by Tiziana Terenzi
Borea by Tiziana Terenzi is a creamy, sweetly fruity floral with a distinct tropical coconut presence, leading to a soft, powdery drydown that evokes a high-end salon atmosphere. The opening blends juicy plum and pear with coconut and marzipan-like almond, creating a lush, slightly synthetic-sweet burst that feels both summery and feminine. As it develops, the bouquet shifts toward a delicate white floral medley—jasmine, freesia, and tuberose—lending a soft, slightly indolic elegance, while vanilla and sandalwood support the base without overpowering. The scent has a very quiet, intimate character in the drydown, acting more like a personal bubble than a projection. It performs best when worn on clothes, where longevity is substantial, even though the initial sillage fades quickly. The fragrance's character leans strongly towards the feminine side, with a powdery, luxurious feel akin to a boutique hair salon or a lightly dressed dessert. It’s well-suited for warm weather—spring and summer—and is frequently worn during the day, though it has a modicum of depth for evening wear when layered. The sweet, coconut-laced fruitiness is not overpowering, allowing for refined, everyday wear without drawing undue attention.
