The review
On paper, Beach Bum Absolute (Compound Edition) is a reasonable bet if you want Afternoon Swim for less.
Scentual Obsessions 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.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Scentual Obsessions 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 Beach Bum Absolute (Compound Edition) 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.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
