The review
Strong contender. That is where Above The Clouds lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Afternoon Swim.
Volare 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 $32 per 100ml it costs 89% less than Afternoon Swim — the 2nd cheapest of 22 twins we can price.
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 Volare 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
What it is chasing: mandarin orange, sicilian orange and bergamot up top, ginger in the middle, ambergris underneath — the shape of Louis Vuitton Afternoon Swim.
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.
