Afternoon Swim Eau de Parfum Sample

Description
Afternoon Swim is one of the most transportive releases from the house — a sun-drenched aquatic that captures the feeling of warm water, sea air and cool shade with effortless precision. It sits in that rare category of fragrances that feel simultaneously light and luxurious, effortless and considered. If you've been curious about it but haven't committed to the full bottle, this is exactly the right way to start.
The opening is bright and immediate — bergamot and mandarin arrive with a clean, sparkling citrus energy that never turns sharp or synthetic. As it settles, a cool aquatic heart emerges, built around transparent musks and a quietly mineral quality that evokes still, clear water. The dry-down is smooth and skin-close, with soft woods and clean musks keeping the fragrance anchored without ever turning heavy. It performs beautifully in warmer weather and carries well for five to seven hours on most skin types, projecting quietly without announcing itself across the room.

Why sample first?
Aquatic fragrances are polarising — some people find them transcendent, others find them too clean or linear. The only way to know which camp you're in is to wear it. A sample lets you test it on your skin, through the dry-down, across a full day — before spending several hundred pounds on a bottle from this house.
What you'll receive
A sealed glass atomiser spray vial containing genuine Afternoon Swim, decanted directly from the original bottle. Each ml gives approximately 15 sprays. The 1ml gives you enough for a full day's wear and a thorough first impression. The 5ml takes you across multiple occasions and different weather. All sizes are filled to order and arrive ready to use.
Is it authentic?
Every decant is drawn from a sealed, genuine bottle. Nothing is blended, diluted or altered in any way. The fragrance you receive is identical in concentration and formula to what you'd find in a boutique.
