Bora Bora Exotic for Men

This is a much more crowd pleasing Fahrenheit in every way, without the tar-like gasoline note and a little added spice! This is Fahrenheit upgraded for modern times. This is Fahrenheit with more contrast. This is Fahrenheit with a brighter demeanor. This is Fahrenheit that ANYONE can afford, and it lasts just as well too! Don't get me wrong, it's not quite as potent as Fahrenheit, but at its price, you can afford to squeeze out a couple more sprays, and it WILL last for quite a while - through a whole work day or a night out, for me. Not to mention - I get so many compliments on this one! Fahrenheit is expensive, and I love it, but I wear it for ME. I've never once received a compliment on Fahrenheit, but when I wear Bora Bora Exotic, I get TONS of compliments! Honestly, after trying them side-by-side, I have to say, I like Bora Bora Exotic much more! Lastly, I have to mention that this scent is also very similar to Lucky Number 6, but with leather instead of the green tea notes. As the notes and bottle styles would imply, Lucky Number 6 is more relaxing, whereas Bora Bora Exotic is more outgoing and cheerful.

I just ordered a bottle of this juice earlier today. Although i'm very surprised more than a few of you are comparing this to Fahrenheit. Fahrenheit is a living legend, already in the Cologne hall of fame. Fahrenheit is top 3 probably of all time, for the greatest scents ever made for a man. I've heard about the Curve Black comparisons to Fahrenheit, Curve Black is easily the best of all the curve scents, Curve soul is an outstanding 2nd though. But I'll see within 7 days if Bora Bora Exotic is the real deal. Update to follow Update. Wow, this smells like 75%-80% of Fahrenheit. You can tell it's a bit lighter, and missing a base and top note. Original Dior Fahrenheit, is amazing, and it's scent is in your face strong but smells simply amazing. Bora Bora Exotic is very nice though. Most people on the street won't notice the difference, but longevity is only 2-3 hours on me in San Diego. For the price though this is an amazing buy, and no stress on your pocket book. Scent:9 Longevity:4 Sillage:6 Unique/Industry First:5 Quality:6

People talk like you are coming here to find something that smells like Fahrenheit. That is primarily what you will find. Those who enjoy this style will appreciate this for its lighter and crisper take. Is this a blue fragrance, no, but it will be about as close as you will get and still be like Fahrenheit. I think it falls closest to Ferrari Uomo. It lacks the depth of hommage a l'homme or the OG Fahrenheit and it certainly is not as fruity as Lucky Number Six. I'm glad I added this one to my collection. Enjoy!

looks like it is no longer in production after looking over inventory but anyway its a really nice take on Fahrenheit and alot cheaper update after testing this on like a shirt after a week you can still smell it but its a strong musky odor and not pleasant either so i would suggest not using it on shirts and just use it on skin . this scent is very heavy musky cologne . on skin its fine though dry down is pleasant last around 10 hours

mr clean i am very pleased with this..just got it...and i must say it is borenheit...it also reminds me of dunhill fresh & metal jeans as well....thankyou for your great insight and olfactory senses..lol...i give this an 8.5/1O...and also has a decent longevity and silage..WELL WORTH ADDING TO A GREAT PARFUME COLLECTION!!! THANKS AGAIN MR TONY!!! ,,,PS..THE FLASK IS QUITE NICE ALSO

Spicy, leathery, sweet and aromatic. It's like Fahrenheit but without the gasoline smell (to my nose) and not quite the same level of complexity. It's brighter and fresher than Fahrenheit, making it more of a springy-summery day scent. Slightly spicier as well. For its price it's definitely worth picking up.

Big fan of this scent! This is Fahrenheit for the modern man (and modest pocketbook). I get mad compliments when I wear this and I feel good in it! Kudos!

Leather, tea and ginger spice bomb. Very 80s. 👍👏💙Day time wear during winter season. Good ladting power. For real men. Not for the new age teenager.

My X-Centric (Dunhill) ended for a long time and it's very difficult to find it nowadays (I'd say impossible). Although it has not been discontinued, went years without being seen for sale, even at international stores. That's where Bora Bora Exotic comes, because it is very similar to X-Centric. What a pleasant surprise! Besides fruity accords, it has oriental spices, such as cinnamon, anise and pepper, in the output; exotic spices, such as cardamom and nutmeg, in the heart, and musk in the base. It's refreshing at first, along with the spicy nuances, which make it last enough on the skin, and gaining more sensual nuances of musk, at the end of the evolution. It's one of those colognes for people who don't want to make a mistake at work, for example, because it is very easy to please.

Once I said: I ́d like to find a frag like Fahrenheit whitout that gasoline rubber smell. I think this is a great option; it's cheap,fresh, good longevity and sillage for the price. Really like it but Dior always be Dior (quality). I enjoy more Bora Bora Exotic.

Bora Bora exotic is pretty much a lighter version of dior Fahrenheit, it is worth every penny I paid $18.59 a month ago for 100ml. very good buy

Opens like a blue-raspberry snow cone and dries down to (what I recall to be) vintage Curve. Very good longevity for the price.

Decided to pick this up because I saw it was dirt cheap and people were comparing it to Fahrenheit but lighter and without the gas/petrol note. Figured this toned down version might be more work appropriate. Upon initial stray it opens very synthetic and sweet/fruity and you think how in the world is this going to smell like Fahrenheit. It quickly dries down and that is where the Fahrenheit vibe kicks in. However, to my nose it more closely resembles a cross between Lucky #6 and Dunhill Fresh than it does Fahrenheit. For an EDC concentration the longevity is not that bad. It's not a projection/longevity beast but after 3 hours you still know it's there before it starts to fade away between hours 4-5. I have come across plenty of EDT's, some in my wardrobe currently, that have notably weaker performance. All in all its a pretty versatile scent and can be worn pretty much any season except maybe a hot and humid summer day or a bitter cold winter day. While not a mind blowing, must buy cheapie, it's a fair offering. 6/10

Bora Bora Exotic captured my attention because of the "fruity" accords people smelled that weren't listed. One review went as far as saying this smelled like Sunset Heat by Escada. Well, Bora Bora Exotic opens with beautiful, deep fruit accords but they disappear within thirty seconds! What we're left with is a very nice, amicable leather note. The comments that Bora Bora Exotic is similar to Liz Claiborne's Lucky Number 6 is very accurate. Where Lucky Number 6 smells more green, Bora Bora Exotic stays neutral with its musk and tame leather accords. This is very similar to Bora Bora, but with a less explicit leather note and no citrus top notes.

Took a risk today with this one. Saw it for £6 for 100ml which i could not resist. Kind of liked the name. I am not really familiar with this house but wow what a pleasant surprise. This is a fantastic scent which does pretty much what it says on the tin. I have Viaggio d'Africa by pal Zileri which retails at £90 and is one of my favourite scents and i must say that Bora Bora Exotic is not a million miles away in its structure. It has a deep fruit opening that blends well with the light spices and then after a bit the sensual musk takes over and lasts for a respectable amount of time.

Label me loony. This smells like a brighter and more aromatic Dior Farenheit ! This is a easier to like and easier to wear Fahrenheit and I am amazed it did not sell well. My dad just bought a back up bottle, just in case it sells out and becomes hard to find. I would recommend to those who love Fahrenheit or Ferrari essence uomo/homme on the cheap. lasts 6 hours on me and is loud for a hour and slowly becomes a skin scent. A pleasant surprise.

I have a 2015 batch of Fahrenheit EDT. And recently got Bora Bora Exotic cologne, because the community says it is similar. Opening: Spicier compared to Fahrenheit with cardamon and cinnamon, missing the initial Fahrenheit gasoline scent. Dry Down: Surprisingly after 30 mins to an hour, a fresh gasoline scent appears with a hint of tobacco. Does not have the smooth powdery note of Fahrenheit. Overall a fresh spicier version Fahrenheit.

two weeks ago i was with my wife and kids at el yunque rain forest here in puerto rico,(pronounced yoonkay) the only rainforest in the u.s. parks system. while there, my wife and i took notice of the different scents around us and how similar the smells are to an open market that sells fruits and spices. this is what i get from bora bora exotic,although not for every one, my wife and i, we both use and enjoy bb exotic.try it.ciao!

@AstralMatrix Hey, when you said, "Bora Bora Exotic is NOT sweet OR fruity OR beautiful", I was intrigued enough to order a bottle, blind, ha. I was a HUGE fan of the original Bora Bora for Men, and always wondered about this one, although I never found it anywhere, even back "in the day", except online recently. It's arriving tomorrow (along with a couple of others), and I can't wait to give it a try.

Alright, just as stated below, "Bora Bora Exotic is NOT sweet OR fruity OR beautiful"... but seems to be a spicy floral. On MY skin, it dies. But on the fabric I sprayed earlier, quite nice. But I see why this was never popular. :-( UPDATE: It's difficult to discern the spices, but I suspect it's mostly ginger, as it was in the original Bora Bora for Men.

It's perfect for a cooler Spring day like today. As others said it's a lighter fahrenheit. So little heavy for summer. Once again, like everything else the price tripled. It went from $12 just 4 years ago to over $35 today.. What's next? A new law to tax or fine fragrance wearers for their carbon footprint? Don't be surprised.

For $10 ot $12 dollars you could do worse than bora bora exotic. It does resemble Fahrenheit but as you would expect with a fragrance this inexpensive it lacks the depth and performance. It's a leathery spicy fragrance with a slight fresh petrol vibe on my skin. Spray heavy and spray your clothes with this one.

really good cologne smells like fruity Fahrenheit .its still available but the price has tripled it was alot cheaper i remember seeing it on ebay i think it was under 10 bucks 4 years ago pre covid . better break out the big dollars biden trump inflation

99% copy of fahrenheit.performance same as fahrenheit.long lasting fragrance.more compliments if u wear this on your gym session.the aroma will change if the sweat and perfume combined.you gonna try this.very affordable compare thos expensive fahrenheit

Haven't smelled Bora Bora. But I wonder, how does a cologne with TWO notes listed smell like Fahrenheit, with over 20 notes? Then again, Metal Jeans Man smells like Fahrenheit to me, and it has no notes listed.

fraghound: Because, often the notes listed on Fragrantica are incorrect, and they also REALLY influence what people think they smell.

How do I get a gasoline smell from these notes?
