Socal

Socal, inspired by Hollister SoCal

Tangerine gives the scent a zesty, sunny citrus opening, and magnolia adds a clean, lightly creamy floral heart. Beyond those two notes, little has been published about the composition. Hollister pitched the original SoCal as a casual, pretty scent of Southern California beach life, and the profile keeps things simple.

About the original

Hollister, part of Abercrombie & Fitch, has sold a women's SoCal and a separate SoCal for Men, both marketed as the scent of Southern California. A women's SoCal Eau de Parfum later followed, listed as a 2021 release with tangerine and magnolia. Both women's versions are classed as floral fruity. The launch year of the original women's scent is not documented.

Our version

Ours is an independent eau de parfum made to evoke the same character. It is not Hollister stock, not an official relaunch and not the original formula.

Who it suits

Uncomplicated and fresh, it is a light fruity floral rather than a rich one. Little detail exists about its structure, so a buyer who wants a deep or layered scent may find it simple.

Notes of the original fragrance, as listed in fragrance references.

Notes: Tangerine, Magnolia

Tangerine opens it with a fresh, sunny citrus tone.

Magnolia forms the floral heart, clean and lightly creamy. These are the only notes published for the 2021 SoCal Eau de Parfum.
