Shiyaaka Snow

I Never smelled Météore. It smells like a clean a slightly bitter unscented shampoo, moments after you've stepped out of the shower. Which I actually quite enjoy, I'm not saying it's addicting but I keep leaning over my arm smelling it. I can pickup a bit of citrus in the opening, after that really I can't tell which notes I'm smelling. It has a synthetic smell to it and it stays that way, but it's not exactly "rubber", though I get the "baby wipe" comments. But that synthetic smell really gives it a cool a frigid thing to it making it a bit masculine and making it live up to it's name: "Snow" so it's not a real drawback. The real drawback is it's weird powdery headache inducing "baby wipe "sweetness to it, which can be a bit too much if you overspray it. Because it projects pretty decently. It has a very linear dry down, first the citrus disappear then finally the sweet "baby powder" and it leaves you with this very clean and slightly bitter scent. I would say it has about 5-6 hours of projection, with like 8-10 hours of skin scent. I don't think It's blind buy safe, I would think that a lot of people would dislike it's "baby wipe" smell. On the street though I think a lot of people wouldn't even notice you are wearing a fragrance, and just think that you washed your hair an hour before. This is the first summer Fragrance that I would genuinely not wear in colder days. Like it needs some heat source to work. So hot weather + day to really make this fragrance make sense. Scent: (3.8-4/5) Clean. Performance (4/5) Actually decent. Longevity (4/5) 6-8 hours. I mean Fuck it It's alright for the money, again it isn't really blind buy safe.

So this is definitely not 1:1. I did a skin test of both to compare, and Snow is noticeably sweeter whereas meteore is more soapy. Other than that they are pretty close (about 85-90%). Tbh I actually prefer the slight sweetness that Snow has. I feel like that extra sweetness actually makes the DNA more mass appealing. It's a clean, fresh, and slightly soapy scent that makes a great daily with high versatility. This would also make a great gym scent. The one thing I don't really like is the bottle. It looks like a deodorant stick and a bit tacky/cheap. I am nitpicking here but I am a sucker for a nice bottle. Either way I can't deny the juice is fire and I can get past that. In terms of performance, meteore and Snow had similar longevity on my skin. With projection, meteore does have a bit more umph but not by much. They projected around the same mark as well. I need to keep testing it bc I've had varying results. The first time I tested Snow, it projected for a good 3-4 hours and stayed a skin scent for 6. Then, I've had wears where it barely projected for 2 hours and lasted for 4. It might have something to do with weather or my skin but, the time I tested it against meteore they both had similar subpar results. I remember meteore being a beast so it may have just been the weather (it was a bit cold that day). Overall, I actually do think this one is worth the hype. It's a pretty easy scent to like and for a fraction of the price of meteore, this is a great option if you don't mind a slight twist on the DNA.

Louis Vuitton is my favorite house. I have Creeds, Chanels, Diors.... I have quite a few perfumes and a good selection of different brands and styles. Meteoré is probably my favorite LV besides Imagination. I have 200ml of both. I paid $40 from a fellow fraghead in my city that I met through a fragrance group on FB. In my opinion, this is a good dupe of Meteoré. No, it is not a 1-1, and no, it does not smell 99% to Meteoré. But to my nose, this is a very good dupe and it smells really nice on its own. There is an obvious difference in quality, but damn does it smell good. Once it dries down, it is very close to the LV and if you spray one hand with LV and one hand with Snow, and ask 10 people to guess which one is the real thing, I think half would get it wrong. My brother who has a 100ml of Meteoré guessed wrong lol. So to cap off this review, I think it's a very good blind buy for $40 if you like Meteoré and LV in general. Makes a great gift for frag heads and non fragheads too.

Khadlaj Snow... I loved it from the first spray. I’ll be honest—the bottle is kind of off-putting. It feels like no real thought went into it, and a fragrance like this definitely deserves better presentation. But once you get past that, the scent itself is what matters. To me, it’s a really nice blend of floral, musky, earthy, and slightly sweet notes. I even pick up a bit of a rose vibe in there. It’s not overly sweet though—it leans more fresh and clean, which I really enjoy. I’ve seen a lot of negativity about a “bad smell” or off-putting opening, but I personally never got that from mine. One thing I will say—it definitely needs to macerate. At first, the longevity and projection were pretty weak, but after letting it sit for about a month, it improved a lot. Yeah, it’s a hyped fragrance, but for the price, it’s honestly a solid buy.

In the air, on a tester strip, I can get how people can compare it to baby wipes. Soon as it touches my skin though... Magic. The real magic is in the gym. Somehow, my sweat reacts to this fragrance in a way that removes the wipesy feel and makes it turn into some of the best fresh lemony kind of white flowery scent I've smelled on myself. Weirdly enough, I don't get nose fatigued by this, and smell it from myself throughout my entire workout constantly, plus granting me my first ever compliments in the gym. All that and with this price?... Witchcraft. It's only been about a week, on top of me being new to this fragrance hobby, maybe my taste will change in the future. But as of right now, I love this.

I am a sucker for a fresh laundry smell. I love citrusy and fresh fragrances so it's no surprise I like this. YES, it does smell heavily synthetic at the first spray, but then it settles into a cocoon of crisp, creamy comfort. I was looking for a fresh-smelling gym scent and this is literally perfect for that. I've only had it a few days so have yet to test longevity and sillage. I really do think it's unisex, despite what other reviewers say about it being more for women. Smelling clean is a universally loved smell! Also, I looked up the original of this - LV Meteore - and reviewers report that has a baby wipe smell too. I’d rather pay a fraction of the price for premium Pampers fragrance ;)

I don't quite know about everyone else, but I've been seeing so much hate online for this fragrance. I've heard it smells like baby wipes or rubber gloves, but I've lived with it for a couple weeks, (Decant first, my bottle is on its way) and whenever I put it on I just can't stop smelling it. Yes the scent is a bit linear, but damn it smells like fresh laundry in the best way possible. The kind you just keep holding up to your nose. I would put this on at night while testing some fragrances and I'd wake up still smelling it, although it did become a skin scent by then but that's to be expected for 8-10 hours. 9/10 overall

I never smelled meteore and this is one of my safest blind bought on my 2 month cologne journey , the citrus orange opening is very pleasant and the dry down is a masterpiece , it have fresh out of a shower feel and went straight to the very clean fresh bedsheets bed ... this is one my new favorite daily driver / gym scent ( together with bujairami hectic and rayhaan aquatica ) ... it lasts on 7 hours my skin have a good projection , I had compliments both work and gym this scent put a smile on my face and give me a positive vibe and just ordered 2 more bottles on TikTok shop and take advantage of the Black Friday sale

The difference between an initial paper spray out of the box and 2 weeks of maturation is immense. Let it sit if something doesn't smell right. It starts off with a cooling accord that mixes with bergamot and mandarin, indicating that it's tempting me to use it more this Summer. In the heart it turns into the luxury hotel neroli soap that just smells expensive and clean. Finally, as it dries down, and it turns into this powdery vetiver which lasts for a considerable amount of time. My last hand test I wore in an afternoon and woke up with it; this should make for powdery vetiver evening. It's a love for me.

This stuff is actually Solid I’ve bought a few fragrance from khadlaj and been heavily disappointed -Blu spice (LV imagination) dupe -island dream (LV symphony) dupe This however is actually worth it. It last a decent amount of time and smells like LV meteore. Citrusy fresh peppery clean luxury bar soap smell. The best way to put it is LV imagination = luxury gel soap LV meteore = Luxury bar soap If you’re a fan of imagination 100% check this out but I do find meteore a bit more mature fresh cause it’s take on 90s fresh clean clones but done with a modern twist. And that signature LV status symbol

January 1/29/2026 current review, this is good but lack of performance although this perfume is okay compare to meteor when comes to scent but the performance is still OG wins. (smell from me is subjective). 3 days straight using this and this is my final verdict projection: 5/10 - Need to overspray to perform sillage: 4/10 - again weak performance Scent: 8.7/10 - Great scent since im a clear/citrus lover presentation of bottle: 7.5/10 - no wow factor just clean bottle. i think need maturation? for better, that's all.

While looking for a daily driver within the “fresh laundry” category, I blind bought this fragrance based on reviews in here. If you are reading this, then know that you easily can blind buy this fragrance as well. The scent is a great and budget friendly alternative to the Louis Vuitton “Météore”, with great performance and strong projection. Only downside is the size of the bottle, if you want to bring this fragrance with you, whether it being to the gym or on holiday. But on the shelf, the bottle looks great!

I’m on my second bottle of this due to over spraying and nearly breaking the first one from dropping it once. I paid $40 the first time, then only $25 the second. This has become one of if not my fav summer frag due to dumb reachability, cleanliness, and compliment factor. I have owned snow since May and received around 10 compliments. I work in an office setting and this simply works too well, never smelt the og but I don’t mind the balloon smell in the late dry down either. 9.5/10 and a 10 for price

a very powdery, soapy fragrance. It evokes a clear fresh laundry vibe. On the dry down it smells like a combination of latex-air balloon-fresh clean laundry and baby wipes-but in a good pleasant fresh masculine way. It is obviously nothing groundbreaking but it’s a solid option if you’re looking for a clean, powdery, laundry-style fragrance! Smells like you and your outfit just came out of a washing machine- very refreshing and clean 8/10

What an amazing fragrance. This is one that really depends on your skin and how it mixes with your sweat. It smells so clean. Laundry musk, vibrant neroli, fresh citrus, and a woody, spicy base that leans masculine while still staying unisex. I honestly can’t believe people call this overhyped. It’s just very, very nice. Unless you’re extremely picky, I don’t see how you wouldn’t enjoy this. 8.75/10

Smells good to me. If I'm being perfectly honest, from my own nose. i do like it. its not the heaviest its light, airy, fresh, citrus notes. I don't get baby wipe vibes instead more of a baby powder-esc on the dry down. especially at first. now its started to mature its not as prominent and instead more fresh. i think a really good daily wear bc of the price. smells more expensive then £30 ($40).

Compared side by side with meteor it’s a good 90% similar with snow having less of an old lady scent to it, this has become an easy top 5 in my collection especially after maceration, it’s just such a fresh and clean almost bar soap kinda smell that’s so easy to wear and quite addicting to smell, it did have to grow on me a little bit but now it’s my most worn out of everything

Reminds of crisp air or just a plain old bar of soap. Lasts around 5 to 7 hours so not to bad. The projection ,I will be honest, I have no clue. I was told it was faintly noticeable from arms length away. And I was told by that same person it was too strong from a longer length (mind you I've worn stronger fragrances before) so it really just depends. 9.6/10

I really like the baby wipe smell it has to it, if thats not your thing, skip it, but the dry down is less of that and more of like a freshly cleaned sheets type of smell, performance is meh 5-6 hours, projecting for around 2-3 ill update this review after a month of macerating to see if theres a big difference. but so far 8.2/10.

Wow, this one clearly got hit by the anti-clone mob. Crazy low rating. Is it exactly Meteore? No. Is it 90% close? Hell yes, and don't trust anyone that tells you otherwise. The open is different but a few minutes in and it is pretty much Meteore. I will say it doesn't project as much as the OG so overspray and you're golden.

woahhhh okay this is good! after 2 weeks of hibernation in a dark spot, this scent really came together. regardless of meteor, i love this fragrance. Clean white t shirt, picture prada lhomme but remove the iris and add some soft spice and musk with a bright orange lingering in the background. yum. i’ll take 2 please

Incredibly close to the original. But after hour 2, that "cool" scent is gone. I can't figure out what it is in the original one. However, up close, nose pressed on skin, this is something else. It's clean and intimate. It's like a softer Meteore. I'll probably just buy this instead of buying a new bottle of Meteore.

This is an absolute banger, my go to scent. It’s so fresh and clean. It is 90% similar to Meteore. I tested them side by side and there wasn’t much of a difference. The one downside is the projection and longevity isn’t great, but I carry around a decant of it in my work car. 10/10 from me, my favorite fragrance/DNA.

I never rate a middle eastern fragrance until Iit’s sat a couple months.at first spray it was just meh and kinda rough in the opening .two months later the fragrance has really come together ,its well blended for a cheapie.longevity and projection have improved a lot after settling.great pick up

After 1 month of maseration the baby wipe smell has died down. I get bergamot, mandarin, neroli, cardamom, something slighty watery and something slighty powdery. Fresh and Clean kind of green with a very slight sweetness. This last 7-8 hours with 3 hours of projection. 9.1/10.

When people said it smelled like baby wipes i didnt think it would be 90% baby wipes. This is baby wipes with citrus. If u don't mind smelling like baby wipes this is a safe blind buy. It definitely smells clean. Last 7-8 hours with moderate projection for 1-2. 7.9/10

My first khadlaj and i have to admit this is fantastic.Very close to the original and nice quality.I previously tried karius blu spice but hated it but this is amazing.Like 85-90% close to Meteore,makes me not want to buy the real deal.

A very sweet and fresh smell. I've never smelled meteore, but this Reminds me slightly of Silver mountain water, only a little as if SMW was more sweet. This is a very refreshing frag that I think is very good for the price

Closeness to LV Meteore ? 90% Originally about 6 hours longevity, but significantly improved over time. If you like the original this is a great pick up. There seems to be a herd of people using ratings to protest clones.

Smells super clean, longevity and projection are fantastic. Really enjoy the florals I get. People say get chrome. Which you can, I wore it for years when I was younger. Longevity was its only problem, this solves that.

I don't get any latex or babywipes smell that some mention. On my skin it gives off a sharp lemony scent in the beginning and then settles to an indistinct freshy/mentholy/snowy smell which i really like.

Well, I finally have it. My gf says it smells exactly like Meteore but very weak and very soft. I'm thinking of macerating it for a month but I like that she digs her nose into my neck just to smell it

huuuge blast of alchohol initial sprays but after its actually quite nice, abt 5 hrs on skin and 10 hrs on clothing for me personally, great no brainer daily wear, blind bought and no regrets

This is a very unique scent profile to me. Very fresh, but not like straight citrusy fresh. Citrusy with strong Neroli and some nutmeg undertone. I love the dry down of this most.

this parfume between montobacco intensivo and lv meteore . good for price. quality mid . not like niche. if u like montobacco intensivo and want more fresh u can take this

For me, this is super close to meteore. That's after testing them side by side. I could never justify the cost of meteore after this. Very safe and difficult not to like.

Ótima fragrância superou minhas expectativas curti muito essa pegada cítrico com a secagem moderna e quente. Projetou e ficou muito bem na minha pele aprovado

opening is kinda harsh due to the pink pepper, but the smell stay linear.. performance is not bad 5-6 hours fresh clean stay blind buy then can rock causally

A really nice easy wear, inoffensive, cheap so can used liberally in all occasions. Big compliment getter and smells like LV meteore what’s not to love

The lv metore is one of my favorites of all time!! I use this almost daily will need a back up bottle soon lol going to empty out this bottle..

Clean and easy to wear scent. Not 100% but similar enough to meteore at this price. Gym, summer, work and travel perfume. 9/10.

I love it. Easy daily wear scent for men during warmer days. Fresh and spicy scent. Citrus dominant.

Not to bad scence. Try here cheap sample ,only for UK https://www.facebook.com/share/p/17Ktodtd9G/

Never smelled meteore, so I’m judging separately. I like this a lot. It’s great summer fragrance

i like this better than Arabiyat Marwa. Then i asked my wife and she also chose this over marwa

So clean, so clean. I feel like fresh laundry when I spray this. it's atomizer makes me happy.

This is the cleanest perfume I have ever smelled. Wow! Quality to price ratio: THE BEST

i love it!! That cardamom is a different level of the usual cardamom

Very clean like fresh laundry. Summer grab and go no brainer

I’m not a big fan of dupes/clones. But this one is worth it
