FragDNA score · on paper

The review

On paper, Daytime Drift is a strong bet if you want Afternoon Swim for less.

ALT Fragrances sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Afternoon Swim's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $82 per 100ml it costs 83% less than Afternoon Swim — the 14th cheapest of 20 twins we can price.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength ALT Fragrances publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

The original opens on mandarin orange, sicilian orange and bergamot, turns to ginger, and settles into ambergris. That is the brief Daytime Drift is working from.

Top

  • mandarin orange
  • sicilian orange
  • bergamot

Heart

  • ginger

Base

  • ambergris
Orange and ginger over salt-slick ambergris, fizzing and cold, a pool at four in the afternoon.
