Météore vs Aventus

Community discussions center primarily on Scents of Mood selling allegedly watered-down or counterfeit Météore samples that lack longevity and smell predominantly of alcohol. Multiple users report similar experiences with this retailer's Louis Vuitton fragrances, with recommendations to purchase from established decant sites like DecantPlanet or ScentSplit instead.

Aventus is respected within the r/fragrance community as a high-performing, universally compliment-worthy fragrance with revolutionary fruity chypre characteristics. However, opinions are divided on whether its premium price and personal wearability justify the hype, with many experiencing rapid nose blindness despite strong projection, and batch inconsistency creating variable experiences across users.
