[LC] LV Afternoon Swim. Refilled ?

Hey,

I’ve already got multiple LV fragrances, and the stem looks like the ones I have.

The engraving looks more sloppy, and the smell isn’t quite the one I remember sampling in store (but I’m a bit nose blind since yesterday, so that could be it).

I’m concerned because I’ve seen a lot of fakes with that batch code (4D01), and the price was very low, so I pulled the trigger (can still return it).

TIA

Comparaison #2 : L’immensité VS Jean Lowe Immortel

As some of you asked a review of l’immensité (following Imagination), I figured out I could give my opinion on these 2.

This bottle of immortel has been used and macerating for about 9 months, so it should reflect the final product.

L’immensité :

Very manly fragrance, with very good projection. Subtle mix of ginger and citrus.

Jean Lowe Immortel :

After few months of wearing it from time to time, it definitely shares the same DNA. It is more ginger heavy (it overpowers a bit the rest IMO), as the citrus and aquatic notes are left behind. The magic of l’Immensité is that it’s a strong fragrance, but perfectly balanced and not overwhelming. Immortel doesn’t have quite that perfect balance. Can’t say much more, because after sampling them back and forth side by side I am nose blind lol.

Overall, its a good perfume on its own, but not a very good dupe of l’Immensité. It does share the same DNA, but it’s more a twisted and raw version of LV.

Should you buy it ?

It does smell more expensive that it is if that makes sense. I know that sampling these ME fragrances can be tough, so if you already sampled l’immensité and loved it, there’s a good chance you’ll like this one too. It is still way less complex and mixed than l’immensité, so keep that in mind.

I also pictured some of the dupe / OG perfume I have, if you’d like to see more let me know.
