Socal

Parfumour’s Interpretation of Hollister SoCal

SoCal is Hollister’s laid-back, summery fresh green scent, and our version keeps that character, built around the same notes with strong, lasting wear.

The Story Behind the Scent

Hollister built SoCal in 2007 as a fresh green scent evoking a California beach, pairing a juicy kiwi and mandarin opening with a lavender and green leaf heart over a soft musk woody base for a laid-back, summery character.

Our interpretation follows that character, rebuilt at a high perfume oil concentration so it projects well and lasts on skin.

How Our Version Compares to the Original

We build ours as an eau de parfum with a high perfume oil load and sell direct, so you get the same fresh green aquatic character with strong projection and longevity.

Who It’s For

It suits anyone who loves a fresh green aquatic scent.
