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!!!

Amazing. Got a sample as part of a discovery set, and had zero expectations. Usually I am not a fan of coconut scents, but here it has more a background role, and beautifully marries with the white florals and fruits. The airy jasmine with sweet vanilla shines in the dry down. Definitely FB worthy for me.

I’m belong ti the fanclub of this scent. I just love this scent! It’s taking me to a beautiful hot summer day. Tropical, sweet, and warm. I’m gonna wear the s.. outta this in the summer ☀️

Very nice summer scent!. I get, in a good way, expensive Hair salon smell :-D and I love it!

One of the most beautiful fragrances for me. Great smell and performance.

I blind bought this based on the notes, it was on sale, so I thought why not? It's a very creamy sweet fruit perfume. It's pleasant, nonetheless I don't find ir to be very original. I get it, it's not from the most expensive lines from Tiziana Terenzi, but I would've loved more originality. You could get the same from a designer frag or even celebrity. It's spring so it sits very close to the skin, I hope the summer heat will open it up more.

Blind bought this from perfume retailer website after reading the reviews and liking thr notes. Used this and sprayed more than my usual. But I can’t seem to smell anything. I could be nose blind . Or had a defective bottle

I collect plumerias (frangipani), and this smells like a strongly-scented white plumeria, a tad more soapy. Borea layered with vanilla would be so smooth and creamy. Lasted less than an hour on my skin.

This was completely opposite of what I thought it would be based off of the notes. I get no almond at all. Almond is usually a very distinct creamy note. I also don’t get the coconut. The coconut note may be coconut water. I get a-lot of plum and pear. This actually is a light fruity slightly musky scent. It doesn’t project at all. Maybe it will in heat. This quickly dries down into a skin scent. It’s a nice scent. I find that TT parfums need time to sit & that they get better over time.

This reminded me of Serge Luten Datura Noir, without the weird moth ball and urinal cake vibes that Datura Noir had. This is what I wanted Datura Noir to be. Love this! Not at all like Rolling in Love IMO. And wise words from reviewer below, this is often heavily discounted so do not pay full price it is not worth it. Update: Had to declutter as it did not mesh with my skin chemistry. Thought it would be better in the summer but no luck.

Save your coin; get Estée Lauder bronze goddess instead! Trust me. If you can find the one in the rose gold bottle, from 2017 I think, get that! Even the newer EDP of Bronze Goddess is money well spent. This opens up BEAUTIFULLY! But dries down soooo basic. Just the average sweet, powdery, vanillic, sandalwood. Low-key sad coz I REALLY wanted to buy it when I experienced the top notes, alas, the dry down is such a disappointment.

Thought this would be the ONE beachy summer perfume, but it opens masculine. It smells extremely sweet with some strong aromatic in there that throws the whole thing for me. I sniffed and went ooof! No, but passed my decant to my friend and it was a drug to her

Wow almost no reviews for this. I bought a large sample, but might have to come back to review again. I smell almost nothing!!! It’s a legit sample. No idea how everyone is saying it projects and lasts eternally.

After testing this for a while here are my impressions: It opens a bit weird/synthetic and is a bit of a mess if I'm being honest. The notes just don't blend together very well. It's more sweet than floral, and has a strong artificial syrup quality. The dry down after an hour is ok I guess, but very generic & unfortunately smells a bit cheap. This is definitely NOT unisex. If anything, this is as feminine as it gets... It has a Coconut/Monoi tropical feel to it, but is way too sweet compared to other tropical fragrances. I really wanted to love this, but there's something about it that just doesn't work for me.

When considering Borea by Tiziana Terenzi, my advice to those intrigued by this fragrance is to exercise a bit of patience. It opens with a burst of citrusy freshness, though this initial phase is short-lived. After a brief while, it reveals its true character - a delicate tuberose on a foundation of clean almond, infused with subtle soapy and powdery notes, and a hint of sweetness. As it gradually fades, it morphs into a skin-like scent.

This dos not last at all super weak performance diminished in an hour . I can smell if I put my nose directly on my skin, but other than that, I don’t smell anything. Was so hyped up and couldn’t wait to try this and now that I have it, I am more than disappointed. I’m done buying fragrances unless I can smell & test in person. Some YouTube influencers be hyping stuff up and it’s annoying 🤦🏽♀️
