City Rhythm Red Line 2654 is a fragrance that brings together two of the brand’s most popular releases—Miami and San Diego—into one seamless blend that’s both tropical and coastal. It opens with a vibrant mix of coconut, blood orange, lime, and a dash of sea salt, giving off an instant beachy vibe that feels fresh and sunny. The heart transitions into something a little richer and sweeter, with almond, sugar cane, nutmeg, osmanthus and Moroccan jasmine creating a slightly gourmand twist. By the dry-down, the base of rum, ambergris, tonka bean, and vanilla takes over, adding warmth and depth. Overall, the scent is playful, modern, and perfect for warmer weather, but with enough complexity to stand out in a crowd. This was a compliment puller, where people stated that i smell sweet and rich, a playful and youthful scent. In terms of longevity, Red Line 2654 does a decent job. On most people, it lasts around 8 to 10 hours, i was able to get at least 7. If i applied lotion i believe it wouldve been linger, which is still a solid performance for a summer-leaning fragrance. Some users report it fading faster, especially on dry skin or with newer batches, sometimes dipping to around 5 hours of wear hence what i went through but there are even a few mentions in the fragrance community about the need to let newer bottles macerate or settle for a few weeks to reach their full potential. Still, when the fragrance performs at its best, it sticks around well through the day without needing reapplication. The projection and sillage of 2654 are notable during the opening. It pushes out strongly for the first hour or two, easily filling a small room or leaving a noticeable trail when walking past someone. After that, it settles into a more moderate scent bubble, lingering within arm’s length for several hours. Depending on the weather—especially heat and humidity—it can behave a little differently. In hotter conditions, the tropical top notes bloom more aggressively, while in cooler environments, the scent seems to stay closer to the skin. Overall, the performance is respectable, though it’s not a powerhouse from start to finish.

Hey everyone again my apologies for a big delay. Crazy situations in nyc from what the news showed across the country, but I'm okay safe and sound and ready to give my review. So I spray all 3 jean lowe azure, lv afternoon swim, and roll it 7 by jo milano Longevity: jean lowe azure took the lead from the 3. The 2 sprays applied on the test strip from all three were all strong but within the 4 hour mark, afternoon swim was starting to faint and roll it 7 was getting there but still a tad bit stronger, while for azure, it still had the fresh citrus scent opening. So a W for Azure and last about 5 plus hours and had a nice dry down. Projection: So different days, wore each one and tried do on warm days in full police gear. Each one had good in the same range within 1-2 feet in the opening notes and was hard to put which one take the lead. Which I believe it comes to a tie for all 3. Sillage: So all 3 in my opinion have a problem with this. Azure while it has good longevity and okay projection, sillage is less moderate where it's not noticeable yet different review saying is overall watery and fades immediately which haven't dealt yet but when moving around some don't smell it. Roll it 7 is in the same but has a slight improve moderate sillage then azure. Probably due to quality of oils. And afternoon swim while being a great freshie in the lv line, it falls right under jo milano. Not a really a beast performer but when spray in clothes, it does keep that scent smelling great. I'm gonna have to go with Jo milano Note breakdown: For Jo Milano Roll It 7 have bergamot, mandarin, and Sicilian orange. The heart is a fresh aquatic accord, and the base note is musk. Azure has mandarin orange and bergamot in the top notes, orange in the heart and ginger and ambergris in the base. Louis Vuitton's Afternoon Swim has the notes of bergamot, mandarin orange, and Sicilian orange, with a heart of ginger and a base of ambergris. As you can see the notes are similar between afternoon swim and azure while roll it 7 has some minor difference between the other 2 but I believe thr musk played a great roll on possibly being more noticeable worthwhile then the other 2. While azure had the same notes, the orange in the middle note is more of light tart or light bitter orange rather the bright and zesty Sicilian orange in afternoon swim. While azure is close to afternoon swim, have to give it the OG.

So some of yall may know, a couple of months back I did a test of which frag comes close to God of Fire by Stephane Humbert Lucas and did a bunch of breakdowns and whatnot. Now in the Louis Vuitton line, there's a lot of inspire by frags that come really close to the original counterpart, imagination, pacific, ombre, symphony, meteore etc etc. But I feel afternoon swim doesn't really get the praise it gets. I enjoy it. I love the fresh citrus accord. Obviously, there's not much of inspired by frags that come close to it. combined diff scents to get a mod of afternoon swim. So I'm doing another test to see which frag comes close to afternoon swim and doesnt break the bank. And these 2 choices I feel come really close to the original. Jean Lowe Azure and Jo Milano Roll It 7. Did a spray test on straps at 435 pm and gonna see how's the results. Let's get it done.

Wow, wow, wow!!!!! My god, this is was a fun test and a complete banger!!!!!! This was honestly on the best ones to wear and try out. City Rhythm Puerto Rico is a tropical fragrance that aims to capture the feel of my island, my home away from home. Inspired by the sights, sounds, and warmth of Puerto Rico, this scent blends creamy fruits, soft woods, and a beachy vibe into a bold, fun experience. As part of City Rhythm’s travel-inspired line, it definitely stands out with its vibrant personality and strong presence. The opening is bright and juicy, with notes of mango milk, pineapple, and Spanish lime creating a sweet, fruity introduction. There's also a milky creaminess that gives it a smoothie-like texture right from the start. As it settles, you get more coconut and melon. The neroli doesnt come in at all, which i like because it'll taken away the true essence and feel of being in Puerto Rico. The dry-down brings in soft vanilla, musk, and driftwood—giving it a gentle, smooth base that lingers nicely without becoming too heavy. Performance wise, Puerto Rico does quite well. On skin, it lasts about 8 to 10 hours, sometimes longer depending on the weather or skin type. The projection is strong during the first few hours, reaching about arm’s length, then softens into a more subtle scent trail. Sillage is noticeable early on but doesn't overpower, making it a solid choice for warm days or outdoor events. It also exceeds in being a compliment factor with people saying it's smells really good, very tropical and fruity, the quality of the oils is rich and not cheap at all. While the scent is enjoyable overall, the opening can come off a little sharp or synthetic to some noses but this is not the case. It’s very fruity and sweet in the beginning, however, once it settles down, it becomes much smoother and more wearable. Sampling first is a good idea, especially since some batches may vary slightly in strength or smoothness. Overall, City Rhythm Puerto Rico is a bold, tropical fragrance that’s perfect for summer or when you just want to bring some sunshine into your day. It’s fruity, creamy, and long-lasting—great for people who enjoy expressive, vacation-style scents. If you're into coconut, mango, and soft woods, this one is definitely worth checking out.
