Aromers No 98 Afternoon Swim is an Extrait de Parfum. No 98 Afternoon Swim opens with Orange and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Bergamot and Ginger, and dries down to a base of Ambergris. Aromers's No 98 Afternoon Swim carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Louis Vuitton's Afternoon Swim is prized for its crisp, hyper-realistic citrus, and this dupe captures that juicy orange-mandarin brightness closely - the ambroxan finish is simpler than LV's but the overall freshness holds up.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

No 98 opens with the same bright, juicy citrus rush that made Afternoon Swim a modern classic - Sicilian orange and mandarin lead the charge, tasting almost realistic in their tartness. Bergamot and ginger keep the middle lively without adding sweetness, staying true to the clean, uncomplicated character Jacques Cavallier built into the original. The base settles into a simple ambergris finish rather than LV's more polished ambroxan-driven skin scent, so the drydown is a touch less refined and fades slightly sooner. That said, the top-to-heart journey is where Afternoon Swim earns its praise, and this dupe reproduces that stage convincingly. It's an easy, unisex daytime fragrance well suited to warm weather, casual wear, and anyone who wants that 'midday dip in the Mediterranean' feeling without the luxury price tag.
