Swim / SX

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the obvious based on the name itself. This fragrance feels like slipping beneath the surface of an Olympic-sized pool, where chlorine tang, humid air, and mineral freshness swirl together in a comforting embrace. It's youthful and smooth after that harsh alcohol opening — it's borderline intolerable the first few minutes. Pierre Guillaume [who incidentally looked good in a white dress shirt and black leather harness at Esxence 2022] manages to weave in a soft musk and a faintly sweet transparency, keeping it from smelling overly chemical or harsh. The result is oddly nostalgic and very seductive for me, evoking long hours spent in competition pools back in the 90s and early 00s, with the mix of chlorinated water, warm skin, and humid air. It’s more abstract than wearable for most, but for lovers of conceptual scents, Swim SX is a fascinating study in atmosphere. This is FB worth for me.

This perfume to me perfectly captures a snapshot of salty crashing waves and sun-warmed sands. What’s unusual about this perfume is that on first spritz, for around five minutes or so, it does have a harsh alcoholic note - but please give it time! Around 20 minutes in the most beautiful, sunny aquatic notes come through. It really does give the impression of a bather emerging from the ocean; swimsuits and salty skin. Whilst it may not have a huge sillage, you will get hints of this all day and it really does have staying power. The fragrance truly does evolve, and towards the end you do pick up the driftwood notes. Overall I really enjoy this perfume and it really does capture a facet of summer for me which makes me smile every time I smell it.

Swim Sx is an ethereal, clean and airy perfume. A beautiful musk I feel here, which gives comfort and caresses you, the rosewood gives timid accents. It is a beautiful evocative, unusual perfume that stands out from the others. A perfume for those who love to stand out, I like it a lot, and I'll wear it on summer days!

I was given a sample of this and I remember always liking the brand even when it was on different bottles called HUITIÈME ART if I'm not mistaken. I wasn't really sure what to expect with the same swim, but when I sprayed it on and let it work I fell in love immediately!

amazing intimate salty scent. everything is blended beautifully together. elegant, inoffensive, the texture is smooth like in all PG perfumes i’ve tried so far.
