Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Afternoon Swim EDP
This is a juicy, natural orange bomb that brings all the summer vibes, but the price-to-performance ratio has people in a chokehold. Prepare for a glorious, albeit fleeting, citrus burst that you'll either adore enough to reapply constantly or dismiss as wildly overpriced orange juice.
Favourite
Our Verdict - No.585 Afternoon Swim EDP
A linear citrus-forward dupe of Louis Vuitton's Afternoon Swim, built almost entirely on Sicilian orange, mandarin and bergamot. Simpler than the original's blend but captures the bright, unisex freshness well for the price.

Season and Occasion Fit

Afternoon Swim

Seasons

Best For:
Summer
Also Works:
Spring

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Given its fresh, light citrus profile and generally poor longevity, Afternoon Swim is best suited for casual wear, holidays, or sports. It's too fleeting and summery for formal events or most office settings, though a quick reapplication could make it work for a casual date.
