- Most reviewers consider it an extremely close, roughly 95% match that effectively captures the bright, juicy citrus profile of Afternoon Swim.
- Some users detect slight twists, comparing it variously to Dior Homme Cologne or Bleu de Chanel, with occasional complaints of a cleaner-like citrus note.
- Longevity receives significant criticism, with some wearers reporting exceptionally poor performance on the skin.
Where people agree
“Afternoon Swim — Jean Lowe Azure Bright, juicy orange with a super clean feel. The dupe captures that nicely.”
reddit post ↗“Like pretty much every Jean Lowe, it is not a 1:1 dupe but rather a twisted version of the OG, and honestly I like it more. Obviously, you can’t compare the ingredient quality of a 25$ and 350$ fragrance, that wouldn’t make any sense.”
reddit post ↗“So many times I sprayed AS on one hand and JL on the other hand and forgot which is which. Overall this is the closest Jean Lowe (noir/ ombré nomade and immortel/ L’immensite) being pretty close I would say 95%.”

“Jean Lowe Azure (Afternoon Swim clone) : This one I’m not really a fan of at all. Although I haven’t let it mature yet. I do get slight Bleu de Chanel vibes with a more citrus twist. I like BDC but not this one. Smells really light on skin”
reddit post ↗“Jean Lowe Azure - Super fresh/citrusy just like Afternoon Swim but can’t recommend it due to absolutely TRASH -1/10 performance.”
reddit post ↗“It’s smells very similar to Afternoon Swim but the longevity is shit. I spayed my Afternoon tester on one arm and Azure on the other and after 2 hours Azure was completely gone, Afternoon lasted after 6 hours. The scent is very good and sme”
reddit post ↗“I’ve seen online reviews glaze this as one of the most accurate LV AS dupe but for me it’s not unfortunately. The Longevity is also very poor, 4-5 hrs in a good day and the projection and sillage were also very weak. Also the opening is ver”
reddit post ↗“3. Jean Lowe Azure Maison Alhambra (LV Afternoon Swim) Again, strong alcohol on opening that gets to sweet citrus (mandarin) and ginger scent. In time that sweet goes away, leaving just fresh scent And again, performance is weak. Pretty muc”

- Reddit generally views Armaf Odyssey Limoni as capturing a similar vibe to Afternoon Swim, though many consider it a hybrid twist with Imagination.
- Community members note it is citrus-forward with candied lemon, orange, marine notes, and tea, rather than an exact 1:1 clone.
- Dissenting opinions argue it is at best roughly 60% similar to Afternoon Swim, though some actually prefer it over the original.
Where people agree
“Armaf odyssey limoni - very citrus forward, you get lemons and oranges, as it drys down you get the marines notes and gets sweet but not too sweet. dupes afternoon swim and imagination.”
reddit post ↗“I compared the 4 clones (well... 3 and 1 twist) of Afternoon Swim that I had on hand after being asked about Jean Lowe Azure on a different post. I will preface this by saying that the last of the sample of Volare Above the Clouds I had was”

Where people disagree
“you put an Afternoon Swim clone in a review for Imagination”
reddit ↗“Odyssey Limoni I don't see why people say this is an Afternoon Swim twist. You need to squint very hard to think that. It starts with a BLAST of candied lemon and orange/mandarin up top, and has a nice tea note at the base. At best, this is”
reddit post ↗“Limoni isn't really a direct clone.”
reddit ↗“Limoni smells like a very sweet lemonade powder drink to me. It's nice, but I would say it's the furthest from Afternoon Swim.”
reddit ↗“Limoni is afternoon swim inspired but not a very good one.”
