About This Fragrance
Afternoon Swim is a 2019 Louis Vuitton eau de parfum from the Cologne Perfumes inspired by California. It translates the instant of diving into the sea on a hot day through the contrast between juicy orange and blue water. Artist Alex Israel created the bottle colors and packaging.
Scent Profile
The official key notes are bergamot, mandarin, orange, ginger, and ambergris. Sweet orange pulp is tightened by bergamot peel and dried by a sparkling ginger line. The base is not a heavy sweet amber; it feels closer to salt on warm skin, wet stones, and transparent mineral air.
Who It's For
It suits people looking for realistic orange and immediate summer energy. Beaches, pools, holiday lunches, drives, white T-shirts, and linen shirts are natural settings. Because performance varies and the price is high, the quieter skin-level drydown should be tested before purchase.
