Biggest difference for me is the amount of vetiver I get from Elysium. It gives it a grassy and classically masculine nature. While it's more simple than his others, it has that signature Roja complexity. Afternoon Swim is primarily a citrus fragrance. They do list ginger and ambergris as notes, but they're primarily there to support the citrus. I can't really pick them out myself. Both are great fragrances, you can't really go wrong with either.
First off, I love your enthusiasm and your reviews keep up the outstanding work! I have LV afternoon swim and absolutely love it, although yes you need to spray extra
I swear no one in San Diego wears fragrance. I’ve honestly never walked by someone at the mall or in a store , in my daily errands, and walked by someone where I said “damn he/ she’s wearing a fragrance!” Because of this I feel like I’m scaring people when I wear a Roja or Creed
I live in San Diego and feel the same way. The times I'll smell a fragrance is if its on a female friend or a random stranger out and about. You can wear almost pretty much anything and set yourself apart and not really smell like other people, which is our benefit
Unrelated: I saw the new Batman and you were so right, this one is the absolute best. Everything from top to bottom was amazing, even down to using "Something in the Way".
Not sure if anyone has corrected you but for the Louis refills, it has to be the same fragrance as the bottle. Mixing a new fragrance into the bottle would mix oils inside and create an odd scent. Also i know its less for the refill but not sure if the refill is 50% off the refill
i tried elysium and fell in love! got the full bottle! lmao my lola steals a couple sprays. thank you for the cool vids! hope to try out afternoon swim sometime soon.
It’s crazy how I do kind of smell pineapple in Elysium but I looked at the notes, I didn’t see pineapple listed. Regardless, I picked up a sample and I love the citrusy smokiness it has. You’re right about performance, I definitely had to overspray and it didn’t last that long. Projections lacks a little too. I love afternoon swim as always Great video!
Can’t agree with poor performance on Elysium. Got a text later the next day saying house smelled divine after I was there the night before. Idk what everyone else’s issue
@@melissanacional9662 maybe they’re passing false info so that others are deterred from buying it-keeping it from becoming an overly saturated fragrance 🤫😂😂😂
I wouldn't mind sampling Elysium but if longevity sucks as it does for most people , no way I'm buying a full bottle. I have designer fragrances for a 4th of the price and last over 8 hrs easy lol. Thanks for sharing Melissa!

Elysium is more sharp, more smoky, like creed, more for men plus you can get it for discount around 180, lv in other hand is more watery not, better for hot hot summer, you cant get a dollar from it, but you can get refill for only 170 after that, lv is better value in long run last longer too, about 7 only skin, elysium only about 5 on skin
Cool video. I have both but never thought to compare them. Do you have LV Ombré Nomade or Le Sable Roses? Both great fragrances. The latter doesn’t have good longevity but it’s beautiful. Would like to see you review them when you get a chance.
@@lucasgomez4877 Only negative to Ombré Nomade is that it’s to strong to wear in warm weather. At least in my opinion, I know fragrance & choices are subjective & entirely up to the individual.
Have you had a chance to get your nose on the Supernova Cologne special edition by DUA? It is an Elysium clone. Smells amazing. Very close to the original. Would be very curious to know what you think about it after hearing what you thought about CDNM by Armaf compared to Aventus.
I have smelled plenty of blue designers and like them all but when I first smelled Elysium (unlabeled sample, so I wasn’t even biased) I was blown away. To each their own. The price point is painful though.
Bro don’t listen to these comments. Afternoon Swim leans more masculine. Buy it and wear it this summer. It’s an amazing scent. It’s a citrusy fragrance that smells like a freshly peeled mandarin by the lake on a hot summer day. It’s one of the best designer summer fragrances you can get.
anytime you find yourself saying one fragrance “murders” another, and you also have a shirtless selfie avi, it’s time to stop and reevaluate several things

I blind bought the Roja because of you. And let me tell you ….. I love it! The dry down hit just right for me.
SEE this why I even rewatch Melissa , there are always tips in there thank you for the layering combo tip
because of you, I purchased Afternoon swim and i love it sooooooooo much!!!!

Have you tried bvlgari tygar? Higher quality afternoon swim

Love the video Melissa stay motivated dream big 1 mill on the way
Thanks Antwain!
I’d be interested in your opinion on the Elysium Parfum pour Homme vs the Cologne
Lol, there is NO Pineapple in Elysium. Top Notes are Grapefruit, Lemon, Bergamont, Lime and a few others, but NO Pineapple.
You do know these houses don't really list like everything right?
Unrelated: I saw the new Batman and you were so right, this one is the absolute best. Everything from top to bottom was amazing, even down to using "Something in the Way".
Ayyyy! Definitely loved it in theaters as well :)
Related but unrelated… Catwoman is a baddieeee in that movie.

I was told by several reps here in the states that it’s any Fragrance
@@melissanacional9662 you can do it w any fragrance but it has to be the right bottle
I believe a refill is $200 usd now
I’ve gotten 10 hours with afternoon swim. I’ve also only gotten 5 hours. The difference was how hydrated I was.
Interesting

I love afternoon swim as always
Great video!
I think that’s the grapefruit my friend
Youre correct...Theres no pineapple in Elysium..she just mispoke
Which one would be better for the gym? Is either too loud for the gym if you do 2 or 3 sprays?
Can’t agree with poor performance on Elysium. Got a text later the next day saying house smelled divine after I was there the night before. Idk what everyone else’s issue
I get solid performance with it on myself as well

What about their layering?
Could you do a video of your layering technique for all four fragrances(Elysium n TM OW and LV n Molecule 01)?
I have just RUclips my name with the fragrances :)
@@melissanacional9662 afternoon swim layered
Elysium also goes rly well with royal oud
Just bought Elysium, very happy. Downside is I'm now very hungry as I can no longer afford food. Upside is I smell sexy af.
you cant bring an afternoon swim bottle to refill sur la rouge, only original on that bottle

😂 I took my air pod out because I thought someone in my house was vacuuming. It’s not too bad tho. You good.
Me too 😂
two absolute bangers 🔥🥵
Where did u find samples of afternoon swim ?
Thank you Melissa! Great content as always. I'm really looking forward to test Afternoon swim.
Yoo Out of topic but what do you think of Ombre nomade by LV?
I can tell that lawnmower pissed her off 🤯😂🌹💯🏆💪🏿
And yes the same do not compare my two favs
They’re so good

ombré nomade is really good, to me les sable roses smelled like my moms old perfume
@@lucasgomez4877 Haha!

afternoon swim is pathetic, lasts 20 mins max.
love the chain, Franco 5mm?
I have both I need 10x sprays on them just to get around 6 hours
thats normal sprays if not low count

Hahahahahaha come on man. Smh. Dua he said smh
Lmfao 🤣 shit went down when I started wearing that ...
Hey have you tried Santal 33?
I haven’t!
Elysium is pure hype, nothing but tangerine flavored water. Save your money and buy a designer frag that cost 80% less.
funny how people who doesn't know anything about the topic comments ^
I have smelled plenty of blue designers and like them all but when I first smelled Elysium (unlabeled sample, so I wasn’t even biased) I was blown away. To each their own.
The price point is painful though.
Go buy a designer save money...LV= $575aud lol
Blasphemy. Elysium is Godly
Idk I get nothing but pineapple from elysium
Elysium fades away fast
Is it true that Afternoon swim leans feminine, I had it in my cart the other day and pulled it out after seeing alot of people saying its for women
I think it’s a unisex fragrance. However, at LV stores, they keep it displayed with the Masculine scents
I’m a male and wear it. It kind of smells like you just got out the pool if that helps.
It's marketed as unisex but honestly man it's for women. I tried it and the dry down is feminine.
@@AH-hz5xc I have it now and it's one of my favorites. I love it.
Bro don’t listen to these comments. Afternoon Swim leans more masculine. Buy it and wear it this summer. It’s an amazing scent. It’s a citrusy fragrance that smells like a freshly peeled mandarin by the lake on a hot summer day. It’s one of the best designer summer fragrances you can get.
Elysium is 100% higher quality. AS smells great, but it’s linear and synthetic.
Absolutely afternoon swim ! Elysium is overrated I wasn’t a fan !!!
Starwalker? Who the hell has starwalker in 2022 lol
Elysium doesn’t have pineapple
I got afternoon swim
Bc of your review and I gotta say I do love it. Smells just like
🍊💦😏 thanks for your reviews
FIRST BABY :)
#1🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
150pliss😂😂😂
I haven’t tried afternoon swim yet but allure homme sport murders elysium as a fresh citrusy fragrance. They both have shitty performance tho.
I will respectfully disagree lmao
false

Ur crazy Matt. Give your a head a wobble. Were you drunk when you made this comment ?
I also disagree. Bigly. lol
Roja elysuim don’t last total wast of money u have 1 hour Max
Ridiculously false
@@Paulhartrocks u have to over spray for anyone to notice u wearing it
Second.
🔥
Ysl
I'm sorry I would never spend 300 dollars on a fragrance that only has 3 notes like afternoon swim does elysium is the way to go
Elysium doesn’t last on my skin 🥲
Yeah, You need the parfum version to get longevity
