The house of Hollister gifted the world with Pacific Beach in 2016. A feminine fragrance belonging to the fruit and gourmet families. Concentration — fragrant mist: exactly what it needs to be.
Brand country — the United States: a place that truly knows its way around a great scent. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A weightless, fragrant veil with a light concentration delicately refreshes the skin and gives a feeling of cleanliness and comfort
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The scent of Pacific Beach unfolds as an expressive line of development, where notes flow smoothly and sequentially. The style of Hollister is recognizable in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. No excess details, only what works, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Fragrant mist emphasizes a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
When the structure is mixed the opening appears as one connected movement with a juicy exotic mood: Blackcurrant, Praline and Raspberry. In this format 3 notes sound as one coherent layer, forming sweet sensation of summer nectar that keeps the opening compact and balanced.
The deeper layers are felt as a continuous motion from lift to depth, which gives the structure continuity.
The accord architecture rests on these accords: Gourmet and Fruit with each one in a clear role.
At the note-group layer the structure relies on Fruit, Sweet, Drinks and Fairy. It also reaches into Gourmet. Within olfactory families the composition sits in Fruit and Gourmet.
In summary Pacific Beach reads as a cohesive composition — the first stage creates momentum, the heart develops the core line, while the drydown anchors the memory. This is the type of composition best understood on skin.
