Afternoon Swim evokes the energy of waves on the skin on a long summer day in California. Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud chose to put citrus in the foreground, materials he makes no secret of favouring.
A rare Sicilian orange, juicy and full of vitamins, mingles with a bergamot that sweeps everything away in a wave of freshness. A dazzling cologne, pure summer joy.

Afternoon Swim in detail
Afternoon Swim belongs to Louis Vuitton's Cologne Perfumes, sunny colognes inspired by the landscapes of California and composed in dialogue with the artist Alex Israel. Jacques Cavallier Belletrud, the house's master perfumer, imagines a dive into the ocean on a summer day.
The house lists two main notes, without sorting them into stages. Juicy, sunny orange is its subject. Bergamot adds a livelier, slightly bitter freshness. The fragrance relies on this simplicity: a feeling of cool water and sunshine, presented as an eau de parfum rather than an eau de Cologne.
Afternoon Swim is worn by day, in spring and summer: on holiday, by the pool, or in town in the heat. It will suit anyone who loves pure citrus.
Three citrus fragrances in our catalogue share its orange and bergamot: Silver Mountain Water by Creed, with tea and blackcurrant; Symphony by Louis Vuitton, lifted with ginger; Wūlóng Chá by Nishane, with tea and fig.
