The FragDNA review · on paper

A Citrus‑Spiced Dupe with a Leaner Palette

FragDNA · compiled from a comparison on paper — the listed notes and prices; nobody has reviewed it yet · 22 October 2026

—not yet worn
Opening
The top notes of mandarin orange, bergamot and neroli suggest a bright, citrus‑forward opening.
Dry-down
Without the original’s vetiver and pepper, the drydown is likely to remain lighter and less earthy.
Best for
citrus‑spice enthusiasts

Khadlaj Shiyaaka Snow shares mandarin orange and pink pepper with Louis Vuitton Météore, but it replaces the original’s Sicilian orange, Calabrian bergamot, Tunisian neroli, Indonesian nutmeg, pepper, Guatemalan cardamom and Java vetiver with its own bergamot, neroli, nutmeg and cardamom. The listed composition therefore leans toward a tighter citrus‑spice blend, omitting several of the original’s more complex facets.

Classified as an extrait, the dupe offers a higher concentration than typical eau de parfum formats, which may affect its intensity and persistence. While no price per 100 ml is supplied, the concentration level and the reduced note list suggest a potentially more focused, albeit less layered, experience compared with the original’s broader aromatic profile.

The verdictOn paper, the dupe presents a streamlined citrus‑spice arrangement with fewer side notes, offering an extrait concentration that may appeal to those seeking a brighter, less earthy take on the original.

FragDNA score · on paper

On paper

On paper, Shiyaaka Snow is one of the strongest bets if you want Météore for less.

Khadlaj lists 7 of the 9 notes in Météore's pyramid — mandarin orange, calabrian bergamot, tunisian neroli, indonesian nutmeg and pink pepper and more. What it does not list: sicilian orange and java vetiver.

Strength: extrait, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.

At $34 per 100ml it costs 90% less than Météore — the 4th cheapest of 12 twins we can price.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Khadlaj publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

The original opens on mandarin orange, sicilian orange and Calabrian Bergamot, turns to tunisian neroli, indonesian nutmeg and pink pepper, and settles into java vetiver. That is the brief Shiyaaka Snow is working from.
