Flora Five's Louis Vuitton Afternoon Swim inspired unisex attar is an alcohol-free, oil-based interpretation of the sun-flooded Mediterranean citrus of Louis Vuitton Afternoon Swim. Mandarin and Sicilian orange pour out like juice over crushed ice, bergamot adds its bitter-green polish, a snap of fresh ginger keeps the heart alive, and mineral ambergris stretches the sunshine into a salty second-skin drydown — lasting roughly 6–8 hours on skin.

Louis Vuitton Afternoon Swim |
How it compares. Our attar captures the recognisable Afternoon Swim accord — that luxuriously simple orange-ginger-ambergris triangle, citrus done with a jeweller's restraint. Because it's a concentrated oil with no alcohol, the opening is softer (no spray "blast"), it develops more slowly, sits closer to the skin, and lasts noticeably longer than an alcohol spray.
Since the formula carries no alcohol, it won't evaporate off your skin in the afternoon sun the way a citrus spray does. Roll a thin line over each wrist and one along the neck; as you warm up, the ginger sharpens and the ambergris turns pleasantly saline. Oils can stain, so let it sink in before pulling on a white shirt.
Available as a roll-on in 3 ml, 6 ml and 12 ml. Free shipping on orders from ₹499 · Cash on Delivery available (no COD fee from ₹799) · 7-day exchange or store credit.
Frequently asked questions
What does Louis Vuitton Afternoon Swim attar smell like?
Pure holiday: a wave of sweet mandarin and Sicilian orange sharpened by bergamot, with fresh ginger fizzing underneath like tonic water. Ambergris gives the base a salty, sun-warmed-skin quality instead of sugar. It is uncomplicated on purpose — luminous citrus, done beautifully.
How long does it last?
Roughly 6–8 hours on skin — excellent for a citrus-aquatic, a genre that usually vanishes by lunch. The bright orange facade softens after the first two hours, leaving a skin-level ginger-ambergris warmth that carries you through the working day without shouting.
How is Flora Five's version different from the original Louis Vuitton Afternoon Swim?
The Louis Vuitton original is a high-end alcohol spray whose dazzling citrus burst fades fast — and costs tens of thousands of rupees. Our oil interpretation opens more quietly, holds the orange-ginger accord against your skin for hours longer, contains no alcohol, and asks a tiny fraction of the price.
Which size should I choose — 3, 6 or 12 ml?
Citrus oils get used quickly in Indian summers, so decide by habit: 3 ml to sample the character, 6 ml for weekend and travel wear, and 12 ml if you'll reach for it every morning from March to October — the largest bottle costs the least per swipe.

All Flora Five fragrances are 100% alcohol-free pure perfume oils. Formulated without denatured ethanol or propellants, each blend opens gently on skin without an alcohol evaporation sting and unfolds naturally with your body warmth.
Formulations are blended in small batches in our Sirhind workshop with balanced cosmetic ingredients to protect scent stability. Blend ratios and dermal tolerance are supervised under chemistry expertise, using cruelty-free components.
We recommend a standard patch test on the inner wrist before regular wear. Store bottles upright in a cool, dark place away from direct heat and sunlight.
