I've had a sample for a couple years but rarely wear it, but Afternoon Swim is about to be my summer scent. May just spring the $300 for it
Silver Mountain Water by creed is probably my other favorite, fukk I'll just buy both and stop bytching. Colognes legit be lasting me like a decade so might as well do it

Not fragrance related but I also copped a couple of those Cremo bodywashes off Amazon after seeing some tiktoks of women saying how good men who wear it smell :dead:


Said I might fukk around and get something like this so I can get my nose on all of em fr



Somebody out there gotta have an even 'more miniature' version tho cuz LV wanna tax a nicca :deadrose:

LV Imagination - wow! How the fukk did I miss this one? This might tie Amyris Extrait as my all time fave. Banger - gonna have to drop $550 on that retail 6.8 fl oz size :damn:
How does it compare to LV afternoon swim?
Thinking about finally breaking the $300 threshold for afternoon swim but maybe I should smell imagination first before making the leap

Btw I wouldn't spend $300 (plus tax) on a discovery set for those Louis Vuittons.

I'm not judging. I have a decant of Imagination and love it.

$300 goes a long way though. I could probably get a couple of Argos and Xerjoffs for that. It's a delicate thing to balance. That's all I'm saying.

damn thanks. I went on the site couple days ago to price afternoon swim and didn't even see this. Doesn't look like it includes afternoon swim but I heard all LV scents be hitting like that so maybe worth it just to get Imagination and test the other ones

the only reason I know what Silver Mountain Water smell like is cause I found a $60 Creed sample box on one of the luxury sites like Bergdorf

How you gonna ROFL with a hollow back?
Yo, tik tok got these kids going absolutely fukking crazy. My assistant just dropped 185 dollars on some versace for her 12 year old son, because of course he saw some thing called "cologne boy" or some shyt, smh, and it had to be EDP instead of EDT because of the concentrate levels, like where do these kids even learn this shyt?

The price point on LV is ridiculous.

But I got mine on Reddit Fragrance Swap. I don't like the gambling aspect of sending somebody a Venmo...But I copped L'Immensite, Afternoon Swim, Imagination, and Ombre Nomade. rating - 10,9,9,5

Less citrusy, “cleaner” scent that projects more and lasts longer. I love afternoon swim, reminds me a lot of Tygar but it’s weak in performance. You get more out of Imagination.

I do remember this cologne coming out, but I don't remember having ever smelled it.
If it's true that it missed the mark in the intended demographic, that's too bad. And it's the fault of the marketing team and less about the fragrance itself.

That said, I think a lot of celebrities are probably wise to keep some distance between their name and their products. What I mean is, it's possible Jordan could have made more money from having a hand in creating fragrance profiles and having ownership of a brand...but not necessarily put his name and face to it.

Kind of how certain rappers have a stake in alcoholic brands but they don't market themselves as "Jay-Z Whiskey".

I pretty much get everything from Fragranceswap. After a while, you build relationships with usual sellers. I use DecantX when they have those 20-30% off after comparing with FragranceSwap prices. I heard that FB Marketplace is also solid. You can find LV decants going at $30 for 10 ml. Major sites double that price for the same 10 ML
I need to get that Le Beau Paradise Garden for summer tho. I saw it at Perfuum.
