Pleasant but not super special
I enjoy this and finished the sample but I would not buy again. It was not that interesting or memorable.
Louis Vuitton Afternoon Swim was released in 2019, created by Jacques Cavallier, as part of the Les Parfums Louis Vuitton collection. This is more of a cologne in an EDP concentration. Cavallier said of Afternoon Swim , "I wanted a shot of vitamin C in the fragrance, something full of energy." From the brand - "A plunge into an ocean of sensations. Feeling all the energy of the waves washing over the skin on a hot summer’s day. Master Perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud pays homage to the citruses he particularly loves." Notes of Sicilian orange, mandarin, ginger, ambergris and bergamot.
Louis Vuitton is a French luxury fashion company - famous for their gorgeous and distinctive bags and the LV monogram. Founded in 1854, it was folded into LMVH, which has the brands of Moet et Chandon, Hennessy and Louis Vuitton.
Basenotes - "Afternoon Swim is a truly outstanding summer aquatic fresh citrus fragrance. The opening of the fragrance is a beautiful combination of orange and bergamot citrus, as if you grabbed best of AdP Arancia di Capri and Le Labo's Bergamote 22 to combine their oranges and lemons to open the first sniff inside Afternoon Swim. But that's just for starters. What moves Afternoon Swim to the next level is the masterful use of very subtle aquatic notes that smoothes out the sprightly citrus into a blue sublime aquatic that has a timeless, endless summer, open air quality. "
Basenotes - "Sweet n sour citrusy grapefruit and mandarine, salty and a little musky. First thought was Creed's Millesime Imperial but not in a clone way. More like LV's take on a sparkling, salty, hot day fragrance. Funny that it is a blue color juice since it reminds me more of the sandy beach than the water."
Fragrantica - "Not gonna lie I was skeptical about LV Colognes but THIS BLEW ME OUT OF THE POOL! So luxurious!!! Absolute summer , totally unisex, very luxurious and I love love love it! Was my first LV & my 2nd was California Dream and THAT is a VERY CLOSE 2nd as well. It reminds me of sundowners at Ocean Beach in San Diego."
