What does Borea smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick spring, summer and fall, with winter chosen less often. It is worn for leisure and daily use, and also for evenings and nights out. Nearly half of voters read it as feminine, though some find it modern or classic.

The top opens with coconut, peach, plum and almond for a sweet fruity start. The heart turns to a floral bouquet of magnolia, musk rose, iris, jasmine, freesia and tuberose. In the base, sandalwood, vanilla and musk leave a creamy softness, while oakmoss adds a woody balance. The Fragrance Amethyst Soul and Loewe Aire Atardecer have a close profile.
