Bora Bora

This was love at first spray the minute I tested this one random day at my local department store. After multiple tests on separate occasions, I knew I had to go to the Fragrantica community and find out the notes that made me head over heels in one spray. What do you know? Bergamot! Kiwi! Jasmine! Sandalwood! Vanilla! Uhhhhhhh! Ladies and gentlemen, I think I have found my fragrance for Summer 2013! (Or just a nice green, citrusy fragrance in general, I've been trying to find a one that I can work up to buy) But seriously, Vent du Sud is so--incredibly-- fresh, crisp, slightly flowerly and positively green! IMO, you can't go wrong with this one, it's casual and cool, and not sugary as others have said (nor tropical, but a definite citrus). Speaking of which, I'm hyped for the Island Fantasy by BSpears coming out this April, but I have a feeling it will be 10x more sugary than this, and I'm looking for a departure from my sweet floral-fruity's in favour of a more green, clean version. Vent du Sud is most definitely it...!!!

Just tested this one today but I didn't realize until I read the reviews that this one is renamed Vent du Sud....Anyway,I sniffed a bunch of perfumes yesterday and I wasn't impressed but I did really like this one. It has a very clean Summery Leafy green scent to me. I'm definitely picking up on the citrus and vanilla as well. I personally think its a great combination of notes if you're a fan of citrus perfumes. This is one of the only citrusy smelling perfumes that didn't give me a skin reaction as well so theres another plus. I'd only wear this one in the spring or Summer and only in the day time. Not a bad price $60.00...and the scent has lasted forever. Nice! I hate when perfumers change the names or the formula though...Its like changing a piece of art or History..Just shouldn't happen,even if its for the better IMO :) I'd recommend this one for sure though :)

Now called Lise Watier Vent du Sud. Quite sweet-smelling, bright, floral. Powdery in the dry-down. A bit distractingly sweet for my taste, but a lovely scent.

It's the typical perfume where I would say I like it but I don't. I love the smell in the bottle... the fruity and citrus smell... but then... vanilla and sugar come on and I just can't stand it. I think if you like sugary perfumes you might like this one. It's just not me... but that doesn't mean it's not you :)

OK! i will try not to be to rude for this one *Bora Bora* now is name Jardin du Sud !! ok just tried this one today 'cause the lady told me that is was a limited edition but lise Watier decide to make in a regular since the super *hit!! about it :) well... when i think of exotics usually images of the beach pina colada in my hads sweat sexy coconut lightly floral fruity scents comes to my mind but...

IS EXACTLY WHAT IT SMELL LIKE ... ON ME! NOT GOOD SYNTHETIC STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE PLASTIC DOLLS!!! no exotics sexy passport to the BEACH smell :) SERIOUSLY NOT FOR ME :)
