Hollister Palm Springs is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2025, created by Catherine Selig. Palm Springs opens with Cactus, Lemon Blossom, and Ginger, settles into a heart of Sea Water, Vodka, and Pebbles, and dries down to a base of Musk and Vetiver. Hollister's Palm Springs carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

A divisive scent for sure: some will love the unique, boozy-fresh vibe, others will find it just too weird. It's a modern take on aquatic that isn't afraid to take risks and isn't a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Date

The fresh, marine elements make it suitable for casual wear and active settings, but the boozy, unconventional notes might be too distracting for a formal office environment. While unique, it's not universally appealing enough for a safe formal choice.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Palm Springs kicks off with an unexpected zing of cactus and sharp lemon blossom, immediately followed by the spicy heat of ginger. The heart dives into an unusual blend of saline sea water and a boozy hit of vodka, layered over a mineral base that feels like cool, wet stone. It dries down to a clean, earthy vetiver and soft musk, leaving a lingering, slightly unsettling freshness.
