Meander est apprécié par ceux qui se connectent à son profil de vétiver crémeux et terreux ainsi qu'à sa sophistication subtile, gagnant des éloges en tant que favori personnel malgré une réception mitigée de la communauté. Cependant, il est largement noté pour sa longévité et ses performances décevantes, et certains estiment qu'il ne correspond pas à la qualité de la collection classique d'Amouage, ce qui en fait une sortie « mineure » de la maison. Le parfum plaît surtout aux individualistes qui privilégient la satisfaction personnelle plutôt que la reconnaissance généralisée ou le sillage.
