Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Burlington EDP
This is a real love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent. Some reckon it's a masterpiece of modern citrus, pure class in a bottle, while others find the cumin note absolutely vile, smelling of burnt rubber or body odour. It's a divisive one, so sample before you splurge on that hefty price tag.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Ocean Swim 05 EDP
Ocean Swim 05 delivers the same energetic orange-bergamot burst as Louis Vuitton Afternoon Swim, though the original's already-modest longevity is shortened further, fading to nothing within a couple of hours.

Season and Occasion Fit

Burlington

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

While some find its projection considerable, others say it's understated, making it potentially suitable for the office. Its complex, citrus-woody profile and subtle spice lend themselves well to dates and casual wear, though the polarizing cumin note might be a risk for formal settings.

Ocean Swim 05

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Vivid orange-citrus burst with a light musk base is built for hot-weather daytime wear.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Sport

Energetic and casual - great for sport and everyday wear, too simple for formal occasions.
