side of the year. An everyday and office scent, close enough to the skin that it never takes over a room.
