One painfully obvious dissapointing aspect from an otherwise good fragrance.
Quatre is the name, but also the hour where it stops sitting on your skin. Even worse, it usually doesnt even make that most of the time. Luckily its not all bad, but to say i am not dissapointed at least a little, would also not be true.

The bottle and box are steller. The atomizer is also great. This is also one of those bottles where the look of it is exactly what you get from the scent as well. Honestly, there are two words needed to describe this scent: orange and sweet, thats it. Escpecially in the opening it is almost unbearably sweet, with a pleasent ginger note being slightly inserted in the drydown period. Not a bad DNA at all. I cannot compare it to the thing it is copying, Which is LV''s Afternoon Swim unfortunately, since i am not rich.

Where it really drops the ball is the longevity. On my skin it is absolutely terrible, like not even 3 hours usually, which is a shame, cause it does make a great everyday high heat summer scent. Accords like orange are great for everyday use in these weathers because of how universally liked the smell of oranges are, but with longevity like this, it is really only meant as a part-day scent.

Not a total dissapointment, but it is in the one aspect that would make this a much better scent if better, which is the longevity. From a score of 0-100, i would give it a 73.

Really good ......... but not Afternoon Swim and that's really ok
So........... this is my first ever review on Parfumo. I've read a lot of opinions about things I own and things I've smelt and wanted to add a few points for people that may not be familiar with many of the fragrances that they read about in this forum.

I own both Afternoon Swim and IV Quatre and they can definitely be used in all of the same situations but they aren't a 1 to 1 match. IV Quatre has a very strong and sweet orange opening which is pretty artificial but isn't bad in any way. I think we have to be realistic with what we can expect from something that is 10-15% of the price of the fragrance it's emulating. Although it's a synthetic smell, it has a juicy undertone and is very pleasant and not cloying. The scent is linear so what you smell from the opening doesn't really change much through both the middle and well after the drydown but the scent is sweet in the air and has a nice sillage until it become a skin scent - which for me is 6-7+ hours. It performs really well for a fresh fragrance and is definitely blind buy worthy. It doesn't have some of the depth of Afternoon Swim (which may sound odd to say a freshy has "depth" but it does a little) as I don't really get any of the ginger or slight marine notes but I'd recommend buying IV Quatre. I just wanted to add my opinion as I don't think it's fair to over or underplay this fragrance.

So yes, it's good, it's actually really good.............. but on your skin you're not going to confuse it for Afternoon Swim of you've smelt them both side by side. Don't let that limit you though. Just buy it. It's under £30 in the UK. Afternoon Swim is £250+.................................... you do the math!!!

Take two plus Fanta
The IV Quatre starts off very sweet and fruity. I clearly perceive orange, lemon and, later on, spicier ginger notes. The whole thing is rather synthetic, as if you were smearing yourself with two drops dissolved in Fanta. There is also a note in the fragrance, I suspect ambroxan or musk, which gives the whole thing a long-lasting base. Quatre also lasts 4-5 hours on the skin and easily 8-10 hours on clothing.

Anyone expecting a natural, fresh and citrusy experience will be disappointed. The IV Quatre is just like Nimm Zwei, rather artificial but just as delicious. It radiates quite well and is rather linear in its fragrance progression. I don't think it has much to do with Afternoon Swim. But I haven't smelled the original yet either. It just seems too artificial for my liking. Fanta is not Orangina either. Nevertheless, both flavors have their right to exist. It's the same with Quatre. The fragrance looks just like the bottle. The bottle is heavy, shrill and also a little kitschy. As is so often the case with Arabic fragrance houses. On the whole, however, it serves its purpose.

This fragrance is clearly something for the summer and the younger crowd. Absolutely unisex and wearable all day. But I wouldn't wear it when going out. It's just too playful and colorful for that.
