Tiziana Terenzi Borea is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Paolo Terenzi. Borea opens with Almond, Pear, Plum, and Coconut, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Tuberose, and Freesia, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Oakmoss, and Vanilla. Tiziana Terenzi's Borea carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one is a real head-scratcher. Some find Borea a beautifully blended, warm fruity floral, others get a screechy, synthetic mess with weak performance. If it works for you, it's a tropical dream, but it's a proper gamble.

Scent Profile

Composition

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.

Given the mixed reviews on performance - some stating it's strong and lasting, others finding it fleeting - its appropriateness varies. The sweet, tropical, and white floral accords lean more towards casual and date settings, with some finding it elegant enough for formal occasions yet potentially too cloying for the office.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bitter almond Benzaldehyde from Almond

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

Borea opens with a rich, creamy swirl of almond, coconut, and juicy plum, immediately evoking a sense of tropical delight. This sweet introduction yields to a blooming heart of white florals, featuring the lush depth of tuberose alongside delicate freesia and jasmine. As it settles, a smooth base of vanilla, musk, and sandalwood emerges, providing a soft, warm embrace beneath the lingering fruity and floral notes.
