Pineapple
I got this at the mall when it was on sale. Fell in love with it because I never had a perfume with a pineapple note before. Refreshing scent. You can definitely smell the pineapple in this perfume. When I have to go to my anatomy lab at the college, I wear this because it is not overbearing since we all sit very close to each other. I do not want to disturb others with such a strong perfume. Overall, nice soft pineapple scent for the summer.

Smells like fruity-fresh shampoo
If you miss any of the fruity Escada releases from the mid-2000s (Pacific Paradise, Sunset Heat, etc), or some of the lighter/fruity-er Juicy Couture releases, you'll love this. It's soft, fruity, sweet, feminine, and nostalgic. This smells like the 2000s "it girl" perfume - some preppy/popular girl that you'd smell walking past you in your high school hallway on the way to class, wishing you could be as cool as she was.

The pineapple and waterlily notes were actually so well-blended that my first thought when sniffing was "fruity-fresh shampoo", and it even tricked my nose into thinking it might have been a fruity-violet blend. To me it's comforting, but definitely sweet so I can't spray much - so if that's not your thing, maybe try it in one of Hollister's stores first to check how you tolerate it. I think it's perfect for spring - girly, flirty, carefree.

Projects well, longevity is surprisingly great - it's been about 5 hours since spraying and it smells almost as strong as when I first sprayed. For $30, this is a high performer!

Orchard on summer vacation
The outdated bottle pictured here has long since been replaced with a modern one, which can also be found in the user pictures here.
It is a very successful bottle, because with its beautiful pink to light blue color gradient, it captures the feeling of this fragrance perfectly.

Pure Cali Eau de Parfum is a very simple fragrance. We have cedar, pineapple and water lily, with the fresh, floral water lily forming the basis of the fragrance, on which a very friendly and sweet-fruity pineapple builds its aroma. The cedar, which barely stands out and does not add any woody accents, lingers in the background and is beautifully blended into the fragrance profile here.
The fact that such a simple fragrance captures such fantastically exotic vibes of a vacation in a distant foreign country is, for me at least, very impressive. It only takes 3 (official) notes to evoke images in the mind and feelings in the heart.
A really very good fragrance for warm summer days, which also exudes a pleasant lightness and is almost addictively delicious.

However, its simplicity is noticeable over time and it becomes a little dull after just a few hours. It's a shame, but Hollister is not a luxury brand. This is also noticeable in the quickly diminishing sillage and the short shelf life of around 4 hours until close to the skin.

Nevertheless, all in all a great women's fragrance for little money. A great vacation companion and otherwise a sweetener for everyday life, leisure time and summer parties.
