To be honest, I wasn't a fan of LV Afternoon Swim, but after I heard that it was a mix of Afternoon Swim and Virgin Island Water, I became interested, I thought the top notes would be fishy like the sea scent in LV Afternoon Swim and its dupes, but that was all wrong after I smelled the very fresh lime and bergamot, the middle notes This is the part I like most about this perfume, I smell the freshness of coconut water with ginger which feels like a fresh soda drink, very energetic, overall this perfume is 9.2/10 I really like it

Really just a beautiful scent. The fact that for under 40 dollars, you can smell unique and the best in the room is amazing. This is definitely my signature scent for the summer. While it is very hard to get, it is worth the wait and effort.

Second review: don’t listen to the current main accords. They are not very accurate based on what my nose is picking up. It doesn’t list coconut, but you can smell a creamy coconut in the fragrance along with the mandarin orange and lime.

ppl are wildin. if you like oranges and don’t want a thick “creamy coconut” accord this is def right up your alley. the coconut water note in this is refreshing and not thick. sold my 50ML to get the 100.

Wow, what a wonderful fragrance! Very similar to Rahaan Aquatica imo. If you want a long lasting sunscreen tropical vibe this is for you. Great for the office,date night or the gym.

Smells like Imagination and Virgin Island Water

dude what the hell is this. picture this: youre in your kitchen, cleaning up the benchtops. you spray the spray n wipe.. cleaning grade citrus is the aroma in the air. you try not to get it on your skin because you dont want to smell it on yourself after cleaning. but oh wait- whats this- we’re all out of spray? all good. theres a bottle of coconut spray n wipe too and its got the name of tropical breeze or something, from the same brand you got your lemon one from (it was a 2 for deal and you wanted to switch it up with the smells). you spray that one for the rest of the benchtops. the scent fills the air, but mixes with the citrus one you sprayed moments ago. thats what this smells like. theres always this bleachy citrus smell in cheap dupes. ive noticed a very similar accord to hectic (that i dont get in the ogs!) and i dont really want to be reminded of cleaning while wearing a perfume

It's good but just okay. Definitely a much more banger scent for me than Rayhaan Aquatica. This is however way overhyped in social media. I do get the hybrid vibes of the orange of Afternoon Swim and the coconut in VIW albeit not really blended smoothly although that is expected for the price.

I was super excited for this one after trying Inception but was disappointed. It’s not a bad fragrance but I mostly smell lemon pledge and it’s still there in the dry down. There are better dupes with this DNA for less money.

Thsi is WAY overhyped, i heard a few reviewers on Youtube say how amazing this was, panty dropped, bla bla bla, this smells like im spraying sunkist orange soda on my skin, im lucky to smell it 30 minutes later, in paid $70 for this and glad i didnt spend more, was expecting ALOT more than what this is, absolutely drug store (cvs/walgreens) type of scent. Don't waste your money.

This is clearly a cross of Afternoon Swim x Creed VIW × Sospiro Vibrato. Replace the grapefruit in Sospiro Vibrato with the Fresh orange from Afternoon Swim. Then add in the Coconut and lime from Creed VIW. Each time I wear it I get something different. One day I'll get mostly lime/coconut, the next day I'll get more of that ginger/citrus dna. Im impressed with the longevity and how they were able to combine three of the most hyped Summer fragrances in to one and make it work so well. Truly delicious and beautifully crafted scent. 10/10

Nice fragrance. Afternoon swim mixed with Creed’s VIW. But if you own Rayhaan Aquatica it’s redundant because it leans towards VIW more than anything. A boozy sprite coconut type of fragrance.

As this stuff is like rocking horse sh#t, layering rayhaan aquatica and adonis icarus should get something close

Glad they waited a while to add it to fragrantica so people wouldn’t spam with negative comments
