Love at 2nd sight

Initially, I was very skeptical about Afternoon Swim and had no expectations whatsoever, so I took a pessimistic approach to testing it: Boring fragrance notes, cucumber salad, no scent progression at all and durability underground. I thought to myself, why is this fragrance in third place among the Louis Vuitton fragrances if it performs so poorly in every aspect.

But time passes

And when I took the sample out again and again, I completely changed my mind about the fragrance. At first, of course, I was still very critical and didn't want to admit to myself what the fragrance was actually like, but then I changed my mind

I now perceive Afternoon Swim much more as a super fresh summer fragrance, which starts very nicely with its really light, bitter bergamot opening, after which it becomes more citrusy and softer. The freshness, however, does not fade and is present the whole time. However, it has to be said that this time is really not long, and even if the fragrance smells great, the longevity is and remains rather poor.
To summarize, I would therefore suggest that everyone should find for themselves a balance between fragrance, projection and price, and if you are willing to spend the almost 300 euros for the fragrance, always keep in mind the poor durability, which, in my opinion, is not so disturbing for such a fresh fragrance.
