Dupes for Afternoon Swim Eau de Parfum
9 affordable alternatives - from £7
Original
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.

Afternoon Swim and North Stag Expressions IV QUATRE are strikingly similar citrus fragrances, but diverge significantly in price and nuance.
What makes a good dupe?
A good dupe captures the essence of the original fragrance - the same mood, the key accords, the general character - at a more accessible price point. It doesn't need to be a molecule-for-molecule copy. The best dupes feel right for the same occasions and carry a similar energy, giving you more ways to enjoy a scent profile you love.
We assess dupes by comparing the fragrance profile of the original against the dupe: shared accords, overlapping notes, similar longevity and projection, and occasion suitability. Our similarity scores reflect how closely the two fragrances align in character - not just raw ingredients.
