The best summer perfume. A masterpiece

I've tried hundreds
None are as good as this
Aqua de Dora is the closest, at 9.5/10

Forever Love is noticeably better than every single summer perfume I have tried
It's also got by far the best longevity and sillage of any summer perfume (aside from Megamare which doesn't really count because it's unwearable in a lot more situations)

Everything else smells cheap, tacky and boring by comparison.

Pana Dora is my favourite niche, and it probably still would be if this was their only perfume.

Piacevole d'estate

Pana dora mi piace molto come brand... Be qui c'è un innegabile somiglianza con profumi di Louis vuitton seppur migliorato in prestazioni. Perfetto per l' estate apre agrumato fresco e resta così per tutta l'evoluzione... D' estate è un must have sicuramente.
Bella anche la boccia... Adoro pana dora come brand ottima qualità.

I did it, I found it!

It was an exploratory journey that was ultimately very worthwhile.
Dozens of fresh summer scents arrived in the form of samples at my house, I almost felt sorry for the postman.
From the moment I first experienced LV afternoon swim last year, I was on the hunt for a perfume that would do justice to that incredibly good note while still having good longevity. Let’s be honest, all fresh citrus scents fade quickly, it’s in their nature. Sure, the heart and base notes might last all day, but that’s not what makes the fragrances special.

On my discovery journey, I sniffed out many great summer scents and slowly came to terms with the fact that I would never find a "better LV AS." I was just about to order Pomelo Sorrento by Gritti (also a great scent), but then I discovered the house of Pana Dora and I am so happy that it happened.

Forever Love is very close to afternoon swim in the top note, to be honest, it still doesn’t manage to offer that incredible zest and freshness that I only know from LV, but it provides more depth and an interesting opening. The citrus notes seem to last twice as long (about 2 hours), but what fundamentally distinguishes the two are the heart and base notes.
One thing I liked less about afternoon swim was the drydown, which for my taste had a somewhat unpleasant synthetic quality, and that’s where Forever Love excels. Even though it is still slightly citrusy, the heart note is a different caliber, a wonderfully warm floral scent that stands on its own and brings joy for hours.

In short, I have finally found my perfect scent for hot summer days, now I just have to wait a long time until I can enjoy it in appropriate weather.

For anyone who loves afternoon swim like I do but expects more for their money, Forever Love is a must-try!

Direction Afternoon Swim, convinces me more

Just in time for the start of summer, this fantastic summer scent has arrived for me. I've had my eye on this fragrance for a while, but at the full price of €245, it was too expensive for me. In shops that often have discounts, this one was usually sold out. Now I struck at a slight discount, which is still a hefty price. But high-quality summer fragrances should be worth it, especially when it comes to scents for the intense (and humid) heat.
This is my first Pana Dora that I have purchased and tested. I have found a few exciting fragrances in their small range that I will definitely test as well. I will still see if this hype in the community is justified. They definitely seem to be well-received in general. With Sweden, this brand has an exotic country for perfume. Behind this brand is the Syrian immigrant and perfumer Ibrahim Al-Zorbi. He seems to have talent, judging by the reviews, especially for the releases from 2023-2024. It’s worth checking out, especially if you are looking for mass-appeal niche fragrances and like to go with the hype.

I came across this scent because I was looking for an alternative to "Afternoon Swim | Louis Vuitton." For me, it has one of the best top notes when it comes to the intense heat and that carefree midsummer feeling. Disadvantage: It absolutely does not last, costs €280, and is only available at LV without any discounts/offers. If you can find it used at a significantly lower price, that would be an alternative. However, I decided on this Forever Love.
The name Forever Love is, of course, beautifully chosen. The fragrance comes in a lovely round orange box. The highlight is, of course, the bottle with the moose head. It should not be confused with the Penhaligon's Portrait series, which has a similar cap. A bottle from this brand visually enhances the collection. Extremely elegantly crafted, especially the cap. The sprayer is also top-notch and dispenses the perfect amount and is buttery smooth. For that, a clear 10/10.
In terms of scent, you definitely get a great alternative to Afternoon Swim, especially in the top note. Full-on good mood through citrusy, juicy, and summery notes. Afternoon Swim might have a bit more of that swimming pool vibe, but this Forever Love does not need to hide. It is thoroughly likable and will not find many enemies. Lemon, orange, mandarin, and bitter grapefruit. You get this in the opening. Citrusy-fruity-juicy and just straight-up good mood. In the heart note, several fruits come through, which is rather rare in the heart note. After 1 hour, it becomes very juicy and soft. Mango and melon, along with a bit of spicy, delicate ginger and some gentle geranium. Delicate flowers also come through, which submit to the citrusy and fruity DNA. In the third part of the fragrance and also during the dry down, woods and sweetness emerge; the fresh notes last about 4-5 hours, which is absolutely great for such freshies.
The longevity is significantly better than the LV. I think the fragrance should last about 8 hours or longer, with the first 2-3 hours performing really well with this fantastic freshness. Overall, this fragrance is worth it when it comes to a good midsummer scent.

Overall, a fantastic citrusy-fruity-juicy fragrance with a woody base. A great alternative for the upcoming summer. Not an Afternoon Swim clone, but a great alternative to it.

Absolute top perfume from Pana Dora!

What can I say?
If this isn't a summer scent, then I don't know what is..

Actually, I prefer perfumes that lean more towards the woody/spicy/leathery direction (e.g. Tom Ford / Sauvage, etc.).
Basically, perfumes for the colder seasons.

So, as it goes, my wife and I set out to find a fresher, fruitier summer scent.
In a niche perfumery, we expressed our preferences and sought advice.
After some time, we both stumbled upon this perfume.

At first, you encounter the sweet note of the perfume, particularly the orange/lavender component is noticeable. After testing it on my skin and a few minutes later, the citrus note emerges and brings a refreshing feeling with it.

Absolute recommendation for spring and summer! This perfume is neither too citrusy (Malibu - Party in the Bay), nor too sweet (Pana Dora - Aqua de Dora) - the oriental note from the manufacturer is still faintly detectable without overwhelming anyone.
Honestly, my wife loves it and I am also thrilled by it (strangely, it's the first time we both like a perfume so much).

From my perspective, three sprays (left and right side of the neck and at the back) are enough, and the scent lasts 7-8 hours. The sillage is fantastic; you can still smell it from a distance of 4-5 meters without it coming off as intrusive.

Overall:

Scent note: fruity, soft, citrusy, slightly oriental mixture.
Longevity: 3 sprays -> 7-8 hours

For me, it's a scent that can be worn at any time of day during the summer in warm temperatures; a slightly seductive note cannot be denied.

Absolute purchase recommendation from the niche house of Pana Dora!
