Borabora
Borabora by Giardini di Toscana is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with tiare, ylang-ylang, jasmine and apricot, moves into coconut and white musk and dries down to vanilla, amber, white musk and caramel. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Tiare Creamy tropical white flower. Suntan lotion, in the best way.
- Ylang-Ylang Banana-custard floral. Rich, tropical and slightly rubbery.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
- Apricot Warm, jammy stone fruit. Often hiding inside osmanthus.
Heart
- Coconut Creamy and tropical. Suncream in the best possible way.
- White Musk Clean, soft, laundry-like. The 'smells like nothing but better' note.
Dry-down
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
- White Musk Clean, soft, laundry-like. The 'smells like nothing but better' note.
- Caramel Burnt sugar. Rich, sticky and unapologetically sweet.
