Afternoon Swim by Louis Vuitton is a bright citrus built around three kinds of orange. Mandarin orange, Sicilian orange and bergamot open it sharp and juicy, before a clean, aquatic accord moves in and cools the whole thing down. Ambergris and ginger sit underneath, giving it a warm, faintly salty base rather than a plain citrus fade-out. Launched in 2019, it crosses easily between men and women, and it suits a summer day off just as well as a shift at work. Voters keep it for summer, worn by day. Most wearers vote its longevity moderate, and most also call the sillage moderate, so a couple of sprays carry you through the afternoon. A 3ml decant is enough to try it across a working week before you commit.

The community verdict
Bright and citrusy, Afternoon Swim brings mandarin orange, Sicilian orange and bergamot into aquatic notes, then settles on ambergris and ginger. Most find its wear time and projection moderate. It feels fresh and energising on summer days, including at work, though its simple citrus character may not suit everyone.
