Bora Bora Exotic

This version is a bit softer and lighter and more fruiter then it's predecessor it doe'snt have a harsh tuberose and jasmine edge to it the opening is an succulent blast of black current a sharp tangy note dries in a few minutes to an deep orchid adds exoticism the drydown turns a bit florally mild powdery texture of Violet and rose and notices sandalwood faint diluted ounce of it in the base of this scent. it has a girl next door preppy blonde with a pink cashmere cardigan and a black pencil skirt to the knees nothing skanky about this scent or her it's bright and bubbly it makes Wednesday Adams cringe into the darkness vibe if your looking for an bright fragrance this is it.

Everyone needs to know about this one for summer! The rose in this smells just like it does when you close your eyes and sniff the roses from a rose bush. It's much more subtle and has a freshness that an ordinary rose doesn't have. Blackberry, it has no scent but....the blackberry in this smells identical to the taste of a blackberry in your mouth. My mouth almost watered as I sniffed this. That's all I can describe on this one. The other scents must blend in well enough, I don't smell them so strongly. This scent is the flavor of blackberries in August. Tropical? yes. Fresh and juicy? YEPPER!!!!

This is just gorgeous. I do smell blackberry and orchid right from the start. This is the perfect embodiment of a fresh, simple, but not boring, "fruity floral" done right and well balanced. All four notes are there, but none dominates. I spritz it on and it takes away the summer heat and humidity instantly and I feel like I am on a white sandy beach and turquoise waters stretch out ahead. Sweet flowers and slightly tart fruit, so lovely. I would be sad if I was not able to always have this, I have nothing else like it!

I recently blind bought Bora Bora Exotic based on reviews because a lot of people said it was similar to Dior J'adore & I'm glad I took the chance! I love J'adore but not so much the price tag. Bora Bora Exotic has solved that issue for me because this is a very good dupe. Longevity & projection is good. Under half the price of J'adore so very good value.

Nice review Sissi. I'll keep looking for more. I couldn't do this justice. I love this more than ALL my other perfumes still. Might be an all time favorite?
