Funnily enough, I was just thinking about going to an LV store and testing these 2 fragrances. Then, I stumbled upon this video. You have steadily became my favorite fragrance youtuber after I found your channel, man.
Very good review & analysis. I like your honesty and how you include imagery & settings along with the notes to describe the fragrances. After all ... fragrances due invoke imagery among other things like feelings, and emotions. Btw new subscriber. 👍
@@flowerforsyte5671 thanks for the sub and the comment! Imagery is one of the best ways to make abstract descriptions more relatable. I love all type of language 🙂
I love the opening of afternoon swim, after you get an ambroxan=bom, which i find too heavy in the high heat but doesn’t stay long. Pacific Chill, works much better in the high heat. I get a lot of honey-melon-smell from it, or fruit cocktail. Unisex and very fun scent , summer, casual, carefree and stays longer on skin in heat.
Yeah, can confirm. Imagination lasts 8 hours easily and you can smell it from skin even after 12 - 14 hours. Opening is gorgeous and drydown pleasantly calming. I could wear it every day in a summer if it wasn’t that expensive.
Pacific Chill & Afternoon Swim are great for the high heat. PC is probably my number 2 LV scent for summer. But my absolute number 1 is Imagination. It's so gorgeous.
I had a bottle of Naxos and I really like it even if a little simple; that being said, sometimes simple is exactly what the doc prescribed! I’ll try to figure out a way of doing a revisitation.
I think Imagination and L’Immensite are the better duo than these two. The names may be a little more abstract and doesn’t give you that idea that Pacific Chill and Afternoon Swim have, but the performance on both are stellar. Everyone around me loves L’Immensite on me while I love smelling Imagination on myself. It’s both refreshing and relaxing to me. Have you smelled Issey Miyake L’eau D’Issey Pour Home? Jacques Cavallier’s most famous work is probably the AdG but LDPH is my favorite from him. It can go toe to toe with these LV freshies with its quality and complexity.
I get more than 3 hrs of afternoon swim, perhaps 4-7 hrs, 3 hrs would be slightly better sillage time frame from my perception but I definitely get it for myself for a bit longer
Thank you for your video. Truth should be told :) I’ve also purchased decants of Imagination and Pacific Chill. Pacific Chill is a very citrusy, mild scent-really relaxing at the beginning, but after 2-3 hours, there’s nothing left. And it’s really more of a feminine scent; women who smelled it on me said, “Yes, it’s OK, but it’s more for me.” 😅 The prices are just insane-way overpriced and way overhyped. Hype is selling these, but it’s just not fair to pay 280 euros for 100ml of something that is OK with moderate performance. It should be a beast for that money 😊 Keep up the good work, and I wish you all the best.
Afternoon Swimm: A nice freshy, but nothing special too justify the price. Pacific Chill: Pleasant, somehow more present than afternoon swim, unisex, leaning more feminine. To me, it is not worth the price. For a man, better would be L’Immensite, Sur la Route and Orage. Awesome video presentation as always!
I really like Guerlain! I’ve had some of the newer ones, they were good but nothing crazy. I’m looking to dive into some classics… stay tuned about that 😉

@@SeldomlyOften I think the go to pressure relief is cuts or segments. Jump cuts, somewhat ‘random’ emphasizing noises, some stock footage clips fitting to what you’re saying, music switch ups.

@@Trendy_Niche_Fragrance I think their fragrances are pretty varied and really good on a utility and wearability aspect, but I think there is a little more room for creativity. That being said, I like them and looking to get a couple more.
@@leroybrown8926 wow you gave the whole bottle away? I like the simplicity of AS, it’s so refreshing. That being said, I found something that suits me better (next first impression video).
u cant rate afternoonswim after 1h, becouse there isnt any of afternoonswim after one hour, longevity is terrible, scent itself? briliant. Longevity? there isnt :D that why is not worth to buy it, for 290€/100ml, scent without longevity and projection, its too high price, get Novellista Citrus Affair, same scent, better longevity and projection for fraction price of LV AS
You use super as an adverb far too much. It should never be used, actually, as it’s one of the most painful Americanisms ever, but you take it to another level. I nearly had a stroke every time you said “super” or “super, super”. What happened to “very”? What about “extremely” or “exceptionally” or some other adverb? What about a more powerful adjective? Come on. You’re not twelve.
@SeldomlyOften yeah I own that one I managed to get a few LV testers nice fragrance for the summer but poor performance. Not as interesting as tom ford mandarino di amalfi
Pacific chill is absolutely feminine it smells like apricot something like my little nieces would wear not grown men. Imagination is the best from Louis Vuitton inly Imagination the rest are meh
@@ryany2882 I now have Imagination and really appreciate it but I still would wear Pacific Chill in the summer. It really depends on your vibe: I like cheerful fun fragrances.
@SeldomlyOften off topic but try and review town and country from clive christian it's one of my least favourite fragrances I'd be interested to see what you think. Also hedonistic from the same brand. That one I really like
@ I smelled Hedonistic before the holidays and was totally in love. The perfect cherry for me. I’ll keep my eyes open for a chance at Town and Country 😉

@@sacnereob the opening on AS is one of the most beautiful citruses out there. Longevity is terrible and the ambroxan base is a pass
Try Imagination. That is the bets fragrence from the brand. Beautiful stuff.
I have to try that one out although I’m not really attracted by the notes.
@@SeldomlyOften it has a really calming black tea note with some really uplifting citrus. It's a super comforting and happy scent.
@@RobbieSwan yeah unfortunately you have to add something to the body of the fragrance to make it last. I’ll try to get a sample 🙂
@@SeldomlyOften Imagination lasts much longer on me than both pacific chill and afternoon swim. I get 8 hours easily.

@@SeldomlyOftenIt’s also a huge compliment getter.

I’ve been using the sample after the video and I have to say that spraying more definitely helps the longevity while still never being overwhelming.
Check out the fragrances from Success, German clone house.
thanks for the recommendation, I'm not into clones but I'll at least check it out.

Sadly I have to agree. I do like these but when you factor in the price I just can’t stomach the purchase.
Nice vid! Do you own any Guerlain fragrances?

Yes, just spray more. 😎

Imagination is LVs best fragrance and last forever

Really professional analysis. Somewhat tiring over time but still quite underrated channel it seems

Price to performance ratio means these fragrances aren’t worth it for me.
Yep… so you have any recommendations for similar yet long lasting stuff?
@@SeldomlyOften Nishane Wulong Cha or Ege
@@Tony-os6ib I have a sample of Wulong Cha, I’ll be testing it in a first impressions soon.
@@SeldomlyOftenperhaps sospiro vibrato, xerjoff uden, wulóng cha (X?), although none of these play quite the same role.
@@andrei-cosmin.popa85 yeah ideally I’m looking for a stronger Afternoon Swim with no additional notes. Yeah I know, it sort of defies physics…

Afternoon swim is nice. Not great on longevity for the price. Pacific chill I didn’t like at all. I think it’s the coriander. I gave it away.

You are right, I think I've been integrating too much Swiss German (they use super a TON). I'll try to pay more attention.
No, they’re not right lol. Speak naturally and how you want. That was a dumb criticism and ironically juvenile.
@@SeldomlyOftenPlease ignore this dumb comment. You speak beautifully
Pacific Chill has incredible performance ill give it that
@@ryany2882 well, it was way better than Afternoon Swim, I’ll give it that 😅
@SeldomlyOften yeah I own that one I managed to get a few LV testers nice fragrance for the summer but poor performance. Not as interesting as tom ford mandarino di amalfi
@ true but that one appears to be discontinued and really hard to find. I used to have a decant a long time ago and loved it.
