Summer, Palms, Sunshine...

I could approach this completely unreservedly because the scent was new and I managed to get samples before it could be more or less panned.

The first sprays absolutely blew me away! The opening starts with a fruity fresh mint and I just thought "WOW...AWESOME!".

After a few minutes, the mint fades away and a sweet peach/apricot with a hint of mandarin crystallizes and actually remains like this until it fades away.

Basically, it reminds me a bit of a peach body lotion or something similar, and indeed simply of SUMMER.

Personally, I don’t smell much, or anything at all, of the mentioned additives like "basil" etc. - which isn’t a problem.

But, as is unfortunately always the case with LV's summer scents (except for Imagination), the longevity leaves much to be desired for the price, and after a maximum of 3-4 hours, you can only smell it up close.

My conclusion: 260.- is definitely too much for such a short-lived "apricot scent" that, in my opinion, does not come close to the class of, for example, Imagination, and I also believe that LV has simply relied on the name here, which is enough as a selling point for many.

After about 3-4 hours, I can only smell it up close.
Sure, if that also falls under the term longevity (technically, it does), I would give the scent a 5-6.
Anyway, Afternoon Swim (which is more in this direction) lasts significantly longer for me.
So we're talking about a fragrance in the price range of 260 euros 😉

I’d give it more like a 7. Sure, it doesn’t project as strongly after 3-4 hours, but it lasts on my skin for 48 hours + a shower. And it’s still strong enough that you can identify the scent note with this fragrance ;)
