Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its potent floral and sweet accords, coupled with strong performance, make it too dominant for most office environments. However, its exotic, luxurious profile is well-suited for dates and more formal occasions where making an impression is key, particularly in warmer climates.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Borabora opens with a heady blast of jasmine, tiare flower, and ylang-ylang, creating an intensely floral and slightly indolic tropical warmth. As it settles, creamy coconut and a subtle apricot note emerge, softening the initial floral punch. The dry-down weaves in a comforting base of caramel, amber, and vanilla, lending a smooth, sweet gourmand touch that lingers with notable projection.
