Our AFTERNOON SWIM Fragrance Oil is 98% close to the original AFTERNOON SWIM perfume launched by the Louis Vuitton brand in 2019. It has the same notes as are present in the original scent profile. Top notes are Mandarin Orange; middle notes are Sicilian Orange and Bergamot; base notes are Ambergris. This oil-based formulation eliminates the ethanol-driven ‘alcohol spike,’ allowing the volatile citrus molecules to remain suspended in a stable lipid matrix. This results in a smoother transition between the high-volatility top notes and the fixative base, preventing the rapid dissipation typically associated with hesperidic profiles.
Fragrance Notes
- Top Notes: Mandarin Orange (High Volatility Citrus)
- Middle Notes: Sicilian Orange, Calabrian Bergamot (Linalyl Acetate rich)
- Base Notes: Ambergris (Ambroxan-based fixative)
How It Performs
The molecular stability of this oil ensures a linear evaporation curve. While traditional EDP sprays offer a sharp, 30-minute citrus burst followed by rapid decay, this oil maintains a consistent sillage for 8 to 10 hours. The diffusion is intimate but steady, relying on skin temperature to activate the Ambergris molecules. The presence of high-grade fixatives ensures that the citrus heart does not oxidize prematurely on the skin.
Best Times to Wear
Designed for high-temperature environments (25°C+), the citrus molecules achieve optimal diffusion in heat. It is a technical choice for professional daytime settings where a non-intrusive, clean olfactory profile is required. It performs exceptionally well in summer and late spring.
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Extended citrus longevity (8+ hours) | Lacks the initial alcohol ‘blast’ or projection |
| No synthetic ethanol harshness | Lower radius of diffusion compared to EDP |
| Skin-safe lipid base | Requires skin contact for heat activation |
How It Compares
This oil reconstruction focuses on the density of the Mandarin accord. By removing the 80% alcohol content found in the original, we have increased the concentration of the essential oils. The result is a scent that is technically identical in profile but superior in duration, trading the wide-reaching ‘spray cloud’ for a long-lasting, concentrated skin scent.
What Customers Say
