Tamarama Hollister, unveiled in 2011, is positioned as a feminine fragrance, belonging to the floral family. In eau de parfum — and that's all it takes to fall in love.
It has a delicate sillage, staying close and personal. A subtle fragrance: the longevity is low, which suits its gentle character. Country of origin — the United States. Tamarama Hollister unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
The fragrance has low persistence and lasts on the skin for about 2–3 hours, gradually fading and smoothly revealing its main notes
A subtle trail—just a hint of fragrance
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The olfactory structure of Tamarama evolves as a cohesive olfactory arc, where layers reveal themselves smoothly and sequentially. The creative approach of Hollister is evident from the opening to the final trail. No excess details, only what works, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de parfum keeps the right density and pace of development.
The olfactory framework rests on these accords: Floral, Wood and Spicy with each one in a clear role. The gender direction is feminine, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived. For persistence Low indicates a stable lasting impression. In projection Weak defines the projection profile in space.
When the pyramid is blended into one block the notes arrive together with a multi-layered petal mood: Orchid, Sandalwood and Vanilla.
The inner phases are felt as a continuous motion from lift to depth, which preserves the scent identity through drydown.
At the note-group layer the profile is anchored in Floral, Wood, Gourmet and Whiteflower. From a family perspective the scent maps to Floral.
Overall Tamarama reads as a cohesive composition — the first stage creates momentum, the central phase adds depth, and the base secures the trail. These are the fragrances best experienced in wear.
