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 - Afternoon Splash EDP
Afternoon Splash chases Louis Vuitton's Afternoon Swim's citrus-and-sea-salt formula, but the orange notes come across louder and more candied while the ambergris-musk base is noticeably lighter and shorter-lived than the original's mineral, skin-like drydown.

Seasons

Best For:
Summer

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.
