A fleeting acquaintance

I bought Afternoon Swim a good 3 years ago and didn't realize that it was already relatively hyped. Somehow I missed that with all the hype LV fragrances back then.
I liked it right from the start and think it's unique, despite its mass appeal. Cooler and fresher than Mandarino di Amalfi, for example, which would otherwise have occupied roughly the same position in my collection. Freshness without dominant aquatics, no sport vibes, but tart, slightly bitter citrus notes. You can't go wrong with this fragrance and you can confidently stop pondering in front of the perfume shelf. If it weren't for the very big elephant in the room: the longevity... I have never had a fragrance that fades as quickly as this one. Even on my clothes, which I now always spray on out of necessity. In my opinion, this is the killer of every fragrance and I now only use it on the way to the bath when I jump into the water anyway. So for me, the price-performance ratio is no longer given and I would tend to advise anyone against spending such a hefty sum on this. Unfortunately...
