What wearers say

“I absolutely love this scent, it's a summer must have. It's so bright, uplifting and refreshing in summer 🌊🍊 But the longevity so terrible I had to go for s dupe. So yep, the original bottle is nicely displayed on the shelf, buy I use the inspired version on the daily basis. Out of dupes I tried for Afternoon Swim, the version from Viral Pafums - Swim is the winner. Nice bottle, decent longevity because it is an extrait 👌And identical scent.”

“To me, that's the best LV summer fragrance, a 10/10. This is basically a strong mandarin and orange scent, pretty linear. It smells like a summer vacation at the beach or a nice coastal resort, so it's not signature-worthy. I wore this in 40º Celsius heat and it held up perfectly. Great longevity (~7hs) and projection (~2hs) on my skin. It's overpriced, but I would buy a full bottle if money wasn't that tight.”
A member of a leading fragrance community
“I love this fragrance. I bought a decant 3 weeks ago. Finished it up and bought a bottle. I got 2 compliments at the grocery store and then my friend wore it to try out and got compliments at Starbucks. Great summer citrus scent. The price is high but the scent makes me happy so it was worth it. Longevity on my sample was long but the new bottle needs to age for a couple of months.”
