Hollister Wave EDP in detail
Hollister is the house behind Wave EDP. It comes as Eau de Parfum.
Wave: day or night?
This is more of a daytime scent that suits the office and everyday wear. Its citrus side keeps it clean and easy.
Which weather suits it
It is at its best in spring. It is less suited to winter. From best to least suited, the seasons are spring, fall, summer and winter. If you need something for winter, Adidas Adipure is a better fit. Its fresh smell feels good on warm days.
Is Wave long lasting?
Expect about 3 to 6 hours on skin, which is about average for a perfume. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. Carolina Herrera Aqua and Dolce&Gabbana pour Homme 1994 last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like driftwood and salt are the part that stays longest on the skin.
How far it spreads
Its sillage is medium. People near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. Dolce&Gabbana pour Homme 1994 spreads further.
Its style
The strongest accord is citrus (100%), followed by woody and aromatic. You will probably like it if you enjoy citrus and woody smells and notes like lavender and driftwood. Less obvious notes include grapefruit, neroli and musk. Perfume fans rate it 3.92 out of 5.
