$430 designer scent for $40 | Pinnace Oryn vs Afternoon Swim by LV (opens in a new tab)Pinnace Oryn by French Avenue — a fragrance that’s turning heads for being a near-perfect dupe of the luxury favorite Afternoon Swim by Louis Vuitton. At a fraction of the price, this is such a col deal!!

$430 designer scent for $40 | Pinnace Oryn vs Afternoon Swim by LV (opens in a new tab)A bit denser and a slight bit sweeter than the original DNA, but it really does it's thing, especially when it comes to sillage!

AN UNDERRATED INSPIRATION. HOW CLOSE IS FRAGRANCE WORLD PINNACE ORYN TO AFTERNOON SWIM. (opens in a new tab)Love the honest review mate. And the fact that you call out the synthetic aspect to Pinnace Oryn.

French Avenue Pinnace Oryn vs Louis Vuitton Afternoon Swim (opens in a new tab)I got it and I have a 2ml of afternoon swim. I CANT NOTICE ANY DIFFERENCE!!
YouTube comment@flexhenry395% match, read from the wording
French Avenue Pinnace Oryn vs Louis Vuitton Afternoon Swim (opens in a new tab)Beast mode projection but only last 2 hours, needs to macerate probably but week 2, smells pretty much identical to afternoon swim so it improved even after 1 week.
What people say about their own bottles, not a guarantee. Batches vary, so test on skin before you buy.
