Borea

Borea is exactly what I was expecting to smell like when looking at the notes listed. It’s a full on love for me! The most prominent notes from the plethora listed are coconut and almonds, tuberose and freesia, plum, jasmine, rose, vanilla and musk. It is a warm, smooth, super creamy perfume. Moderately sweet, it’s a gorgeous gourmand, tropical, fruity floral, with an addictive scent trail. Add to this a nutty/almondy/powdery facet and you have the complete picture of how Borea smells like. If there’s something to speak negatively about it’s the fact that it doesn’t smell like a niche perfume, it’s not very edgy or creative. But for what it is, it’s an amazing spring/summer perfume! The packaging and the performance of Borea tops the typical designer creations. It’s strong and long lasting with a moderate sillage. The only pet peeve I have with Tiziana Terenzi packaging is the cheap, plasticky feeling cap. Some might find the golden painted bottle a bit tacky, I don’t mind it! I have found it heavily discounted online so for the price I have paid, I can’t complain at all. I have paid less than I would have paid for a Narciso Rodriguez for instance! I would not recommend paying full retail price for this fragrance, since it’s an older release, can be obtained on discount websites for a great price! Overall, I would say Tiziana Terenzi offers great fragrances in my opinion and Borea is a good example!

I have this perfume in 100 ml size. It has a high intensity the first 2 hours and then we will have it in medium intensity. A duration of about 11 hours but it can perfectly last longer. I am a great lover of the different perfumes of the Tiziana Terenzi house, the fruit notes work in a beautiful, delicate and exceptional way. If you know Cassiopea or Andromeda, you can easily get to the idea of the fruit set that you could find here, not because it is the same, but in the use of fruits. This perfume is characterized by the use of plum, fleshy, juicy ... and coconut, tropical and exotic. These beautiful fruits are accompanied by character flowers such as tuberose or fressia, the almond gives such a delicious touch ... You could say many things about its aromas, but for me the most important thing is the personal feeling that it conveys to me. I feel extremely feminine with this perfume, an aroma that gives me sensuality and energy. It's a scent that when it's a sunny day I want to wear it. Completely delicious. Unisex? For a man? Logically the perfumes are for those who like them but if it is true that in my opinion the character, very fruity sweet of its aromas are very good on the feminine side, so the boys better try before buying blindly.

Borea is an odd duck. When I first blind bought her, I sniffed, wrote the word "meh" in my log, then forgot about this bottle for a year. It wasn't until seeing Borea listed as a "coconut" perfume in a YouTube review that I decided to try her again--she opens oddly and loudly, skewing masucline with plum, loud oak moss and what a reviewer below described as spicy "aromatics", and that fits. After a confusing start, she settles into something softer and more femme--I love the fruity coconut that sweetens to a powdery effect--it's an unusually elegant spin on coconut and jasmine. No offense to the reviewer below, but this is NOT a competitor of Bronze Goddess. I'm sorry, but they aren't even in the same league. This is BG's quirky rich aunt. And she's not really on vacation, either--she's staying at the Ritz and getting spa treatments, lol. Coconut isn't really the star--it's powder, jasmine and sweet fruits firstly. I LOVE this house. It isn't even in the same league as LV and those other overpriced designer houses. This is elegance and a point of view. Will I wear Borea every day? Maybe not, but I like this take on coconut and fruits.

The opening is a nice smooth blend of coconut, marzipan, pear and plum backed by sweet white florals. This is a fantastic white floral perfume and I find that the fruity top notes modify the florals perfectly. The florals aren't very indolic or skanky. The base notes mostly seem to stay out of the spotlight, instead lending sweetness and power to the other notes. This is a fantastic spring and summer fragrance. Definitely feminine leaning. On a test strip this does last a good amount of time, however it doesn't project very much once the topnotes fade out a bit. You get like 4 hours of decent performance and then it dials back to be more of an intimate bubble around you. I spray this on clothes to make it last as long as possible. This is generally a pretty safe and mass pleasing scent, and so maybe it'd be a good office scent due to the weaker projection.

Сперва мне вообще не понравилось, от запаха ужасно сильно болела голова хотелось аж принять ванну чтобы смыть этот запах. Из-за этого и решила спрятать данный аромат куда подальше, в самый дальний, темный угол шкафа. В прошествии года не вспоминала про него, и вот совсем недавно решила вновь попробовать и БОООЖЕ МОЙ КАКОЙ ЖЕ ОН ВОСХИТИТЕЛЬНЫЙ!!!
