Louis Vuitton Afternoon Swim

Louis Vuitton Afternoon Swim is a fragrance that captures the exhilarating feeling of diving into crystal-clear blue water under the warmth of a summer sun. Bursting with vibrant energy and sun-drenched freshness, this fragrance — composed by Louis Vuitton’s master perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud — is a celebration of freedom, joy, and the carefree spirit of the ocean.

From the very first spray, Afternoon Swim delivers a dazzling wave of citrus that immediately awakens the senses. The starring note is orange, ripe and juicy, radiating natural sweetness and golden warmth. This isn’t just a subtle citrus hint — it’s bold and alive, as if you’re peeling a fresh orange by the sea, the zest bursting with life.

Joining the orange is bergamot and mandarin, adding even more dimension to the citrus explosion. The bergamot brings a crisp, slightly bitter brightness that cuts through the sweetness, while the mandarin offers a soft, tangy softness. Together, these notes create a citrus accord that’s as radiant as a summer sky — refreshing, clean, and endlessly invigorating.

What makes Afternoon Swim exceptional is its clarity and purity. The fragrance is minimalistic by design, allowing the natural beauty of each note to shine without distraction. There are no heavy florals or deep woods here — just a crystal-clear blend that stays true to its name, evoking the splash of waves, the glint of sunlight on water, and the revitalizing embrace of the ocean breeze.

As the fragrance settles, the citrus notes remain present, gently mellowing into the skin. A soft, musky undertone begins to appear — subtle and clean — adding a layer of sensuality and warmth that enhances the feeling of sun-kissed skin. It’s a dry-down that doesn’t weigh down the fragrance, but rather adds a lasting, elegant freshness.

Afternoon Swim is a scent that invites you to escape — not through complexity, but through clarity and sensation. It’s perfect for hot summer days, beachside adventures, and moments when you want to feel awake, alive, and unburdened. It’s modern luxury in its most effortless form.

Presented in Louis Vuitton’s iconic gradient blue bottle, Afternoon Swim visually mirrors the ocean it evokes — cool, bright, and endlessly refreshing. It’s more than a fragrance; it’s a state of mind, bottled in light.
