I’ll start with a provocative statement:
"Show me a fragrance that captures the essence of summer as well as LV Afternoon Swim?"
Because I am now convinced that no other scent does this as well. What do you want in summer, in the sultry heat? Surely, I don’t want a toilet bowl lemon around me, but rather a fresh cool cocktail with citrus and zest. That’s exactly what this fragrance delivers with its wonderful orange and top-notch freshness. It never gets boring, unlike some well-known designers, and it doesn’t smell artificial in the slightest. With a light sweetness, it also makes its presence known on summer evenings and can truly score points despite the Cologne label with good and pleasant longevity plus sillage.
In the end, people of all genders want just one thing in the summer months: to relax and let their souls dangle. Afternoon Swim is exactly that: a genuine feel-good fragrance.
Those looking for particularly complex notes won’t find them here, but I also don’t believe that the average fragrance enthusiast is searching for a grand adventure in summer, rather than a beach vacation. Therefore, it must be noted: Nothing beats Afternoon Swim in the summer!
