Our take
What does Afternoon Swim smell like?
Afternoon Swim, launched by Louis Vuitton in 2019 and composed by Jacques Cavallier Belletrud, belongs to the house’s Cologne collection. It is a lively, sunny citrus conceived as a swim in bright light. Juicy mandarin and blood orange open in a dazzling freshness. The heart brings soft orange blossom and a green, slightly bitter petitgrain. Musk and amber in the base leave a clean, radiant, lightly warm trail. A summer scent, simple in intention but refined in execution. Longevity is that of a citrus, but the opening is dazzling, like biting into a peeled mandarin in full sunlight, and the petitgrain adds a pleasant bitter twist.
When to wear it
Perfect for summer, holidays and sunny days; it suits lovers of bright citrus.
It belongs to the Citrus family. Afternoon Swim is one of 2 creations by Louis Vuitton in our encyclopedia.
