Giardini di Toscana built Borabora as a tropical, coconut-heavy floral around a beach-holiday mood. Apricot opens it juicy, with jasmine, tiare flower and ylang-ylang layered in for a full, heady bouquet. The heart turns milky: coconut milk and a jasmolactone accord bring a soft, sunlit warmth. Amber, caramel, vanilla and white musk settle the base into something soft and lingering rather than sharp. Silvia Martinelli built it to sit outside gender lines, best for anyone who wants a beach scent leaning creamy rather than salty or green. Voters keep it strictly for summer, worn by day and into the evening. The vote leans toward long-lasting for longevity, and toward strong for sillage, so a light layer still travels. Try a 3ml decant through a warm week before deciding if it belongs in your summer rotation.

The house
More from Giardini di Toscana
Giardini di Toscana comes from Bibbiena, in Tuscany, where the house began in 1942, and it now makes soft, comforting perfumes that nearly all read as unisex. Vanilla and white musk sit at the heart of the range, with caramel, honey and coconut milk adding a creamy, dessert-like warmth. Bianco Latte, from 2023, is the easy way in: milky vanilla with a drizzle of caramel and honey. Oro e Miele leans further into golden sweetness, as its name hints. Borabora and Celeste complete the set here. Silvia Martinelli is the perfumer credited on the range.
