I searched for ages for a clone of afternoon swim , it seemed as though there was plenty out there but just not in the Uk so last year I bit the bullet and treated myself for my birthday. As simple as the fragrance is , in my opinion it’s one of … if not the best summer fragrance around !! It’s literally summer in a bottle… BUT (there’s always a “BUT”) the longevity is pretty pants for the money (£300+) and knowing you have to over spray to get better life out of it … not a nice feeling watching the bottle disappear!! so when I’d heard about PP version, I was all over it . Anyone that has an OG and the dupe , especially a good like rare carbon, the tux or detour noir will know as close as they get to the fragrance, it’s still way off the quality.
There’s no difference with this fragrance super close , understandably lacks the quality BUT there’s a nice little trade off with this one … it lasts FOREVER!! On clothes you literally have to wash um to get the scent off them which for me makes noon dip … better than the OG . I honestly couldn’t recommend this fragrance highly enough 10/10
Ordered the small EDP sample and loved it, went for the extrait 60ml and it's even better, ridiculous performance and very close to LV. Highly recommend for summer.
This was what you wore to stand out form the Old Spice/Brut crowd. Lovely masculine smell.
I discovered the original scent (Kilian Smoking Hot) in a large dept. store and instantly fell in love with it. I've been waiting for PP to release this and they have hit the nail bang on the head with this one. It is identical to the original. Smells amazing and lasts for ages. I can still smell it on my clothes the next day. Only a very small amount needed for maximum effects. I'm using the 60ml Extrait. 10/10 PP.
This smells exactly like the original. It is my favourite summer scent. The blackberry is light and fruity and the bay works well to take it down a notch to stop it being too sweet. Very nicely balanced.
This is a tray of freshly baked Tarte au Citron, a hug from the Italian Nonna that fattens you up on cookies and milk, a shot of Limoncello on a warm summers day whilst picnicking in a lavender field! It’s pure gourmand lemon heaven… yes you need it!
