N othing thrills us more than a new men's fragrance — and Météore, the latest scent from Louis Vuitton, is a worldly addition. Created by master perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud at his atelier in Grasse, the scent promises to "arouse fascination all along its path" and transform space into time to reveal new horizons. Heady stuff. The sixth scent in the Parfums Louis Vuitton collection, it's a mix of Calabrian bergamot, mandarin, Sicilian orange, and neroli with a trio of peppers, cardamom, nutmeg, and an earthy finishing note of Java vetiver. This is exactly what I — a lover of both fine fragrances and the study of the cosmos — have been missing in my life. $265, refill $165, at select Louise Vuitton boutiques, louisvuitton.com.

Taking its cues from the earliest days of the house and crafted from extra-fine white Limoge porcelain, Cannage Provence is an interpretation of house founder Christian Dior's fashion shows — from a time when the designer would seat guests on elegant Napoleon III-style chairs decorated in canework.
