Malaia Hollister for women

I do like it but it doesn't last very long. Very musky and woody. I was pretty upset when I didn't see it in the stores anymore.

Awesome smelling perfume!!!! Def my FAVORITE except it doesnt last long at all:( if only there was a better version but I think its discontinued now

I wore this til the last drop literally, I loved the fresh and sexy smell of it. I think I may get this once I get to the last drop of my Issey....maybe just maybe. I had it back in 07.

wow this is nice, much nicer than that nasty Ryder I had. This is a wonderful summer scent, smells like salty sea air in a lovely way. Love this. Projection is not great but stays on the skin pretty long

A friend bought this for me back in summer '08, which was my last summer before "turning into an adult" (My 18th birthday was the following september)

I ran out and never bought more, eventually forgetting about it completely. A few weeks ago I just happened to be in Hollister and decided to buy another bottle. Upon the first spray, it REALLY brought back memories and made me feel super nostalgic. For that reason, it's my new favorite :)

The perfume itself smells lovely. Strong enough to be noticed, but not overpowering. The PERFECT blend of sweet and sexy. Lasts long, and I swear it smells better as the day goes on!

It smells like sun tan lotion which has gone bad:( It is very fresh, a little bit plasticky and sour maybe? I cannot detect any fruit in it. It reminds me of the beach though. Just not for me

It sooo reminds me of Clinique a happy to be. Maybe a bit more woody. Good memories :-)

Reminds me of the smell of the beach. Very nice.

Ah, the memories. This was my signature scent for over two years and the perfume I keep coming back to when I don't know what to wear. Probably my ALL-TIME favorite scent to be honest.

When I think of Malaia, I think: sparkling, fresh, fruity, young, clean...and it just works so well with my body chemistry! :)

At first spritz, it starts off as a beachy, sparkling floral. The heart smells like fresh melons with watery florals mixed in. The base is still fresh and fruity but takes on a subtle woodsy note. The fragrance is just extremely well rounded and blended. :) I can wear Malaia at school, on a date, or of course at the beach which is what it reminds me of. It's the perfect scent to transition from winter to spring or even spring to summer.

This was my first signature scent and I highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend it! It's quite popular amongst my friends who have smelled it and I've gotten compliments on how I "always smell good". Well done, Hollister. Who knew a clothing store could be so talented with perfume? ♥

Layered this with Kenzo Amour Le Parfum and it smelled so good.

I was at the store trying the Kenzo perfume- spraying it in my hair and later visited the Hollister shop where I "added" Malaia.

I usually never do this, because I think that every fragrance needs its space... but I did it almost instinctively and for me both perfumes mingled so wonderfully

But of course I also would wear Malaia on its own, smells so special to me...coaxing exotic flowers, and it definitely carries the feeling of beach and sea that I love

I can't believe that this perfume has been out for a few years now and I've only just discovered it recently! Normally I dislike the Hollister fragrances for women because they have a tendency to smell too masculine on me. But like suppie, I think Malaia is the only one that I actually like; it smells very feminine on me and I fell in love with it immediately. It's true that it smells a bit like the inside of a Hollister store, but it's much, much softer and subtle. It's a hard scent to describe because I can't really distinguish any individual notes.. On my skin, it smells sweet, but not too sweet because of the woody undertones. It reminds me a lot of my shampoo, which is never a bad thing to smell like :) The only criticism I have is that it only lasts for a few hours on my skin. All in all, I recommend it if you're looking for a sweet, clean scent that isn't too overpoweringly sweet or citrusy.

my perfect transition perfume from winter to spring. i just had to have it the moment i smelled it. its the only hollister perfume from the girls section that i truly adore.
the staying power lasts only 5 hours and then i;d have to reapply but the price for a 2oz wasn't so bad; almost $40 with tax for a 2oz bottle.
i like this scent a lot.

Good but can be way too strong. It dries down to a powdery smell almost but you can detect some fruity melon type smell in it. It smells good but can be overpowering if too much is applied. Lasts a long time too. Way too expensive though.

this smells AWESOME, but lasts maybe a total of 5 minutes.

Reminded me of Miss Dior Cherie L'eau. A light floral fragrance with a hint of citrus and woods.

I love this one! It reminds me of walking along the beach in California. I would definitely try this if i were you. :)

i love this perfume! it was 20 bucks i think for like 1 oz. it lasts a good 3-4 hrs. and smells amazingg. whenever i wear it people are always like "what smells so good? it smells like hollister!" (btw, the hollister store smells really good inside) at first there are some really sharp floral notes and a few woody notes. as it fades, it turns into a softer, fruiter scent. i can pick up some melon notes and maybe a little vanilla. whenever i wear it i cant stop smelling myself(:

A fresh, light floral, with a pinch of fruit, maybe melon. The woods are pretty subtle, and probably just keep the mixture from being too sweet. However, it doesn't remind me of the beach. A good everyday fragrance, though it doesn't have much lasting power on me, maybe 2 hours.

one of the best i've ever smelled. i love it.
